    Flag burning is finally gonna be banned!

    (06-27) 04:00 PDT Washington -- A close vote is expected in the Senate this week as it takes up a long-debated constitutional amendment to ban desecration of the U.S. flag, legislation that in this congressional election year is one of three Republican-backed bills intended to protect patriotic symbols and rally the party's conservative base.

    Also up for consideration in the House this week is the Freedom to Display the Flag Act, which would bar condominiums or other homeowner associations from restricting the size or placement of residents' flags. It's expected to pass today.

    It's not banned until 38 states pass it over 7 years.

    This is bullshit. I guess the 1st Amendment means nothing.

        I especially like the one that says you can hang a 500 foot flag in your front yard.

          It will not be banned. The only countries that ban flag burning currently are: China, Cuba and Iraq. I don't think we want to part of that group and if someone wants to burn the flag let them. Just makes them look stupid!

            If it passes the house and 38 state legislators pass it within 7 years it will be a Consitutional admendment. You know I'm quite posiitvie that flag burning existed in the late 1700's. So if the founding fathers wanted it banned they would have said so.

              It's vote-getting. Feds often work on appearances with something that is under control by each state anyway. Like marriage etc.

              Problem voting against it because you think it's unneeded wont matter in a political ad. They'll show your face with some sad music and a good announcer saying how you voted against protecting our flag, lol.

              Politics, blah.

                Awesome stuff - and a great diversion.

                Got to add "flag burning" to the list with abortion, gay marriage ad nausea. Has anyone noticed eg.. the economy? Or is that up for discussion in August 2012?

                    Although I would never ever think about burning the US flag and would get really pissed if I saw someone doing it I do NOT want to see a constitutional amendment to ban flag burning.

                            Actually. I had to look this one up because I really didnt believe it.... low and behold. YOU ARE WRONG!

                            As per, Wikipedia. Which i think most would deem to be a reliable source...

                            http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_desecration

                            It is also illegal in Finland. I would venture to imagine if I looked further I could find more. Considering I found one the first place I looked.

                              Then take a look at the list of countries without universal health care as a right of citizenship. Us along with South Africa are the only developed nations without it. That's what we rank 20 something in the world in infant mortality despide being the world's wealthiest nation.

                              Thinking about such things makes me sick. Easier to watch TV and forget about how fucked up this country treats it's lower class. I wonder what's on.

                                  That's funny shit because burning the flag is EXACTLY how you are supposed to dispose of our flag when they get old.

                                    Style over substance.
                                    Bunch of idiots wasting time on shit like this instead of figuring out how to get us out of Iraq or balancing the budget or fixing our immigration policies or saving social security and medicare.

                                    That stuff isn't important, what's really important is stopping flag burning and making sure boys aren't allowed to kiss.

                                        :P Crazy. I should be able to burn the flag. I should be able to kick someone's ass if they burn my flag.

                                        I think ass-kicking should be a protected form of speech.
                                        Sleep well, and dream of large women.

                                          Bunch of idiots wasting time on shit like this instead of figuring out how to get us out of Iraq or balancing the budget or fixing our immigration policies or saving social security and medicare.

                                          That stuff isn't important, what's really important is stopping flag burning and making sure boys aren't allowed to kiss.
                                          Thank you this is all smoke screen shit to get the sheep to come out to vote. These are knee jerk type of subjects that get the uneducated right out to vote. People seem to forget if you dont get offended now and then you truly dont live in a free country.

                                            Yes, but in a specified manner and with ceremony...

                                                Actually there will be specific exceptions for the president since he is so good at desecrating the flag:

                                                  As per, Wikipedia. Which i think most would deem to be a reliable source...

                                                  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_desecration

                                                  It is also illegal in Finland. I would venture to imagine if I looked further I could find more. Considering I found one the first place I looked.
                                                  Did you read the wikipedia article or just see a bunch of countries listed and assume I was wrong. Most of those countries listed, if you read it, ban the burning of foreign national flags but not their own. Finland, yes, add them to the list of China, Cuba and Iran. Oh, to dispose of a worn out Finnish flag you should burn it or cut it to pieces small enough not to be recognizable as parts of the flag.

                                                    I'd be more worried about www.spp.gov than flag burning.

                                                        Within 14 days of this country passing a consitutional amendment barring the burning of the flag, all of you will be able to tune into CNN and see me on the steps of the Supreme Court... having an American Flag BBQ.

                                                        Of course, that assumes I havent moved out of this sorry excuse for a nation by then.

Would that lead to a constitutional crisis perhaps?

                                                                                That means that congress is going to spend 4 days on debate and voting of these bill amendments (just saw on Cspan they are voting on one of them and its dying) - one day for each flag that is burned - gee - and they just voted themselves a payraise????
