FLAGGING SUPPORT FOR
HILLARY'S 'BAN'

By IAN BISHOP
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
December 7, 2005 -- WASHINGTON — The American Legion is torching Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's support of a new measure that outlaws flag-trashing without addressing the issue of a Constitutional amendment to ban it.
"In deference to the senator, she may be sincere in her quest for a law, but she is sincerely wrong," American Legion National Commander Thomas Bock said.

"The remedy she has chosen, a statute without an enabling amendment to the U.S. Constitution, is a long road to a dead end." <snip>

2. I really don't care about flag burning. But I know plenty of people who do

and I don't think it ever wins us supporters.

But I HATE Clinton. . .for other reasons, mind you.

3. Hate Clinton? (Hillary)

I do, too. She has, in my eyes, become a DINO...another DLC albatross around our necks that will pull us down into defeat in '08 if she gets a chance to.

I'll vote for her if she ends up the nopminee, only because the alternative (another 4 years of Repuke rule) is unthinkable. But i'm fervently praying we nominate ANYONE BUT HILLARY.

4. Ah, the American Legion...

...the guys who used to lynch Wobblies.

I see they're still as reactionary as ever.
