“The difference is excuting a murderer is because the murderer killed someone. And the flag burner just put your panties in a wad.”
You realize that’s an argument for a lesser punishment, but not for decriminalization, right?
Despite your use of a common DLDT (dishonest liberal debate tactic) it is not only I who object to flag burning. Millions of Americans share my position, and that should place this conduct in the same category with shouting “Fire.”
This conduct is so egregiously scurrilous that it is unreasonable to expect decent people to remain patient and tolerant, just as it is unreasonable to expect people in a crowded theater to remain calm when faced with the danger of burning to death.
u don’t seem tom understand it is NOT an argument for a lesser punishment. It is the distinction between harming another person and not harming a person. Burning a flag might piss you off, but it does no harm to your person or property unless the flag is stocking out of your gas tank.
You are proposing the government give license to physically attack another person even hough it is not self defense.
You can shout fire if you want and there is a fire. If you mean in a crowded theatre, it is not analogous to flag burning since in one case you are warning people to safe their lives and in the other you are just throwing a temper tantrum.
Just because you are not understanding doesn’t make me a liberal. It is a cheap desperate attempt to win an unsinkable argument. If you want to add further attack, send me to DU or one of the other sites. that’s what the real faux-bullies try to do when they lose and argument.
