Thread: House OKs flag desecration amendment

I know this is a little off the subject but didn't some people start burning the flag or something at that protest in California? I know some people maybe even some illegals or even people who don't like the US would do something like this to the our FLAG so here is the story:

Updated: 3:59 p.m. ET June 22, 2005WASHINGTON - The House on Wednesday approved a constitutional amendment that would give Congress the power to ban desecration of the American flag, a measure that for the first time stands a chance of passing the Senate as well.

By a 286-130 vote â€â€

It's about time.

Can you believe that 60% voted NO?????
Vote in that poll please!!!
RR

I just voted but it's still 60% NO....WHO IN THE WORLD ARE THESE PEOPLE? Not Americans.....more proof.....we need to:

DEPORT ALL ALIENS AND FLAG-BURNERS!!

I was suprised too, when I saw how many people voted no. What is wrong with this country! Vote!

I would imagine the ACLU was well-organized on this one and must have their "troops" dialing in from heavily populated areas perhaps?

Perhaps National Lawyers Guild as well?

Perhaps Southern Poverty Law Center too?

Perhaps the Communist Party?

Perhaps....other subversive organizations trying to make us a shameful third world country?

Perhaps people who honestly believe this is an expression of free speech against the government?

For those who may think this is an expression of free speech against the government, hear this:

No one is more upset with the United States Government right now than I and millions of other Americans.

But, the Flag of the United States belongs to the People of the United States, not the Government of the United States. When you burn our flag, you are burning US...not the Government. In fact, I think many in Government get a kick out of watching people burn the American Flag.

Our country is falling apart as I type because our Government has been infiltrated through appointment and election by a large number of enemies to the people of the USA; who are working at cross-purposes with the survival of the United States and the American People as a NATION.

AT NO TIME IN OUR HISTORY HAS THE MEANING AND SYMBOLISM OF THE AMERICAN FLAG BEEN MORE PRECIOUS.

As Americans, when we protect the American Flag, we are protecting 250,000,000 Americans and their Survival!!
