oooph... this is a tough one. I hate it when people burn the flag, too, and I want them exited from our country. But, it's freedom of speech... and making this offense punishable by a year in jail could lead to a slippery slope, and the Principle of Freedom becomes a principle akin to freedom.
Makes me wonder if this is some sort of ploy just to get the tards to explode.

People are not speaking when they're burning the flag. Have you ever seen a person speaking at a podium and burning the flag at the same time?
"Speech" encompasses far more than making sounds with your mouth. Quit being retarded.
