The argument I’ve heard is that The Founding Fathers could have never had any idea that people today would be so terrible.

The Founding Fathers saw statues of the King pulled down and British flags burned.

They knew all about destroying symbols and didn’t put anything about it in the Constitution for a reason.

I suspect that broadcast and social media has poisoned the people.

Yup.

This is a good opportunity for compromise. Let’s all agree to burn confederate flags instead.

I’m an Amendment-to-Be,

Yes, an Amendment-to-Be,

And I’m hopin’ that they’ll ratify me.

There’s a lot of flag burners

Who have got too much freedom,

I wanna make it legal

For policemen to beat 'em.

'Cos there’s limits to our liberties,

Least I hope and pray that there are,

‘Cos those liberal freaks go too far.

“Why can’t we just make a law against flag burning?”

“Because that law would be unconstitutional. But if we change the Constitution—”

“Then we could make all sorts of crazy laws!”

"Now you’re catchin’ on!"

(Turns out you don’t need to change the Constitution, you just have corrupt Supreme Court Justices pull “interpretations” out of their ass.)

The Boy Scouts burn a lot of flags.

Because that’s how you’re supposed to (reverently) dispose of one.

realcaseyrollins OP ,

Pro Palestinians/Hamas supporters do it occasionally, but you make a good point, it doesn’t happen all that often

As an American, if there is a law that says I am not allowed to burn a flag, I will go to the store, buy every flag available, and burn them all.

First amendment = best amendment

He has no clue what it takes to amend the Constitution.
