Senate to debate "Flag Protection Amendment" just before the Fourth of July

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, (R-Tenn.) today announced that the Senate will debate the “Flag Protection Amendment” in the end of June.

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, (R-Tenn.) needs to go screw himself.

It's sad that a bunch of bleeding hearts think that flag burning is protected under the First Amendment.

It's sad that a bunch of bleeding hearts think that flag burning is protected under the First Amendment.  Flag burning laws were never hurting anyone for decades when all but one state had them on the books.  It's sad that it took a commie who caused city wide vandalism to pervert our national pride by saying we have the right to burn the flag.

Who exactly does it hurt when a person who is pissed off burns an American flag?  Would you prefer that the person took out his or her anger in a more violent manner?

If Americans' patriotism is so weak or if their feelings are so sensitive that they consider it necessary to write a ban on flag burning right into the foundation of their nation's law in order to protect... something, perhaps they should consider that this might be merely a symptom of a greater problem.

Any takers?

I think this amendment is a symptom of certain (ahem) shortcomings on the part of its proponents.
