Trump backs bill to ban flag-burning: ‘A no brainer!’

[Doc8404]

Yeah , we all know that this thread isn't about littering or any of that.

You are just upset that you can't simply ban speech you disagree with, so let's just find something else to charge them with.

A good party member.

Once again you are proving your ignorance. In every thread on this topic, I have agreed that they have that right.

Nor did I say, no matter how you want to twist my words in this thread, they don’t have that right. I play the national anthem at every one of the games I coach. I had a parent that did not stand up. Other parents didn’t like it and asked me if I was going to talk to them and I simply told them, that it is their right. So don’t try your self righteous bullshit on me.

 

[Hillbilly77]

I don't like it when people burn the flag, but I do like their right to do it.

He's got a God-given right to bust your balls, Doc.

Oh. Whoops.

 

[Doc8404]

He's got a God-gievn right to bust your balls, Doc.

Oh. Whoops.

LMAO. And you have a right to post that. LOL.

Arent crimes supposed to have a victim?

 

[Doc8404]

Not victimless crimes.

No.

If you ban burning the American flag it would only be fair to ban burning other flags like nazi, and isis flags. Do you agree? Also, burning the american flag isn't always a disrespectful thing. There is actually a ceremony to do so which makes this bill even more nonsensical.

It’s called the retiring of a flag, two different things. It’s in the flag codes.

Is it against the law to start an America hating, flag burning, leftist on fire?

Asking for a friend.

I think it is OK to use the nearest item to beat the flames out with'Just say'in!

But but but you don’t have the right to do that

 

[Celt]

Just like most other people have said, I personally disagree with the act but I disagree with restricting freedom.

Do you have any clothing with the flag on it?

 

[ECU Pirates]

Speaking of flag code... doesn’t the blue line flag violate it? I’m surprised the left haven’t started burning that flag.

 

[Drinkthekoolaid]

Do you have any clothing with the flag on it?

Or bathing suits, beach towels, picnic table cloths...

Ya I know where this is going.

 

[Doc8404]

Do you have any clothing with the flag on it?

No. Just a pillow. And napkins. And seat covers.

[Calculon]

He's firing up his base and tweaking the left at the same time so its a win-win. I'm confident he knows that it's a free speech issue and this will go nowhere.

Some of the same people that want to make burning the flag illegal most likely have this:

It's not going to pass and if it does SCOTUS will strike it down. We benefit any time there is a National conversation on importance of the Bill of Rights.

I'm not sure SCOTUS gets a say about constitutional amendments. They can't be unconstitutional by definition.

Best they could do is pretend it doesn't exist like they do with the 2A.

*Trump supports an egregious constitution violation, again. *

*People explain why that's bad .*

*"Well...they should still be punished, I know what's best!"*

*Darth is being self righteous.*

You can't make this up.



Too many flag worshipers virtue signal in this country .

I love the "If you stomp my flag , I'll stomp your ass" shirts. No, no you won't.

No concept of what the flag stands for, and how it's not actually the piece of cloth that makes this country what it is. It's the right to desecrate it.

Set him on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

The idea of burning an American flag is repugnant and vile.
However, if I truly believe in real honest freedom, then I logically have to think that people should have the freedom to be an ignorant asshole and burn the flag. I value freedom more than the symbol of freedom. And I REALLY love the American flag.

This seems like such complete common sense it boggle my mind that anyone could see it differently.

Some like to try and pretend to be more patriotic than those around them, and the only true flex for them is acting like burning the flag is the worst thing that someone could do

Yep. I agree. Unfortunately some just want to argue when it is black and white how members feel.

It’s like dealing with a bad child on this forum but ignoring them doesn’t mean they go away.

 

[speedkills27]

Man you libertarians are hypocrites

Id love to hear your explanation of this

 

[Edwardteach72]

Id love to hear your explanation of this

If you notice he was asked by a few of us (I skipped the asking and just went to the he doesnt know what those words mean) but the only thing he responded to was about ceremonial burning of the flag, nothing else, ghosted the thread.. and ignored that he tried to call libertarians hypocrites but also is in favor of more government regulations and laws and restrictions on constitutional rights

 

[BDinPutnam]

I was going to say uniform but they didnt give him one yet.

No. Just a pillow. And napkins. And seat covers.

Disrespect is in the intent, not the action.

That's why burning the flag in protest is disrespectful, but doing it to dispose of a worn flag is the height of respect.

You treat the flag with respect by honoring it, and that for which it stands, not by slavishly following some rituals outlined in a "flag code".

So if I wipe my ass with it because I don’t have TP, that’s ok.
