Trump suggests loss of citizenship or jail for those who burn U.S. flags

By John Wagner November 29 at 10:55 AM


President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened loss of citizenship or jail for those who burn the American flag, saying such protests — which the Supreme Court has declared to be free speech — should carry “consequences.”

Trump offered his thoughts in an early-morning post on Twitter, saying, “Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag.”

Nobody should be allowed to burn the American flag - if they do, there must be consequences - perhaps loss of citizenship or year in jail!

I hope that this is just a random twitter message, and not a considered opinion.  Certainly as a conservative veteran, the freedoms I was trying to protect included free speech and expression, even if that expression involved burning of the flag.

However, this is a good reason why the liberals on the left need to help confirm Trump's initial Supreme Court nominee quickly.  The list from which Trump is currently working consists of justices similar to Scalia, and Scalia was among the 5 justice majority that ruled that flag burning was constitutionally protected speech.  Let's not give Trump time to shift to a supposedly more "moderate" or leftist judge like Stevens, who was willing to jettison this first amendment freedom.

Is it really wise to burn the American flag on a regular in front of so many Americans who value and appreciate it. You're a soldier. Soldiers are professionally trained to over look the burning of the American flag. The vast majority of Americans aren't trained professionals like our cops and soldiers. I'm not going to be surprised/shocked when a group or groups of flag burners find themselves being harshly confronted or viciously attacked by groups of angry Americans. I'm not sure if Nancy Pelosi would be able to handle situations like that if they were to begin happening all over the place.

Here's a new game. The name of the game is smoke out the faux "Nationalists." Here's how it works. Real Nationalists stream some video of a flag burning. This is kinda like geocaching. Along with the video stream there are hints given. Some pan-National Bolshevik / White Nationalist / Alt-Right types get wound up and decide to track it down and go punch out some untermensch. The Real Nationalists lie in wait. In come the Faux "Nationalists" guns a blazing. They then discover being on the wrong end of sniping.

Faux news broadcasters or the Enzige's of our world? The bulk of the Faux "nationalists" wouldn't know what to do with a gun in their hand. Me, I know what to do with a gun in my hand. I assume that you'd know what to do with one as well. I assume we'd both use our guns to help defend our nation.
