Old Glory, free speech and high school civics
Just in time for the Fourth of July the Senate narrowly defeated -- by one vote -- a bill that would make the desecration of the flag a crime. Thank heavens cooler head prevailed. It's pathetic that some senators, angling for success in mid-term elections, want to curtail one of the great red-white-and-blue freedoms of this country: free speech.
I suppose they've forgotten their high school civics lessons. Remember: I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Some information gathered:
Get down on your knees and thank God or whom ever is politically correct to worship these days. The flag burning amendment failed in the Senate!
The scary part of this is that it failed by just one vote. That means sixty-six of our Senators (out of 100) voted in favor of an amendment that would limit your right to freedom of expression.
Sixty-four Senators wanted to use the United States Constitution to limit your freedoms.
Yes, I am disgusted when Old Glory is desecrated .... but you are free to express yourself without Constitutional limits.
