Subject: Re: It's time to ban flag burning
Have you? You haven't. Instead, you're falling back to the tired schtick that allows you to never state a firm position, but claim you did somewhere.
Here’s the position: Burning flags is an exercise in free speech, whether that flag is an American flag or a Pride flag. Therefore it is Constitutionally protected speech.
Neither, however, is protected from the free speech debate that such burning would initiate. Burn either one of them and I’m still going to call you an idiot.
But file charges or arrest you for burning either? Never.
I fail to see your point, other than some leftists might burn an American flag and some righties might burn a Pride flag, and depending on the crowd, the response might be cheering or booing.
Burn an American flag in my county, you might get shot. Burn a Pride flag? One third of the folks might cheer. One third would boo, and one third might ask “What’s a Pride flag?”
This entire discussion is so bizarre.
