The flag is sacred? We should we protect it from being burned? Is the nation sacred? Should we be protecting it from being burned, dismantled and erased? From what I'm seeing there won't be a nation to fly the sacred flag over in about two decades?

Between the Senate and the Bush administration's efforts to flood this country with a tidal wave of new immigrants and technical workers. See Senate bill H.S. 2611 and the Pence compromise. And a secret cabal called the SPP working out of the dungeons of the Commerce Department to erase the borders between the US, Canada and Mexico in order to create the North America Union. Will there be a United States of America left to fly Old Glory over?

The Bush Administration is selling the rights to our ports to foreign nations while at the same time drawing up plans to build so called transportation corridors up to four football fields wide to be built by international financial consortiums to bring cheap imported goods up through Mexico made by slave laborers in Asian countries. The first to be built is the TTC, or the Texas Transportation Corridor, starting in Mexico and ending in Canada. If at this point you think I'm a crackpot, search for NASCO, or North American Super Corridor on any web search engine. In fact they plan on more than one NAFTA corridor, check out the following if you don't believe me: fina-nafi.org

Once the Bush Administration, along with Canada and Mexico have finally implemented their SPP, or the Security and Prosperity Plan, by 2012 you'll not only be able to burn all the flags of the Stars and Stripes but will probably be encouraged to do so by the elites in charge.

May I suggest we forgo the November elections, and the 2008 presidential elections, and just fast track the SPP? Once it's in place there will be no need for corrupt politicians to run for Federal office anymore. We'll have plenty of corrupt bureaucrats, international corporations and the nanny-state telling us how to live. Remember think globally. Nation states are as dead as the dodo. The new law of the land will be International corporate governance. You also might want to visit your state capital sometime soon, because they'll all be museums in the not too distant future showcasing the glory of your state governments' past history and accomplishments.

p>The way things are going, we won't need to defend the flag. Burn baby, burn! br> -- William Weaver br> American Citizen, USA /p> p> Ben Stein is absolutely right. Under existing First Amendment jurisprudence, it should be permissible to ban flag burning as a form of hate speech -- without any Constitutional amendment. But the real problem is the existing jurisprudence itself. The First Amendment protects speech, not conduct. Even if conduct has some element of expression, it is not speech. Flag burning and pornography are conduct, and therefore undeserving of any First Amendment protection. There is something seriously wrong when the First Amendment protects conduct like flag burning and pornography, yet does not prohibit strict regulation of political speech. br> -- J. Szuma /p>
