When I see things like what's in the original post I see Obama slowly becoming a dictator! People have put this dude on a pedestal and worship him like an idol and this scares me. To put his or any other politician on the flag is an insult to America, I know some people lack the ability to see why the flag is important and that is their issue. so, worshipping a FLAG is less scary to you than worshipping a PERSON? I at least understand the potential (Traits, characteristics, accomplishments) that might cause a person to be worshipped I Will never understand what is so precious about a FLAG.....that the object itself should be WORSHIPPED the flag has meaning behind it, the MIC (muslim in chief) means nothing... people have fought and died for what the flag represents, not what obama is.... |

We are talking about respecting it. You contradict yourself when you say you are for what it represents but not the object itself. If you agree with what it reperesents then then how can you agree with people desicrating it? Are they not disrespecting human lives and freedom by doing that? |

Doesn't that fit in with freedom of speech, though? You may not agree with someone if they desecrate the flag, but don't they have the right to do it under freedom of speech? |

Doing something that is physical is not speaking, I don't believe that the 1st amendment covers this. It covers people having a right to say its just a piece of cloth. |

Doing something that is physical is not speaking, I don't believe that the 1st amendment covers this. It covers people having a right to say its just a piece of cloth. From wiki. I'm sure there are several other sources you can find this information at, too. "The flag of the United States is sometimes symbolically burnt, often in protest of the policies of the American government, both within the country and abroad. The United States Supreme Court in Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989), and reaffirmed in U.S. v. Eichman, 496 U.S. 310 (1990), has ruled that due to the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, it is unconstitutional for a government (whether federal, state, or municipality) to prohibit the desecration of a flag, due to its status as "symbolic speech." However, content-neutral restrictions may still be imposed to regulate the time, place, and manner of such expression." |

Are they not disrespecting human lives and freedom by doing that? no, because I dont demand that it represents the same thing for everyone' case in point, the confederate flag, some revere it because of what it represents FOR THEM,,,, and others find it offensive by that very same logic (what it represents for THEM) |

I don't always agree with the SCOTUS, IMO they have sold us out before and tend to side with the government far too often. The only time the flag should be burned per the U.S. flag code is when it is deemed unfit to fly meaning that it is old and tattered. |

"(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature. " This nit wit who designed this is a **** head plain and simple! |

Obama and most liberals hate this country and believe the flag is just a piece of cloth and represents nothing. You're speaking for most liberals now? Considering most right wingers wouldn't know a liberal if one hugged them, that is remarkable huh? |

Considering most right wingers wouldn't know a liberal if one hugged them, that is remarkable huh? Your not a liberal so what do you care? If either one of you don't have anything intelligent to do say about the OP then don't post and please stop trying to guess what I'm thinking. I posted my opinion about the OP. If you don't like what I said that's fine. But it's not your place to to decide what I know. Post a response to prove I'm wrong, not one trying to provoke an argument. |
