[Vision2020] License is NOT freedom, dingbat!

James,

You ask how I can oppose flag burning and still claim to support freedom. 
Answer:  You confuse freedom with license.  Flag burning is no more an 
expression of speech than is yelling fire in a crowded theater.  Liberals 
always take a ridiculous, anything goes approach to freedom, not recognizing 
that with freedom comes responsibility.

You ask How I can deny marriage to gays and claim to support freedom.  I am 
advocating that the institution of marriage not be destroyed by the 
licentious behavior of the militant homosexual community.  This is 
supportive of the right of the vast majority to not have their institutions 
assaulted.

You ask how I can support the right of unborn Americans not to be savagely 
ripped from the womb and trash canned, while claiming to support freedom. 
James, I would bet that these innocents, so brutally murdered by 
abortionists, would appreciate my support of their freedom to survive and 
grow.

You say that I come across as mean spirited, yet it is you who wishes to 
destroy America's foundational institutions.  It is you who would assist 
those thoughtless punks who burn the flag.  It is you who callously act as 
an accessory to the premeditated snuffing out of innocent life.

Forget it buddy, keep your confused thinking, lack of proper perspective and 
moral bankruptsy away from me.

Refusing to cow down to those who would enable child killing and flag 
burning,   --Tony
