Breaking: Old Glory Endorses Hillary Clinton

[tk2kewl]

"I wholeheartedly support Hillary Clinton for President of the united states!," the flag said today. "Secretary Clinton is the only Democratic candidate for president that understands how sacred and holy I am. I fear the pinko liberal commie mob of Sanders supporters not only wish to burn down the corrupt establishment, but may try to take me with it! I mean just listen to them constantly talking about Berning stuff. I certainly don't want to feel the Bern!," Old Glory continued. "Only Secretary Clinton understands that I and the cross are one in the same."

Hillary Clinton is co-sponsoring a bill to criminalize the burning of the American flag.

...

Flag-burning hasn't been in fashion since college students used slide rules in math class and went to pay phones at the student union to call their friends. Even then, it was a rarity that certainly never put the nation's security in peril.

The bill attempts to equate flag-burning with cross-burning, which the Supreme Court, in a sensible and carefully considered 2003 decision, said could be prosecuted under certain circumstances as a violation of civil rights law. It's a ridiculous comparison. Burning a cross is a unique act because of its inextricable connection to the Ku Klux Klan and to anti-black violence and intimidation. A black American who wakes up to see a cross burning on the front lawn has every right to feel personally, and physically, threatened. Flag-burning has no such history. It has, in fact, no history of being directed against any target but the government.

1. the thing that i've always found ironic

is the proper way to dispose of a flag is to burn it. There is a ceremony of course but you're still burning it.

2. I guess they could be recycled as campaign attire to wear to Hillary Clinton rallies
