A National Character

Once upon a time, we were a United people, with national objects, symbols, that we protected, and a national character to preserve.

EXCERPT:

In 1989, our nation took a very wrong turn into becoming the “farce” that [George] Washington articulated. It was in that year the US Supreme Court decided in Texas v. Johnson, the desecration of the American Flag is constitutionally protected free speech and thus cannot be prohibited by federal or state statute. Interestingly enough, prior to 1989, 48 States and the District of Columbia maintained laws banning the desecration of our American flag. Title 4 of the United States Code, known as “The Flag Code,” establishes the requirements for the handling and displaying of our American Flag. I do not think it says anything about public burning or desecration.

Here we are today, those aligning themselves with Islamic terrorist organizations tearing down our national symbol, a direct attack on our national character, and setting it afire. Now we have domestic terrorists, anarchists, and those supporting criminal illegal immigrants openly burning our American flag while waving that of another country, and the symbol of an Islamic terrorist organization, Hamas. In my interpretation, that is not constitutionally protected freedom of speech; it is a direct assault on our national character and sedition.
