Demagoguery in the name of patriotism.
The House of Representative has voted for Amendment to the Constitution of the United States authorizing Congress to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag of the United States. What is ironic is the sponsor in the House was Rep. Randy (Duke) Cunningham now serving prison time for corruption. Rep.Doc Hasting voted for the Amendment.
The Senate is preparing to vote soon on this Amendment. It appears that it might just pass. They find that a symbol is in dire danger. One must ask when you have seen the American flag burned recently. Not likely.
The politicians are engaged in demagoguery in the name of patriotism. This will be the first time in our history, that we take rights away from its citizens.
We must also remember, these same Representatives failed to enforce immigration laws, failed to prevent September 11 2001, increased our national debt over 8 TRILLON DOLLARS, sent our men and women to Iraq, and has failed to protect our boarders and ports. The list could go on.....Oh yes, not the time to hold any one to blame. When will, We the People hold them accountable for there failures and votes?
