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.

Our government loves keeping company like that.

Take a look at the list of countries that still have the death penalty.

Quote:
* Afghanistan
* Antigua and Barbuda
* Bahamas
* Bahrain
* Bangladesh
* Barbados
* Belarus
* Belize
* Botswana
* Burundi
* Cameroon
* Chad
* China (People's Republic)
* Comoros
* Congo (Democratic Republic)
* Cuba
* Dominica
* Egypt
* Equatorial Guinea
* Eritrea
* Ethiopia
* Gabon
* Ghana
* Guatemala
* Guinea
* Guyana
* India
* Indonesia
* Iran
* Iraq
* Jamaica
* Japan
* Jordan
* Kazakhstan
* Korea, North
* Korea, South
* Kuwait
* Kyrgyzstan
* Laos
* Lebanon
* Lesotho
* Liberia
* Libya
* Malawi
* Malaysia
* Mongolia
* Nigeria
* Oman
* Pakistan
* Palestinian Authority
* Philippines
* Qatar
* Rwanda
* St. Kitts and Nevis
* St. Lucia
* St. Vincent and the Grenadines
* Saudi Arabia
* Sierra Leone
* Singapore
* Somalia
* Sudan
* Swaziland
* Syria
* Taiwan
* Tajikistan
* Tanzania
* Thailand
* Trinidad and Tobago
* Uganda
* United Arab Emirates
* United States
* Uzbekistan
* Vietnam
* Yemen
* Zambia
* Zimbabwe

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

48 states had the ban before the supreme court overturned it in 1989. if thats its only obstacle then it will become an amendment.

It's just a vote getter and draws attention away from real issues like the war and immigration. It can pass all they want but it will never get by the supreme court.

Although I hate the thought of some jackass burning the flag seeing the right to do it taken away is a bit unnerving.

I like to look at the positive side of things... It's nice to live in a historically significant time, to be eyewitnesses to the decline of the great American empire is a bit of an honour, in a tragic sort of way.

No, of course the Supreme Court will not strike down or ignore the amendment. They are all in this together. What needs to happen is the PEOPLE need to ignore congress AND the court and say enough is enough.

Yeah, you put it well. Its an honor to watch what was at once and still could be a great country implode.

For an amendment, don't they need like 2/3rds vote? I just don't see how they could drum up enough democrats to do this.

Just saw the representatives of the group that is pushing this in congress - flag burning has risen 33% this year - omg - from 3 cases last year in the US to 4 this year

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????

The only reason why people keep burning the US flag is because the americans
care about it....They know you all get your panties in the clinch whenever you
see your flag being burnt. I never see people burn English, Dutch, German flags.
It happened maybe once or twice and when they realised that nobody cared
they just didn't bother about it anymore.....

You are right .

All the latest propose laws , amendments and other legal horseshit have been phrased and put forward to embarass the democrats .. and it is easy to do ...

Now, the dems want to start embracing the cults and religions, showing that they also are religious ... they have no fucking balls ...

The true strength of a counties confidence in who it is, is the ability to take critisism.

Burning your flag is the least of your worries.

We would be upset if the Scottish were not burning the Union Jack.
