Keep your laws off my marinated ribeyes!

[FunBobbyMucha]

Taking a page from the Repug playbook, which suggests that the legalization of pot will lead to a nation of heroin addicts, and that gay marriage will lead, quite logically, to people marrying their domestic pets and appliances, I would like to offer a mirrored objection to one of their favorite wedge issues:

Flag burning. If they tell you and I that we can't burn our American flag, do you think they'll stop there? No. Soon, you won't be able to burn Time magazine if a flag is depicted on the cover, and then you won't be able to let the cover of "Born in the U.S.A." touch the ground, lest it be destroyed. It won't stop there, soon anything that is red, white, and blue, including tints and shades, will be constitutionally protected from open flame! Then, before you know it, a proud American will have to look his son in the eye and say, sadly, "Sorry, Timmy,"--even if the kid's name is Kyle he'll HAVE TO call him Timmy!--"See the pink tinge of these steaks? We can't barbecue them. Those dunderheads up in Washington DC won't let us." And that boy will grow up in an America very different from the one FunBobby Mucha grew up in. I say to you, fellow DU'ers, as a proud American, pass the A1 sauce!
