69. Oh please, stop with the gratuitous smears friend
I do not think ". . .expressing hatred for America openly is a winning tactic...." and you know it, you're just using a smear tactic like that because you know you have nothing, absolutely nothing, to back your happy ass up with. Poor form, and certainly not a good way to conduct a debate. But from you, not suprising.

By the by, if you are expressing this much gratuitous anger at people like myself and other posters who support the First Amendment fully, how much more pissed you must be at the Supreme Court who declared that flag burning is a form of expression fully protected by the First Amendment.

What is it that you hate about the First Amendment? Why do you wish to see it limited? I'm sorry pal, but this is our Constitution we're talking about here, and the Founding Fathers in all of their wisdom made criticizing our government a sacred part of our country. I for one, and many many others don't want to limit our ability to criticize the government. If that means having to put up with the occaissonal BBQed flag, so be it. It is much like having to put up with the Neo Nazis when they march, you don't have to like it, but it is their right to do so. That is what makes this country great friend, and here you are, wanting to tear that down because YOU are attached to a symbol, not your country.
