The conservatives on the Supreme Court ruled (Citizens United) that you can basically buy an election, that unlimited political spending by corporations is protected as "free speech". But some of these same folks would deny the free speech rights of a person burning the flag in protest. That's sick twisted logic!
Who on the supreme court would "deny the free speech rights of a person burning the flag in protest" ?
but I wonder if some of those doing so believe, not that this is an awful country, but a wonderful country that has made some awful choices.
I agree with the bold by the way, but I am also saying there are a lot of flag burners who are true terrorists. How do you deal with them? I don't know.
I don't think you deal with them by attacking freedom of expression. Most recent home-grown terrorists have flown under the radar. They certainly haven't broadcast their intentions by burning a flag.

So why didn't Hillary buy the election? She spent almost double what Trump spent.
I have been polite to you, and I don't appreciate it when you call me a liar.
good argument, but the bold makes you sound like a drama queen.
I'm sorry, I edited my remark before you posted your reply, as it seemed "framing" was a more accurate term. It was not my intention to accuse you of lying. However, to imply that the primary objection to flag burning is one of safety seems a bit less than realistic.
As for the bold, that's how I usually highlight the portion of a quote that I want to address. Do you have a better suggestion?

Luckily all of those who did vote for that are now gone but I certainly wouldn't be surprised that if the case was heard today that the vote would not be unanimous now either.
