If American flag burning okay, what about bibles and koran?

[kaz]

I'm proving a point jerk ass. When ever we talk hate crime laws righties are quick to say "what they are thinking doesn't matter " . The act is the act .

Well the act of Boy Scouts burning a flag and some hippee commie burning a flag are the same . Right ?

Sir, the more you post, the clearer it becomes who is the "jerk ass".

No, properly disposing of a flag and burning it in protest are as different as night and day. The fact you don't understand this is sad. If you do understand the difference, then this makes you a troll and/or a liar.

That "difference " you speak of is exactly why it's covered by freedom of speech .

It's not the action of burning a flag, it's the motive of burning a flag that upsets people .

No shit, and yes, it's covered by freedom of speech.

The one case where there should be consequences is when a non-citizen does it. Their asses should be run out of the country on the spot

I would agree that a person has the right as long as they don't break laws by stealing the items and they respect fire codes when they choose to destroy their own property. However, some want the burning of korans or Mexican flags to be considered hate crimes. Many have called for bans on burning korans, drawing cartoons of allah or making videos about Islam by claiming they incite terrorist attacks. It's the people exercising free speech that get blamed when lunatics kill over being offended.

We are always told to be tolerant. Good advice. However, it's clear that we have too many groups who are never asked or expected to be tolerant of others. Obama isn't out there telling groups not to judge all police officers. He isn't out there asking people not to judge all Trump supporters.

Point of the thread was to discuss the vast difference in how different groups are treated.

This thread proves the point they can not even admit here they are hypocrites and liars. When the Florida Preacher wanted to burn the Koran Obama threatened Federal legal action against him.

Yes they are all combustible and if you own it you have the right to burn it.

Jones should have stood his ground. Threat or even charge or not, Obama would have lost in the Supreme Court.

What kind of Federal legal action was "threatened"?

Not quite. Clearly President Obama bowed to terrorists. How much pressure the Feds put on Florida to stop Jones remains to be seen.

He did interject himself into the matter, which he often does when it involves Muslims or minorities. He does not stand up for other groups, like police officers or Christians. He did not condemn the riots over the election and simply implied that they should keep it up. He didn't plead with BLM and other groups not to judge all police officers and simply stated that we have a problem with police. His words encouraged more of the same violence because he didn't speak against it and merely asked for more sympathy for those behind the violence. Funny that no one can say we have a problem with rioters or a problem with Muslims without the leftist leaders coming down on them.

Maybe they're just disposing of an unserviceable flag? If the ignoramuses who thought they were desecrating the US flag only knew that burning is the recommended method of properly disposing of one.

Veterans groups also do this. So much that libs don't know. Can't believe they thought the boy scouts were doing it for fun or protest.

I think burning any of those thins is stupid and disrespectful unless you are freezing to death and then I think you burn what you have to to survive.

Nevertheless, everyone has a first amendment right to do so
