ARE YOU INSANE!?!
No, seriously, is this guy out of his fucking mind?
Well, first of all, the morons in Da House actually approved the Flag Burning Amendment. Yes, that's right, I said MORONS. BECAUSE IT'S FUCKING MORONIC.
But what is MORE MORONIC, is this fucking asshole:
Is he actually saying that the men and women who died on 9/11 all want you to make sure the flag never gets burned in protest? Is that fucking dickhead actually saying that? This dipshit from CALIFORNIA.
HOW DARE HE.
What, is he John Edwards now? Does he speak to these murdered people and get all their opinions? How DARE he use the dead to prop up his agenda like that. How DARE he PRESUME to speak for all those people who died. Who the fuck does he think he is! The fucking arrogance you have to have to pull that! My god, that is so offensive I can't even think straight anymore.
I wouldn't presume to speak for the living, let alone the dead. I wonder if what that jackass said pisses off any 9/11 victims' relatives as much as it offends me.
Or is he talking about the men and women who sifted through the rubble for months and months looking for bodies? Does he think that all they were thinking about was how they needed to have an amendment to ban flag burning?
Goddammit this is ridiculous, and a big fucking waste of time. Oh yeah, I feel so much safer at the prospect of not being able to burn the flag!
Fucktards.

My host and Blogger were having a spat yesterday and so I wasn't able to get this up online until this morning. Argh. Can't wait to use WordPress.
hmmm... I'm wondering though, could you please just tell us how you REALLY feel?
I agree with you that using the dead to promote his agenda is foul, foul, foul. I'd have tuned him out and his position for that reason alone.
Heh, you should have seen the first version...
Yet there are simpletons who will listen to his empassioned little wail and say "God Bless America! You are so right!"
Makes me sick to my stomach.
Word up, Moxie. A lot of people are out of their fucking minds. In a bad way.
My God Moxie, do you hold annual flag burning conventions or something? Never seen someone so worked up over this.
BTW, the House vote shouldn't come as a surprise, they pass this amendment pretty much every other year and it always dies in the Senate.
If you're looking for a good argument against this amendment, try and find some of Scalia's dissents in cases involving flag burning or campaign finance restrictions. Guy opposes them with about as much vigor as you.
Which actually makes me think, do you see the parallels between the two (burning and donating)? Do you agree with them?
He's no different from anyone else who has used the pain and suffering of 9/11 to promote their own agenda. They won't stop until we make them. Sadly, their propaganda works. The knee jerk reaction I still get when I explain that this war is bullshit is, "Don't you support the troops?" It makes me want to scream and send everyone who utters those words to be immediately deprogrammed.
No, Brash, I don't hold annual flag burning conventions. Actually, I don't think I have ever set fire to a flag in my life. I...woah, did you just faint?
But I support the right of anyone who wants to do so. Technically we're not suppost to wear the flag on clothing, but that didn't seem to stop Bush clothing his daughters in sweaters bearing the image. Do I care that someone puts the flag on a headband, or on the seat of their Harley, or paint their car with the colors? Not at all, and I think it's a HUGE waste of time and resources to be entertaining this kind of crap.
Not quite sure what the parallel between flag burning and campaign donations could be. Care to enlighten?
I can only imagine that this will cause a spree of flag burning, protesting the reaction against protest. Sheesh. And Moxie, you're absolutely right about the clothing angle. If this eventually passes, out of spite I'd also object to the flag being used in any kind of advertising, which is just as degrading.
BK, can we start with the happy little idiots who advertise their conservative blogs by using the image of the flag EVERYWHERE as though it makes them more patriotic or something? That is really annoying.
I think that we must be the Fucktard’s
Yesterday, out of the blue I figured out how much money I would need for retirement.
This required 2nd grade math and 15 minutes. I thought, "It can’t be right, this was to easy"
I checked the numbers with the .gov sites. I was exactly on target.
How come our Senate has taken 30 years to get it wrong?
But now they have it right and, Guess what…. we have a crisis.
This one bad apple theroy does not apply to our leaders.
