2. ATTENTION Constitution Ignorers
There are more important issues than flag burning and besides, there's that whole Freedom of Expression thing...

3. Gawd these people are so emotional
I doubt they would really do anything, but their emotional attachment to the object over the idea is pathetic.

14. They like symbols — Flags, Bibles, Crosses, Guns more than they like human beings.

11. LOL

Yea really. Just another boogey-man issue of NOTHINGNESS to get the brownshirts up in a tizzy.

Between this issue, "God" on the dollar bill, and the pledge I dont know what is more useless.

8. In NY I saw an "Imagine No Liberals" sticker on a car. The idiot was in the car and I pointed
Edited on Thu Jan-04-07 04:59 PM by tblue
to a nearby "Mean People Suck" sticker and then back at him, and yes he saw me. I think God put the car with the "Mean" sticker there for me at that place and time, and for that purpose.

These rightwingers are certifiable, and I think with the changes in Congress, they will start acting pretty uppity and rowdy. Keep your cell phone camera/video at the ready.

17. I bet all the thousands of flag burners out there are scared sh*tless!
I'm sure that bumpersticker will deter hundreds of them, at least! Betcha they've been carrying around their kerosene in the trunk and their zippo lighters, just waiting for the right moment to appear in front of real patriot and burn his flag!

:shrug: :sarcasm:

23. Why just the other day, while I was putting the flag on the grill...
preparing to make a banquet of hot dogs and hamburgers over the fire of my US flags, I was thinking my liberal thoughts and breathing in fresh air while my bleeding liberal heart beat calmly. I thought about going to work and desecrating the flag while I was there, and then going to a preschool afterwards and teaching young impressionable minds to get their Mommy's Bic lighter off the coffee table, going to the backyard, and then burning a flag above an oildrum. On my way home from that, I could muse about going to a State-Funded University, getting the young adults together, and having a cheery old bonfire of flags, all the while singing songs of overthrowing the US so terrorists could take over.

How about this weekend all of us neighbors have a block party where we roast flags and make 'Smores over them? Because us Liberals all want to burn flags constantly, and if we're not thinking of ways to sink the US economy and help terrorists, then we're busy burning flags.


dumbass conservative pigs....

25. Those fuckin assholes would kill a flag burner?
What about a US Constitution burner? You know that's the oath soldiers take, to defend the US Constitution, not the flag.

"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
