Should it be illegal or legal to burn the American flag?
73%Illegal
19%Legal
8%I donβt know
This poll is from MSNBC.
There must be something wrong with me. I am a Veteran and I voted for legal.
You voted for legal because you understand the freedom of speech...it's all about freedom of speech and it should be legal. But, if you're looking at it from a patriotic, corporation viewpoint, you don't want people in the company trashing the company logo and you would hope Americans wouldn't do it...but what if someone who is not American burns one? It's not their "team." Regardless, it falls in line with kneeling for the National Anthem or any other "protest." Unfortunately the U.S. makes all kinds of hideous decisions, like separating families, incarcerating the Japanese and the Supreme Court ruling that it's ok to neuter the retarded. Blindly following anything seems to bring up thoughts of...religion
Many, myself included, vets, just know it is a constitutional right.
The reason you voted the way you did is because you truly know what freedom means...it is not the flag or kneeling during the Star Spangled Banner...it is that we can...
My dad didn't like it, but he would have died to defend anyone's right to do it...US Army 1944-1975...
I don't like it either. But its still my right. And I don't want others to loose the right.
Its just a symbol.
I didn't vote, but I agree with you.
USA & ARNG '88 - '99
I have a friend, 10 years USCG, hates the idea of banning burning the flag.
He's seventy and left an E-7
