Actually in 2005 then Senator, Hillary Clinton proposed this very action and liberals had no problem with it. 4-D Chess. 🤔

Doesn't matter what either one thinks. The Supreme Court has already ruled that it is protected under the 1st. Amendment as an expression of free speech.

The ONLY ones against this are the liberals that are not tolerant except for there own agenda to destroy America.

Yes i agree but nobody can lose there citizenship unless its treason but 1 yr in jail and a $10,000 fine which would go to the local VFW then Yep.

Loss of Citizenship needs to be a new LAW

This will be a good deterent for all the criminals

Make a deal with Russia and China to Take and Keep them

instead of breaking our country housing them in prisons

Also executions need to be Enforced on the ones that
need it ....if Not there is NO Justice...and they Laugh
at you in this country ....All they Get is TIME WOOOOO!!!

And yet wasn't the Confederate flag banned? I seem to recall some talk but don't remember what happened with that.

Love how some of you pick which amendments Trump should protect. It's okay to disagree with him once in awhile.

Don't fall for the religion of politics.

Think about your position.
My gosh it is a flag.

We have always honored individual rights to make statements (freedom of speech).
That right is inalienable. We are born with it.

Think about your God, not the elite's Country.
Don't fall for this silly religion of politics.

Humans are more important than governments and armies.

I believe to discard a flag properly you are in fact supposed to burn it. Catch 22

6:41, while what you are saying is true, there's a proper way to discard the flag. We have done so here with military members reading off the proper language to do so. There are also flag burning ceremonies at local VFW's. You can drop off your old flags and they will properly burn them. So it is not a catch 22. Instead, as usual, many are not educated.

"Doesn't matter" because of a previous Supreme Court ruling? Don't be so sure. Keep in mind just because the Supreme Court reached a decision to protect flag burning as a matter of free speech doesn't mean that future rulings can't override that decision. Look at slavery and the Jim Crow laws. They were once both protected by Supreme Court rulings too.

Right you have vocal cords. In truth, it's not completely clear that the *action* of burning a flag is anywhere equivalent to speaking one's mind, i.e., free speech. President Elect Donald J Trump is on a much firmer and a much more rational ground then previous admins. Get ready for new SCOTUS appointments to starting fixing some things that need fixing badly.

Some mention take their citizenship away for punishment. How can you do that when most are not citizens. Look at the crowd of low life scumballs burning the flag in front of Trump Towers. MEXICAN

How many of us actually love the government in Washington DC?

I didn't think so.
The flag represents the GOVERNMENT.

We the People are not represented by this evil government
We can't even stop the illegal wars of aggression.

Wake up folks.
This is mind control.
Flags are for militaries.

I for one, do NOT support this government or its military.
