[Vision2020] Celebrate freedom, kick a flag--burner's ass!

Because "subversive hippie" Bill London is my friend, and because Tony 
considers him, me, and others like us to be America's "domestic enemies" 
when we defend the rights of people to do things that are offensive -- such 
as "desecrating" a flag, as Bill put it -- I feel compelled to note that 
when we find Tony's speech to be sickening, vituperative, destructive and 
nasty, we still defend his right to say it.

Which, I can't help but think, is a good indicator of one's loyalty to the 
principles of the Constitution guiding one's nation.  Kinda not an enemy 
position in my mind.

Leave it to a subversive Hippie like Bill London to praise those who would
burn the American flag.  Pathetic and loathsome.  Flower child London says,
"If I chose to desecrate a flag by burning it in an open place.... so what?
That is free speech."

What pure, unadulterated horseshit!  There is no speech involved in such a
juvenile, thoughtless, ungrateful and snotnosed activity.  It is
unpatriotic, typically liberal acting out.  If that is free speech, Billy
Boy, then it would be free speech for me to walk up to said burner and bury
my boot a foot up his terrorist--enabling ass!

Sick to death of America's domestic enemies,  --TONY
