If Government Won’t Protect The Flag

Somebody has to teach these assholes what the Flag stands for.

This is why we can’t have nice things, thanks you liberal fucks.

Almost immediately after the ruling was made, President Bush proposed a solution: a constitutional amendment that would exempt flag-desecration as protected speech. But the legislative branch struck first and passed the Flag Protection Act of 1989, which made it criminal to desecrate the flag, regardless of motive. Protesters responded quickly by burning flags, in an attempt to get the issue back to the Supreme Court. Almost exactly a year after Texas v. Johnson, their wish came true. In United States v. Eichman, which was decided exactly 25 years ago, on June 11, 1990, the Supreme Court once again ruled that burning the flag was an example of constitutionally protected free speech.

Further attempts to protect the flag with an amendment were batted about in the years that followed, but they never went anywhere.

  1. Negative actions oftentimes have negative consequences!
    I was on the Cleveland Vets Memorial Mall when that skanky lesbo tried to burn the flag and I was there when this itty bitty little thing ran out of the background and shattered her jaw for lighting a Bic….negative actions HAD negative consequences that fine afternoon!
