Reply #13: The flag as a symbol is just that a symbol [View All]

[Donna Zen]

Changing the constitution to ban the burning of the flag--a rightful means of protest--is ridiculous. They drag this puppy out from time to time, and since they are hell-bent on morphing liberal with non-patriotic, it wouldn't surprise me to see it on the campaign trail again.

Remember Dukakis?

Nevertheless, Mr. Z scoffed when I mentioned this the other day. Coming from an S.D.Ser, he said: flag burning is the dumbest form of protest that there is. No one's going to listen to anyone that burns the flag. Your message is lost, gone.

I have to say; he has a point.

I'm still on the fence about the entire matter, but considering the bastards use and abuse this wedge issue, I'm leaning Mr. Z.
