5. They whine about the Made In China Flags and at the same time
wipe their cheney on the Constitution. Mona Lisa's enigmatic expression, looks like a sh*t eating grin to guys like Bill Frist, the guy with the constant, Gomer Pyle looking sh*t eating grin...

20. I couldn't believe a freeper didn't call in and blame...
'Global Warming' on the flag burners, instead of the greedy air polluters.

The only people I've ever seen burn an American flag, were on TV.

10. "If you burn one in front o' me you do it at your own peril"
One caller just said that and said "I'm a Marine"

One Hawaiian said he had a RIGHT to burn it cause Marines took Hawaii from his queen.

18. I once worked for a congressman who was one of only two . . .
to vote against a similar bill . . . the year was 1966 or 67 . . .

these kinds of things rear their ugly heads every few years, are approved by the House, and then die in the Senate . . . I trust the same thing will happen this year . . .

19. They say it's ONE vote from passing..
Edited on Mon Jun-26-06 07:29 AM by Philosoraptor
But then it probably wouldn't actually become law, its just a stunt anyway, and a cheap one at that.

21. don't they need 67 votes for a Constitutional amendment? . . .
if so, I find it hard to believe they're only one vote away . . .
