The 2 are not mutually exclusive.

Agreed, it is not speech, it is an action.
I think if one thinks the flag should be burned they should find another country to live in.

I would like to see ALL RAINBOW FLAGS removed from public buildings. If activists wish to push their agenda in private properties, that is fine, but no activist group on either side should be allowed to promote their agenda on public property. Since the left has already banned things like Christian symbols in public places, any anti Christian symbols promoting any form of deviant behavior, whether it is sexual, promoting drug usage or encouraging rioting to force your point agenda on others MUST also be banned from public places.

I'm a believer in personal liberty as the norm, only to be restricted as absolutely necessary. That means freedom of speech includes prayers and also includes flag burning.

In a way I would like to see a constitutional amendment protect the American flag as a unique symbol of America. But it wouldn't work. If you made a flag with 49 stars would it still be an American flag? What if it had red and off-white stripes? What if the shape was slightly different (longer or shorter length proportional to the height)?

The fact is that any attempt to squelch speech is ultimately a fool's errand in a free society. A society must become less free to stop hateful, stupid, or even unAmerican speech.

I my view...burning the Flag of the United States is no different that attempting to burn THE United States and everything we as a Nation of Freedom stands for. A flag burner should be shot on sight, no questions asked!

Bahmer! Burning the American Flag is free speech! Why? It is very simple! The Supreme Court has ruled on more than one case saying those Americans who have a beef with the nation have every right to burn the flag. To burn our nation's most precious symbol is one I find mean, hateful and it goes against everything I hold dear as an American. I support the right of that Idiot if he wants to burn that flag. When he does it, it defines who and what he is as an American. He is one that I don't want to be around and I will have my eye on him/her in the future. If they do something like destroy property, set a bomb off or something like that, I am going after that person with a vegence and hold them accountable under the law.

OK you have the freedom of speech to burn the American flag and America should have the right to remove your citizenship as well and should do it. If you hate America then we should as a nation remove that individuals citizenship and have him or her deported to some other country. Probably the notion of his or hers ancestors.