It’s a barrel of bad apples with 1 or 2 good ones.
Congress will end this session soon, and enjoy their Vacations.
What did they really do?
If my child’s diaper is full of shit, I am not going to debate with my Wife and call her names and blame her.
I not going to blame my kid. I change the diaper.
With OUR COUNTRY in the state it is, they decide to have a pissing contest and debate stuff that does not really matter in a 1 to 10 scale of problems.
America has had this shitty diaper on for over 30 years.
Time to adopt New Parents.
We pay over 50% of our incomes back to them in Taxes. (Fed, State,Local,Sales,Etc)
This 2 Party system don’t work
Both sides are abusing us.
I am the Fucktard!
I must be drunk. Did I just read something John Richards that made sense? Who are you and what did you do with the real JR?
Look this is real simple: If the people you govern are happy with their country and your governence they will never bother to burn its symbol in protest any way. If you remove this simple litmus test you can continue with impunity and have a way to discredit such actions as unpatriotic. I think these guys know that it is possible that a whole bunch of flag burning may be on its way and are moving premtively again..In light of this move to stifle disenting voices, what they seek to brand as unpatriotic may become the most patriotic thing you can do even if it hurts your soul to have to do it.
Randy (Duke) Cunningham is the biggest freakin' genius ever! Guys, try it: hit the singles bars, find a woman on the dumb side, and be all like, "Ask the men and women who stood on top of the World Trade Center. Ask them and they will tell you: go home with me." Start a telemarketing company and end your pitch with, "Ask the men and women who stood on top of the World Trade Center. Ask them and they will tell you: change your long-distance carrier." Randy (Duke) Cunningham unearthed a goldmine! I think a tribute is called for. Moxie, ask the men and women who stood on top of the World Trade Center. Ask them and they will tell you: change your name to Moxie (Duke) Grrrl.
Something I've suggested elsewhere is to set a day for a National BYOF Bonfire. Let them know that if this passes, it will result in more burning flags than have ever been burned before.
Personally, I think it's the only patriotic thing to do. After all, United States Flag Code 36s 176(k) states. "The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem of display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning". This amendment, by reducing the flag to a symbol of our loss of free speach, would definitely make the flag "in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem of display".

Sorry bout the double click
This Flag issue is least of our Trouble but....
Pehaps WB has a good idea.
If people do gather to burn flags have to make sure you can't be hit with local laws such as incineration, polution, etc
Also one could "Weasle" around the Law if it is passed.
One could Burn a flag for proper disposal!
I WOULD want our Troops to know that this has NOTHING to do with our Love and support for them.
(This was the case in the 60's)
Ah, flag burning. You know, most people don't know this, but in Oregon, over 3.8 thousand flags are burned ever day. Every day! Good lord, just try to walk down a street near the U of O in Eugene and you'll get third degree burns as a smoldering piece of charred flag blows right into your face.
Meanwhile, gangs of teenagers are signing up to visit nursing homes to spend time with elderly World War II vets...and when they come in for the visit, what happens...that's right, they pull out a small cloth flag and a zippo lighter, while screeching in the face of the old man they have come to visit, "CHOKE ON THIS, FASCIST!" as they apply the flame to the flag.
But it gets worse. Much, much worse. At Portland soup kitchens, people were complaining that the Monday night mashed potatoes tasted funny. It turned out a cook in the kitchen was BURNING THE FLAG AND MIXING IT INTO THE POTATOES!
And...oh, this is just horrible. Each and every Fourth of July, Boy Scout troops from Oregon and Washington gather by the thousands where they build tents out of flags and then, at night, for the campfire, you guessed it, FLAGS. The red, white and blue, desecrated by Boy Scouts as they sing CAMPFIRE SONGS! And then they make Flag S'mores.
Oh wait, none of that happens. Who is burning flags? Where is it happening? And is it happening so often that we need to put a stop to it? I think the last time I saw a U.S. flag being burned was on TV...in footage of protesters in Iraq.
Good thing the federal government has tons of cash to spend on discussing, debating and voting on an issue of such importance.
