Quoting from the link:

"The Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that
violations of the Flag Code are protected
First Amendment Rights for political speech."

True. But abuse a US flag in front of me and I reserve the right to
go temporarily insane... if you get my gist ;-)

America: Land of the Free, Because of the Brave

I'm with you there - Bro. If they don't like living here - then GET THE HELL
OUT. No one is kissing their ass to come here if they did - OR kissing their
ass to stay here - if already a citizen.

That - if I'm not mistaken - "used" to be "TREASON" - punishable by Death?
It still should be.

You are mistaken. Treason is defined in the Constitution:

"Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War
against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and
Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the
Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in
open Court."

Playing around with a flag does not qualify. However, disclosing the
name of a secret intelligence operative in time of war does (as aid to
our enemies).


Yeah, but their was only ONE witness. :-]

They're witness was alone? Perhaps there looking for more
witnesses, now Dimmie?


Wow. Twice in one sentence.

"Their" is correct both times, idiot.

Does that make you twice as wrong as I was? Or does that make my
choice of beers good (Sam Addams), and you still as stupid as ever... as
usual.

You really are a dim bulb, Dimbulb.
