Is this desecration?

Well, whoopee.

All of the four major candidates for U.S. Senate have gone on record in support of a constitutional amendment protecting the flag from "desecration." And just in time for the Fourth of July holiday, too.

For those who missed it, the Senate narrowly rejected just such an amendment last month. Senators actually voted 66-34 in favor of sending the amendment to state legislatures for ratification, but that was one vote short of the two-thirds majority needed.

The candidates for one of Tennessee's Senate seats - Republicans Ed Bryant, Bob Corker and Van Hilleary and Democrat Harold Ford Jr. - were all quick to say they would have voted in favor of the amendment, if given the chance. That's too bad. This would have been a great opportunity for any one of them to set himself apart from the rest by recognizing why our flag is really important.

Our flag is powerful not because of what it is, but what it symbolizes. It stands for all the freedoms that Americans have fought and died for over the years.

And yes, those freedoms include freedom of speech and freedom of expression. Those freedoms give people the right to say and do some things that others find disagreeable, or even repugnant. But restricting those freedoms does far more damage to the flag than any flag-burning protestors ever could.

Maybe the four candidates think that's a position too subtle for most voters to understand. After all, it's a lot easier to wrap oneself in the flag than it is to really celebrate the ideals it represents.

Happy Independence Day.

Did George Bush deface American flags in Vienna, Austria today?

<script type="text/javascript"> makeprofilelink("John Aravosis (DC)"); </script>John Aravosis (DC) · 6/21/2006 11:04:00 AM ET · L· <!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --> <script type="text/javascript">addthis_pub = 'aravosis'; addthis_options = 'favorites, email, digg, delicious, reddit, twitter, google, myspace, facebook, stumbleupon, technorati, live, more'; </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/152/addthis_widget.js"></script> <!-- AddThis Button END -->

UPDATE: The Associated Press caught Bush defacing American flags in 2003. The Democrats need to offer an amendment to the "flag burning amendment" that says that writing on the flag is also illegal. Then let the Republicans decide if they're going to vote that George Bush defaced the flag, or whether they're going to defend defacing the flag. Either way, it will make for good theater. I see massive cardboard displays on the Senate floor with this picture blown up really large.


A US embassy staffer in Vienna writes AMERICAblog and says he did. Reportedly, a slew of conservative Republican Bush supporters wanted to get Bush's autograph on US flags. And Bush signed them. Right on the flags. Kind of ironic right before Senate Republicans force us to debate "flag burning," again, simply because they have no more ideas left.

Now, this is just a report from one reader, though it's a reader I've had extensive dealings with and he's been trustworthy before. So, can someone with the media traveling with the president look into this further?

Just FYI, but here's what the US Code says about what Bush reportedly did:
TITLE 4 > CHAPTER 1 > § 8

§ 8. Respect for flag

(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.​
Then there is this (and this seems to apply on in DC, but still, that is where Mr. Bush lives):
TITLE 4 > CHAPTER 1 > § 3

§ 3. Use of flag for advertising purposes; mutilation of flag
Release date: 2006-03-20

Any person who, within the District of Columbia, in any manner, for exhibition or display, shall place or cause to be placed any word, figure, mark, picture, design, drawing, or any advertisement of any nature upon any flag, standard, colors, or ensign of the United States of America; or shall expose or cause to be exposed to public view any such flag, standard, colors, or ensign upon which shall have been printed, painted, or otherwise placed, or to which shall be attached, appended, affixed, or annexed any word, figure, mark, picture, design, or drawing, or any advertisement of any nature; or who, within the District of Columbia, shall manufacture, sell, expose for sale, or to public view, or give away or have in possession for sale, or to be given away or for use for any purpose, any article or substance being an article of merchandise, or a receptacle for merchandise or article or thing for carrying or transporting merchandise, upon which shall have been printed, painted, attached, or otherwise placed a representation of any such flag, standard, colors, or ensign, to advertise, call attention to, decorate, mark, or distinguish the article or substance on which so placed shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $100 or by imprisonment for not more than thirty days, or both, in the discretion of the court. The words “flag, standard, colors, or ensign”, as used herein, shall include any flag, standard, colors, ensign, or any picture or representation of either, or of any part or parts of either, made of any substance or represented on any substance, of any size evidently purporting to be either of said flag, standard, colors, or ensign of the United States of America or a picture or a representation of either, upon which shall be shown the colors, the stars and the stripes, in any number of either thereof, or of any part or parts of either, by which the average person seeing the same without deliberation may believe the same to represent the flag, colors, standard, or ensign of the United States of Americ​

doc troll, a/k/a Mrs Mims, you are one truly obsessed stupid fucking idiot. Each and every one of your posts is nothing but hate and anger, get a fucking clue already. Obsession is not healthy, you don't need to spam every thread you see. Get a job or donate your time, it will do wonders for your incredibly low self esteem.

Road, happy 4th my cyber friend. :toast:

Wishing you and yours a happy and safe holiday weekend.

And may you get to see if that chick has tan lines. (OK, that may be a bit much, but you gotta aim high).

Willie99 - enjoy 48 hours off for the highlighted statement above.

People read Doc's posts? I just skim over them. Once you've read one of his asinine posts you've pretty much read them all.

Wil you are DEAD WRONG here!!! The thread was started to wish everyone a happy holiday. By the third post Doc soiled it with his "THE LAST 4TH under Nazi Control" BULLSHIT. And you give Willie a TO??? I'll take 48 hours as well. And I'll return when Willie returns. IF HE RETURNS!
