Countries that have banned flag burning include Iran, Cuba, and Iraq under Saddam Hussein.
Nevertheless, Rep. Harold Ford (D) approves of the GOP's 4th of July Flag Burning Special.
Ford aspires to assume Bill Frist's seat in the Senate and apparently plans to model himself after Frist:
Had I been in the Senate for yesterday’s vote, I would have voted in favor of the constitutional amendment banning desecration of our flag. Free speech is one of our nation’s most cherished and important values. But just as important is the protection of our flag, which is the clearest symbol of those values. . . If elected to the Senate, I will be proud to be the final vote necessary to see that it gets that protection.
Via Alex over at Forward with Ford, where evidence is presented which suggests that the wannabe Democratic Senator has always been in favor of desecrating the U.S. Constitution by adding a flag protection amendment.
The Constitution Desecration Amendment failed by only one vote - which proves that we already have too many radical conservatives in the Senate.
So, why do we need Ford?
Next week, look for Ford to suggest amending the Ten Commandments:
Thankfully, we can depend on some Democrats - those who voted against the 4th of July Flag-Burning Amendment include: Feingold, Biden, Dodd, Kerry and Rodham Clinton.
