        @realDonaldTrump flag burning comment is designed to divert attention from Fake News discussions. Please stop taking the bait.

        Hillary with Democrats introduced legislation in 2005 criminalizing flag burning?- PS: only Democrats burn flags?

        Ppl standing up for flag burning are same ppl who want to shut down alt-right outlets. Hypocritical at best.

        The same can be said for the First Amendment - which is our most important right to preserve. Someone tell Twitter and Facebook.

        if we start to denounce liberties we might as well forget the whole idea of freedom. The home of the free doesn't dictate.

        So people deserve to get shot for drawing the likeness of a fictional being but when one burns the flag they should be protected?

        The Left wants protection of rights for flag burning, violent protests and destruction of property.Is respect of flag too much?

        Yes, but it does not mean that "contempt" has to be defined to include flag-burning.
