House Approves Flag-Burning Amendment

The House has approved a constitutional amendment that would give Congress the power to ban desecration of the American flag.

Oh, please, spare me the hypocrisy. We already worship the almighty dollar. And several of those denominations have a flag on them. By officially (or unofficially ) banning the desecration of the American flag, we become like those lunatics who go beserk when their Koran is desecrated. IT is only a book! Its the words that are important. Just as the American flag is unimportant, but its meaning, its symbolism IS important.
Hell America in general doesn't even put that kind of emphasis on human life. I mean we can kill innocents in war; we can execute people for crimes we're not even absolutely certain they are guilty of. And we abort roughly 1 million fetuses a year. All these things are MUCH more important that some stupid Betsy Ross quilt!
