Flag Burning Bill You've Got To Be Shitting Me
Is Congress really that insane that they've got to waste time trying to get a CONSTITUIONAL AMENDMENT to BAN Flag Burning?!?! How out of touch with reality can you be?
It's not like I'm looking to run out and burn a flag. It's disrespectful, and not something I'd do. But it IS a way that some people express their frustration and disgust with the country and its politics. It's an act of defiance and protest and yeah FREE FUCKING SPEECH. So note to congress: spend time on some real issues:
- An Exit Plan for Iraq
- Any plan for Iran, Korea and Egypt
- Some sort of plan for Saudi Arabia (they hate us you know! A ton of their citizens are crossing the border to drive car bombs at us and Iraqi's how about some sort of diplomatic addressing of this.)
- What the fuck will happen to Soldiers when they RETURN from Iraq (might be a good idea to stash some money aside to actually TAKE CARE of them when they get back)
- The WORKING poor who work 2 jobs and still cant afford basic living
- Health Care - Time to deal with this one way or another
- Social Security - Privatize it, overhaul it, who cares, just do something
or... We can debate burning the flag..... You tell me what's more important.... And I don't care which side of the aisle you sit on, demo or repub, libertarian or 'don't give a fuck' there are issues that our country faces which that are simply universal.
