This could be convenient for you guys as long as you can schedule it close to your book burnings.

Exactly. Goldwater is dead. Really dead. Unfortunately.

I think there is a revival with Ron Paul, albeit he is more peaceful than Goldwater.

I will never forgot how Republicans initially treated him. They treated him with scorn.

Yup, like a total nutjob.

The problem with Paul is -- he is still too much of a Republican (for some of us). It's hard to put it any other way (and my own lack of political acumen may be the cause - I am an engineer, not a pundit, but I try).

Disclaimer: by, "Republican", I don't mean everyone who places themselves among that fold -- I mean this current excuse for "Republican". They have had and have garnered my vote, at times, in the past. Now? Not very likely.

As a footnote - I agree with you about how they treated him. I'll also go out on a limb and say that I don't think he'd have made a bad POTUS. I trend libertarian, though many here may not believe that.

Anyone want to join me?

Sure, you have a right to do it, but you haven't told us why you have a desire to do this. Is there any rational reason behind it or do you want to burn a Mexican flag simply out of spite for Mexicans?

Well, is there any reason to boycott Arizona?

No one should ever burn an American flag.

If the the only way I can prove it to you is by burning another nation's flag, irony not withstanding, so be it.
