Good old fashioned book burning!

1. Book burning is not something we do.
Freedom of speech means ALL speech.

2. book burning actually is freedom of expression
and it is time liberals use their freedoms to crush their opposition and stop being so tolerant of intolerance.

8. it wasnt made in jest...

many folks around here might be willing to burn the flag as a political statement (not me) and most would certainly protect ones right to do so.

The point of the book burning is to show the pathetic irony in the fudie positions. It is theater.
