Burnin' Flags Still OK!

OK, I'm not a big flag burner, but you know, that's not what this is about. Just like the gay marriage amendment, this is about Republicans trying to passify their conservative base before an election. And to choose to try to codify what basically amounts to an attack on free speech is a deplorable way to pander to your base. Maybe I'm overstating, but it seems to me the consequences of that could mean more restrictions down the road. Slippery slope and all. Not a good scenario.

What pisses me off is it was probably 5 unelected a-holes in a bar on Pennsylvania Ave who decided to push this amendment as a pander move. And they almost got away with it. They were only one vote shy of allowing to go to state legislatures for approval. (I think Rockefeller's out sick.)

Coming soon, constitutional amendment to ban dog defecation on city streets. Sure we have laws that require owners to clean up, but why stop there?? While that steaming pile of poo is on the ground, it is an affront to every Americans' nostrils.

Down with Dog Doo!
