That being said, I would also fight like hell for the freedom that allows it.

I heard about this on the radio, but seems no-one has posted about it yet. Reading around the topic, it seems this comes up every few years, someone tries to amend the US constitution to ban flag burning.
I think it's a shame really that some people feel this way, one of the things I really like about the USA is the way your 'freedom of expression' is pretty dang free, even something like flag burning which is going to be pretty offensive to a lot of people is allowed.
Even here in the 51st state (UK) we are allowed to burn our flag, it would be sad if the "home of the free" stopped this.
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. -- Some Missouri Congress members are again pushing for a constitutional amendment protecting the U.S. flag.
An amendment sponsored by Republican Rep. Jo Ann Emerson and Democratic Rep. Ike Skelton would give Congress the "power to prohibit the physical desecration of the flag."
