Flag burning amendment...

Should there be an amendment to ban flag burning?

I think not.

It is a freedom of expression. What is the big deal about burning some fabric? If you can't burn it you shouldn't be allowed to raise one either.

Here is my thing, and we all know I am VERY patriotic. I think you have every right to burn the flag. It is freedom of speech. It is what the flag stands for, and ultimately that's what matters.

On the other side of the coin...

If I see you desicrating a flag, I will stomp a mud-hole in your ass. I consider it an attack on this great nation, and consider it my duty as a member of the armed forces.

I doubt you'd be willing to endure an Ass Whoopin just to prove a point. Especially one this pointless.
