... where's my flag shirt
One vote.
66 - 34
First, the Flag Amendment didn't pass.
Politicians have to be held to a higher standard than this. We have so many more pressing issues to deal with and this Congress just ignored them. It felt flag burning, gay marriage, and the inheritance tax was more important than immigration, spiraling debt, or inequalities among poor people. They spent time debating these things. Gay marriage, they spent at least a day on this. Seriously. You want this amendment with the Bill of Rights, the Civil Rights Amendment, and other things of that nature? We don't want gays to marry because people might marry their pets? First, so what? Second, wouldn't it cut down on undesirable children if Farmer John was married (lovingly) to his goat?
The flag is merely a symbol of our country, and should be respected, but free speech is an embodiment of our country, and should be revered. - someone [Yahoo News].
The worst part about all this is there is no gridlock. They could pass something like that, but they choose not to. Are you better off then five years ago? I sure as hell know I'm not and I am pretty sure it isn't because of gays, inheritance taxes or some one burning the flag. Wait, maybe burning the flag is what is causing global warming. The repub's are geniuses, I'm voting down the ticket for them.
Please, for the love of whatever you think is holy -- vote the republicans out of office in 06'. If you are a republican voter, vote libertarian.
