I don't think I am making my position clear, I don't care much for the legality and constitutionality of the act of flag burning. I care about the less than 1% of our society-- marines, seamen, soldiers and airmen who for centuries have shed their blood for the meaning of the flag. It is with great disgust that I watch people, knowing the full history of sacrifices that our servicemen and women have made on behalf of their nation, burn the effigy that represents their passion.
@xlegiofalco I agree. And I think you are making your position very clear. I hope you continue to care about the "less than 1%." Yes, the flag is only a symbol, but it is near and dear to the hearts of those who had family or friends serve. Try to burn it around me, people. I think your video is wonderful.
Personally I think flag burners are disgusting pieces of garbage! However, they have the right to burn the US flag!!! The flag symbolizes freedom and the first amendment! That is something that nobody can burn!
Absolutely NOT. If this boondoggle were passed, it would amend the 1st Amendment to erode the free speech protections of all of us. Thousands of American men and women have laid down their lives to ensure our precious freedoms. To do this would be to spit on their graves. If you want to chip away at others' freedoms, your own will follow, just as night follows day. The only antidote to too much freedom is MORE freedom. And BTW, I'm a Conservative.
if someone took my fathers flag and burned it to say they ar protesting a war i will probably try to hurt them to near death. all the mongrels that want to burn our countries flag need to leave this great land to any other country of your choosing and will be banned to enter this nation ever again.

The flag is symbol, not the law. In being a symbol, it represents different things to different people. To me, it is symbol of freedom. Others might not view it that way and choose to speek out via burning that symbol, the flag.
The problem with symbolism is that you can force anything to "mean" anything you want. Wouldn't one agree it would be wrong of someone under the guise of freedom of speech to go to or near an elementary school and put up a huge poster of a naked woman-- "meaning" to express one's outrage at current fashion? If this is wrong, then how is it different to burn the flag of the US and claim it "means" going against a war? Freedom of speech does not entail lack of accountability for what you say.
Youre comparing apples and oranges. The flag is symbol of speech. After 9/11, eveyone bought a flag and hung it up.This was an act of speech protected by the first amendment. We spoke to the terrorist by showing pride thru our flag. But you cant have it both ways. If someone is pissed at our country, what better way is there to symbolize that? Thats why this issue gets people pissed off. thats the whole intention of burning the flag, to get politically noticed.
I see nothing wrong with Americans burning the American flag for whatever reason. That's one of the main things the flag represents anyway - FREEDOM. We have the freedom to burn the American flag if we wanted to, something a lot of people around the world don't have the right to do.
So even if an American is burning our flag for disrespectful reasons, they are yet respecting the flag by demonstrating what it's all about.
The flag represents the colonies rebelling against england after they stole the land from the the inhabiting people, so why should illegal to oppose a flag that represents so much greed.
Greed? My family is Cherokee Indians and only few Colonial Soldiers were stealing from the Indians most of them bought the land and made peace treaty's with the Indian tribal leaders for equal living on the new nation. Greed is a feeling you get when you want everything someone else has, its not wanting to be free from another countries rules.
Flag desecration IS protected by the first amendment, it is symbolic speech and a form of protest (and it does not infringe upon anyone else's rights). Flag desecration is used as a form of protest. The flag represents the current government of the U.S. And when one has a problem, for example, with the current war then one has the constitutional right to protest through burning a flag. Just to clarify, not supporting a war, does not in anyway mean that one does not support the troops.
Its legal currently, I'm arguing whether if its just or not, and if not, change the Constitution- the legal foundation and value system from which all jurisdiction in the US is derived- to reflect this act as a crime. Your intent for burning the US flag does not change the fact that you are burning the effigy that represents the unique Constitution (US) which provides for your right to initially protest. Its like burning a cat in protest- it doesn't make sense if its not equitable to the crime

its a flag of war from LA to Vietnam
it desecrates itself each time the air-force drops a bomb
So burn it stomp it tear it up at least hang it upside down
tie it to your foot and drag it on the ground
let everybody know how many lives are gone
