ingozi rated 30 months ago- No rock is permanent. There are always those who will chip away slowly but surely at it - as do the airbags in our government who actually spend time considering stupid proposals, and then come to the conclusion that the constitution just needs somehow to be different. Trying to make flag desecration illegal is one of those proposals making its way time and again into our Administration. It will not suprise me if it finally becomes law; so many specks of dust have been chipped away at the rock we always thought our country was. But make no mistake, enough little specks of dust can certainly weaken the whole altogether and sooner than later chunks will fall and then everything crumbles to the ground.

- This is a truly admirable organization of veterans who understand what patriotism in the U.S. really means: love of people and liberty, and reverence for our Constitution.

It is seldom a good tactic, however. The US flag is a symbol of the right, like it or not. As long as it flies over the prisons at Guantanimo and Abu Ghraib, it means little to me. As for the pledge... well, do YOU think we have liberty and justice for all? AMERPIE)

- Restricting freedom of speech is a demonstration of fascism, plain and simple. I have never and likely will never burn an American flag. I proudly fly one in front of my own house, because I do love this land of ours. But that's far from the point. We've arrived at a point in American history when our ideals and freedoms are being threatened by those who purport to protect them. Don't think America could ever become an unfree nation? I challenge you to think for a moment about that which we all often take for granted - our precious liberties - and imagine life without them. Can we possibly look the other way while politicians jeopardize that which we value most? We are a nation at a crossroads, clearly. Do we really want our children growing up in a society that is less free and less tolerant than ours? Don't think it couldn't happen. And don't think it won't, if we just stand by silently.
