Flag Disrespect

Flag desecration, or flag burning, as protest, seemes to be one of the least intelligent forms of protest ever created.

The American Flag represents everything America stands for and America itself. It is the symbol of America, and when you burn it, it should be considered to be one in the same as burning America. If you live in the U.S., the chance that you've achieved what have because you are a resident of America is very high. Desecrating the flag is like desecrating everything you own.

If one feels as if they are permitted to desecrate the flag, they should also feel that they have no other choice but to leave this country. That is exactly what I propose they do, leave.

Freedom of Speech, or Freedom of Expression, is not an absolute right; blowing up a building in the name of Allah is not protected under the First Amendment. If the government wants to regulate what expression is permisable, it is perfectly reasonable.

Additionally, the government derives its "just powers from the consent of the governed." Therefore, the decision regarding the legality of flag burning should be in the hands of the people and their elected representatives, not appointed judges.

Fighting for truth, justice, and the capitalistic way
