let’s burn a flag

with the house passing another version of the flag-burning amendment, it’s time, once again, for me to toast a flag for free speech. the vibe on the net is that this is going to be close in the senate.

i guess the first time i did this was sometime in 1991 or 1992 or so.

we’ve apparently solved all the great problems in our country, so this gets another shot of attention from the patriots in congress.

join me on this coming fourth of july, and toast a flag because good people have died to preserve your right (and mine) to do things that are unpopular and controversial and stupid.

i know the flag is a symbol of increasingly threatened american values and not the sole and vulnerable embodiment of those values. then again, i’m a minority.
