I spent a long time preparing and installing a US flag/pole and the
associated lighting.
I also spent 7 years in the Navy.
I hate Clinton, I consider Kerry to be a traitor, and if asked should
we have invaded Iraq I'll be the first to say yes.
But if this complete bullshit should ever alter the constitution - I'll
rip down and burn every flag I see, after I burn the flag that draped
my father's coffin.

I don't often agree with Democrats, but this makes a lot of sense. See the
quote below.
Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., said, "If the flag needs protection at all, it
needs protection from members of Congress who value the symbol more than the
freedoms that the flag represents."

Yep, that pretty much sums it up, for me anyway.
Altering the constitution to protect the flag is about as clever as
'freedom fries'... IMO.

Since you mention it, Rep. Walter Jones (R-NC), who started the
freedom fries thing, now regrets it, says the U.S. invaded Iraq with
no justification, and has introduced legislation to begin withdrawing
U.S. forces by autumn 2006:

Well, burning the flag IS considered the proper way of disposing it.
But in any case, I think that congress is acting a bit foolishly
