2. The noose is being tightened around the Bush administration.
Worship of the flag is a high calling of this no-nothing set of history makers.
Resistance to this concept is, paradoxically, a very important part of protecting the republic.
There is a race between the rolling attack from the fascist elements and the awakening of the American public to the disaster.

3. How about penalties for politicans wrapping themselves in the flag?
I could support that one.

Or what about that super bowl show with Chris Rock grabbing his crotch while draped in the American flag.

I found that 100 times more offensive than Janet Jacksons booby.

4. How about a republican porn star wrapped in a flag?

6. That's a disgraceful use of the flag.
I'd rather she appear in nothing at all...

5. Flag amendment would affect more than just the protestors
How about those that let their flag get tattered and frayed?
How about those that display the flag in inclement weather?
How about schools that fail to display the flag when school is open?
How about when the flag is not properly display in processions?
