They do, but the 1st amendment was intended to protect unpopular speech, and in flag burning is considered speech then so is flag waving.

Yes, we know this is just the usual Democrat effort to divide and create hostility to solidify and motivate its base.

But at the rate things are going the Dems will be burning books before long ...

They are already burning history books by draping their flag over the Republican Party. It is best to put the flag the Democrats hoisted in the sixties in defiance to the Republican passed Civil rights and Voting rights acts. Why on Earth would a Republican elected official try to save their buts by defending their bigotry.

A well worded law to remove the flag stating its;’ history while relegating it to Civil War sights and museums would force Democrats to vote for reality.

What would a Republican Sikh Woman have any reason to run defense for a Democrat symbol of defiance? Why give the Democrats a victory.

As I stated in post 47, I get tired of conservatives being labeled as racists holding this flag in text books that my college kids bring home, and never is it stated that it belonged to demorats!

I particularly don't care if the flag stays or goes, but I want the history of it to be correct - the history of slavery belongs to the Demorat Party.
