FREEDOM OF SPEECH MFR

Right-wing political correctness.

slow news day? There is already a law on the books for this the only reason why its not enforced is the supreme court ruling. This is just fluff he wanted to sell the idea that he loves his country.

[Superfluous Man]

I can't imagine Trump not wanting to ban flag burning.

What kind of sick fuck would burn an American flag?

Just disgusting.

Throw 'em in prison with the pedos & anarchists so they can all compete for title of lowest scum of the earth.

[RonZeplin]

Whatever it takes to protect the GOP flag.

If you can't burn the flag, then it's not a symbol of liberty.

Supreme court already ruled that flag burning as protest is legal and protected free speech. They are trying to get around that with a new amendment to the Constitution banning it (not gonna pass). Burning a flag is considered the proper way to dispose of a retired flag.

I use raggedy flags for my shop rags.

Libertarian purists are always going to quibble about inconsequential issues such as flag burning while Trump is busy solving bigger issues of real consequence. This is why you guys will never get ahead and your movement will die with you in your mom's basement. Don't care one way or the other about this topic, if this is what Trump has to do to win his base and continue on his crusade fighting for the nations survival, SO BE ..............IT!!!!

This flag stuff is complicated and confusing so that is why the President is taking the lead here I imagine. It is even worse at sea . There are all kinds of dirty foreigners running around flying flags to countries they have never been to .

Such as?

I agree that this issue, as much as it reflects core values that are antithetical to our cause, is not one that has any likelihood of Trump getting his way. But there are plenty of bigger issues of real consequence where this same statist law-and-order tendency drives Trump not to solve problems, but to cause them, such as his trade, immigration, and gun policies.

At this point I prefer nobody tackle any gun policies . Hopefully they can amuse themselves with house dems , dem pres candidates , other jokers , immigrants and trade .

Taxes, regulations and the supreme court for one. Not gonna die on the hill that is flag burning and you shouldn't.

Yea, it can be complicated. But even more than that, this is an issue he is using to solidify his base so that he can get re-elected in 2020. Its a gimmick that is going to affect less than 0.0000001% of the population. Let it go people.

Military flag burning ceremony- deport them all? (burning is the proper way to dispose of old flags).

Ceremonial Flag Burning
Before you gasp at the thought (as I did before I read on in my research on this topic) According to Wikipedia, this method of burning is in no way haphazard or unpatriotic, rather it requires a specific ceremony, where the flag is folded (correctly,) laid on a bonfire and burned patriotically; while being saluted, or having someone at the burning ceremony recite the Pledge of Allegiance or sing the National Anthem.

This process is used mainly for individuals retiring their personal flags, at home. But what if you don’t feel comfortable burning your flag on your own? What if you don’t know how to properly fold a flag? (You can find that out here by the way) Or more logically…what if you simply can’t build a fire on your property? Another option is…

This is a GREAT fireworks display.

The Grucci family moved to America in 1870 and they make their own fireworks in Radford, VA, with over 100 employees. And they make sure to ALWAYS get the right permits. :up::up:

-rep for being ignorant of the US Flag Code

Per. 4 U.S. Code § 8. (k)

(k) The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.

The important bit is "in a dignified way".

[Danke]

American flags or other country flags?

Does it matter?

I've reported you to the FBI for violating 18 U.S. Code § 700.

Enjoy your year in prison.

If the FBI comes to your door about reports of flag mis-use. you can let them know it was just a misunderstanding.

[Stratovarious]

I wouldn't call it a no brainer , I'd probably go with really fkg dumb, and a
massive assault on freedom of expression.

I've never burned the flag, I love the flag, but I get it , that it drives people, when you see things
like Hillary getting away with murder before your eyes with absolutely no penalties
you could tend to get a bit calloused.

Hero.

Apparently he's been at it for a long time.

From a 2006 article: (link) (https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/2006/anti-immigrant-activist-roy-warden-threatens-latinos)
Brandishing insults and a gun, Roy Warden routinely threatens Latinos with death. Some observers fear the worst.

[Zippyjuan]

This won't happen anyways since it requires either the Supreme Court to reverse an earlier decision or the US to pass a new amendment to the Constitution.

[Cleaner44]

While I don't want to see people burning flags, I oppose any effort to ban flag burning. In my mind the flag stand for the strength and freedom that is America and that means the freedom to burn flags. If flag burning is banned, then the flag loses it's meaning.

Execution by a firing squad of cops.

[Sonny Tufts]

People who advocate criminalizing the desecration of the flag are elevating the symbol over that which it symbolizes (hint: freedom). They have the same mindset as those Muslims who want to kill anyone ridiculing Mohammed -- the only difference is one of degree.
