Obama's many mistakes -- which is worst

[Franzl]

Of the things listed above that are actually true...I approve of all of them.

Nice to know you approve of Obama.  I would expect nothing less from his many fanboys here.  But like I said I was looking for input from those who have not sampled the kool aid.

I approve of Obama's performance up until now...but I'd hardly call myself a "fanboy".

Not hating America as much as rabid right wingers and Coburn supporters?

(My worst habit is feeding trolls and trogs

Last I checked Republicans didn't want to burn the flag, surrender to the enemy or wage class warfare on the most productive members of society.

As to being a troll. I suppose I am since anyone who disagrees with liberals here is considered a troll.

Supporting a ban on flag burning is by definition clearly un-American, as it violates the First Amendment of the Constitution. Not very hard to understand, really.

Sorry, Franzl.  I'm going to say that supporting the ban is wrong, but a Constitutional Amendment banning flag burning doesn't violate the Constitution because it changes the Constitution, much like supporting the 21st Amendment wasn't un-American because it violates the 18th Amendment.

That being said, it's still a stupid idea.  It's not like there are enough cases of it to justify an Amendment, and even if there were, far worse desecrations to the flag happen every day.  Anyone else want to ban American flag underwear?  Think where that ends up!  Talk about desecration!

Well sure...if was a poor choice of words....an amendment to the Constitution can't be unconstitutional....but it definitely goes against the spirit of the Constitution....and is a restriction on freedom of expression...whether it's considered unconstitutional per se or not.

You're right though.
