Thank God this fascist-friendly constitutional amendment was defeated again.
Did you know that they ban flag-burning in Cuba too? North Korea and China too and I wouldn't be surprised that most of the the Islamist-fascist Middle East countries frown on flag-burners, in fact they probably shoot flag-burners on sight and ask questions laters.
It'll be a sad day for America if this country ever passes an Ammendment to outlaw flag-burning. Sad day for free-speech!
To think that there have been only four instances of flag burning or vandalism this year and 13 instances in 2005. WOW! Our Stars and Stripes really needs protecting from these massive mobs!
