I actually think flag burning helps identify what Anarchy is as a world view. I believe it is a primal tangible visual that at root level causes one to deeply contemplate the concepts of chaos versus order.
I think it helps us make our conservative case without saying a word
While I strongly disagree with flag burning, I don’t think it should be illegal. Besides, there is great conservative PR value in having a bunch of Leftwing, America-hating lunatics burning the flag.
What do we do about flag burning?
Twenty public lashes sounds about right to me.
All it took was Republican in the White House for the flag burners to return because we all know who they really are and we all know they had a soulmate in the White House for eight years.
America “acted stupidly” for eight years. Now, it’s getting itself back on course so, naturally, here come the roaches needing to be stomped.
At least Donald Trump’s tweet about flag burning brought pictures of idiots being idiotic into the media, and they weren’t Republicans! I think the more the mid-western working Democrats see those Black Lives Matter protests, the more they question their Democrat affiliation. So I am glad they are allowed to burn the flag. Shows everyone who they are!
The way I see it, if you have an American flag, it is not really your flag. It is America’s flag and you have to treat it with respect according to American rules.
Flag History: (maybe not the best source but does give some insite)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag
In antiquity, field signs or standards were used in warfare that can be categorized as vexilloid or ‘flag-like’. Examples include the Sassanid battle standard Derafsh Kaviani, and the standards of the Roman legions such as the eagle of Augustus Caesar’s Xth legion, or the dragon standard of the Sarmatians; the latter was let fly freely in the wind, carried by a horseman, but judging from depictions it was more similar to an elongated dragon kite than to a simple flag.
During the High Middle Ages flags came to be used primarily as a heraldic device in battle, allowing more easily to identify a knight than only from the heraldic device painted on the shield. Already during the high medieval period, and increasingly during the Late Middle Ages, city states and communes such as those of the Old Swiss Confederacy also began to use flags as field signs. Regimental flags for individual units became commonplace during the Early Modern period.
During the peak of the age of sail, beginning in the early 17th century, it was customary (and later a legal requirement) for ships to carry flags designating their nationality;[1] these flags eventually evolved into the national flags and maritime flags of today. Flags also became the preferred means of communications at sea, resulting in various systems of flag signals; see, International maritime signal flags.
Use of flags outside of military or naval context begins only with the rise of nationalist sentiment by the end of the 18th century; the earliest national flags date to that period, and during the 19th century it became common for every sovereign state to introduce a national flag.[citatio
This subject has been exhausted. Given how hard the MSM grilled Hillary during the campaign re her 2005 anti-flag burning bill, what’s left to say? Sometimes it was almost painful watching reporters hound Hillary with flag burning questions. They just wouldn’t let up!
Time to move on; it’s all been said.
Just not that one. It's the redneck ethnic flag.
