This is how many liberals spent their Fouth of July, what a wonderful bunch.
Flags burn in celebration - By GENEVIEVE BOOKWALTER July 4, 2006: "About 25 revelers celebrated their freedom of speech and welcomed the Fourth of July on Monday night with the '2nd Annual Old Time American Flag Burn.'
Around a burn barrel at Seabright State Beach, organizer Brent Adams, 41, of Santa Cruz, declared flag burning not a protest, but a celebration of the Constitution's First Amendment.
'It seemed like a good idea to burn some flags just because we can,' added fellow organizer Sha Lar, 32, of Santa Cruz.
The festivities were especially relevant after a constitutional amendment allowing Congress to ban flag desecration died in the Senate last week.
That proposal came in response to Supreme Court rulings in 1989 and 1990 that burning and other desecrations of the flag are protected as free speech by the First Amendment.
But it failed by one vote in the Senate to reach the two-thirds approval required before going to the states for ratification.
'The Senate overruled it by one vote, and let's celebrate it,' Lar said. Some at the celebration noted that in other countries, they could be shot for torching the national flag. "

Would it be wrong to....um...hurt these liberals. After all it's supporting our freedom of speech. If they can go about hurting the honorable and amazing legacy of those who fought under "Old Glory," the least we could do is return the favor. Pfft, liberal pansies are the downfall of America.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, nice name, assuming it is Ray.
Name is Ray, and I agree with the hurting them part, but if we resort to that then you know what the mantra will be: Conservatives resort to low blow tactics to get point across, etc etc etc".
