Had Congress actually declared war, those people would have been legally gunned down as the enemy on domestic soil.

You must be too young to remember the turbulent sixties and lefties behaving badly back then, too.

Hint: It wasn't the "College Republicans" burning the flag. Don't let your professors or barista tell you otherwise.

What's your point?

"Police say that a Clinton supporter lit a flag on fire near a group of Trump supporters and attacked a man near the Clinton-Kaine event downtown Saturday afternoon............Sturman crossed the street and walked into the middle of the group of Trump supporters........The Trump supporters attempted to put out the fire, which “enraged” Sturman. Sturman then threw a Trump supporter to the ground and attempted to jump on top of him. Bystanders alerted nearby officers, and police removed Sturman and placed him under detention........"

Yet another example of the totalitarian left.

Video included in the article.

Police: Clinton Supporter Lights Flag On Fire, Attacks Trump Supporter « CBS Pittsburgh
I support their right to freedom of speech and expression by burning the flag but when they light themselves on fire, I'd laugh my behind off in tears.

I don't approve of flag-burning either, but you do not have the right to assault someone because he is exercising his right to free speech. His method of expression is protected; yours is not.

Wrong. Many support their right to do that but are disgusted by it. Aren't you?

If not, why not.

I considered them thoughtless, selfish, hateful people playing at being "revolutionaries".

Uncaring = Hallmark. Well done.

Be willing to accept, like an adult, your subsequent arrest, lawsuit or good, old fashioned ass whipping as you would deserve it if you assault somebody.

Another thing they have in common.
Actually, the right wing and ISIS have the same goals. They both wish to drive a wedge between Islam and the rest of the world through fear. Your contribution has been noted. But, if you want to worry about a constitutionally protected action then have at it. Your displeasure with our Constitution is also noted.

I'd say ISIS and their is doing a jam-up job by themselves. Their track record in Europe is damn ipressive, if I say so myself.

And their just starting.

Wait until they reach varsity status.

This consevative supports our Constitution, 2nd Amendment included unlike many progressives.
