For it has been said so truthfully that it is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us the freedom of the press.
It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the soldier, not the agitator, who has given us the freedom to protest.
It is the soldier who salutes the flag, serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who gives that protester the freedom he abuses to burn that flag. http://michellemalkin.com/ | You have said it yourself. Our soldiers risk and give their lives to protect our freedom. Because of this, our freedoms should be respected and protected by the law, not denied. A flag is a piece of fabric, but the right to burn a flag is a freedom, and it's a freedom that our soldiers fought for as much as any other freedom.
Our soliders did not fight to strip people's freedoms, so it does not make sense that we should strip people's freedom unless we absolutely have to. Now tell me why we absolutely have to strip people's freedom to burn the flag? Stripping any freedom is far more an insult to our soliders than protecting that freedom. -Jaxian |
