Which would inflame the Right more, Burning the Flag or Burning the
Constitution If a protest rally were held and as protest one of these items were to be burnt, which one would cause the most howls? It is my opinion that it would be the flag because most on the right are so superficial. They think the flag is more important than what it stands for. Both acts should be protected by the Constitution IMHO.

1. Burning embryonic cells would be the most inflammatory.

2. Burning the flag is protected speech,
the kind that's addressed in the Constitution.

But, the Constitution's already been burned.

3. The Flag is The Symbol of our Beliefs of Freedom... If you start
making laws to limit that freedom, the Flag at that point means nothing at all....

4. Reality is in the minds, hearts, and behaviors of people.
You can protect stuff (colored cloth, paper/ink, soil) perfectly, but that will not make anything real.

6. Why not burn Bush and Cheney in effigy instead.

I think it makes a better point than burning the flag or Consitution.
