I'm saying that it's legal to do so. How would I know if some nut would stop you? Someone could kidnap you, chain you up in their basement and have their way with you for all I know. You can burn the flag, Bible, Koran, whatever and the law shouldn't stop you in most cases.

If you burn the flag and then toss it onto someone's head then I'd assume someone would stop you.

In many countries you can't burn the flag. There are limits to freedom of speech. This varies from country to country.

Ok say I'm going over to America to go see Bush speach, and I have a couple of buddies with me with a car full of American flags. And the guards at the American border notices this and thinks we're a bunch of patriots, and I tell that we're actually going over to burn the flags at a Bush rally. Will he let us through?

Why don't you test your example and then get back to us with the results. :roll:

Now back to the support the troops rally.

Perhaps. They just don't automatically let anyone cross the border. I've been denied entry into Canada for no reason. I somehow doubt that the freedom of speech applies to you when you haven't even officially entered the US yet too.

That's the way to support our troops.

Pretty difficult to show support for them without showing support for a needless and unpopular war and the murderers who pushed it through an unwilling UN...

Yeah, as opposed to the communist funded/supported bush-hate rally.

Yeah, screw that BS about supporting the troops - the real mission is getting Bush - right? :roll:

You people never cease to amaze me with your hatred.

Can you provide any evidence to prove that the Impeach Bush rally is funded by communists?

P.S. The cold war ended in the 1980s.

I support the troops in the sense that I want them to stage a military coup, abolish political parties, and enact some political reform.

Should we have kept to the status quo and killed 500,000 Iraqis a year instead under sanctions?

That was the number the left were tossing out before we invaded Iraq. So should we have let 100,000 live and let 1,000,000 die in their stead?

BTW, have you been to any of these "anti-war" rallies? I have - plenty of Communist literature there to collect. You are in deep denial if you don't think that it is part of this "movement".

1,000,000 die in their stead? where are you getting your facts from man? why don't you rename yourself RepublicanTalkingPoints, because it's quite clear you have no opinions other than those of the RNC.

I think people like you should stand for trial because you're denying them their basic rights in America. We need to have balance in this country. we need the anti-war people to keep the pro-war people in check or this country would cease to exist as we know it today.

leaving Iraq early is a bad idea, but they are entitled to their opinion and we should be grateful that they have the right to express it.

as for supporting terrorists, i do agree that many radical leftists in this country support terrorists and should be looked into. but thats a whole another matter
