Hate Burning

Heated reactions to Ben Stein's "Defending the Flag" -- a special Reader Mail section.

(Page 2 of 11)

Scott Stambaugh br> Murphy, North Carolina /p>

I honestly expect far more from Ben Stein. He's a wise, highly intelligent man.

And he knows very well that there's no constitutional ban on hate speech, and the other things he mentions in his article. It's one thing to suggest making a law against something. It's an entirely different thing to halt everything in D.C. with a war raging in Iraq and Afghanistan to try to pass an amendment to our constitution... especially over something that happened all of four times last year.

p>Mr. Stein is being intellectually dishonest, and I hope deep in his heart, he must be ashamed of this blatant pandering to the weak minded in our society: those fools that can't tell a cheap political stunt from honest policy. Shame, Mr. Stein, shame on you. We expect more from you. br> -- Heath /p> p> The Constitution says for the people, by the people. It should now read for the left, by the left, or by the special interests, for the special interests, or for the ACLU, by the ACLU. If it is illegal to show child pornography online -- give it a little bit more time -- the ACLU will have that overturned as well. br> -- C.R. Bynum /p>

Mr. Stein, only an idiot pledges allegiance to a flag, and you are no idiot. What are you up to?

Our flag is the symbol of what we pledge allegiance to, and what we pledge allegiance to are the ideals set forth in the Constitution and Bill of Rights. That's what makes America what it is.
