Then you are against the laws that ban cross burning?
Well, I am against laws that ban cross burning in and of itself. However, cross burning has typically become associated with the KKK. It's not exactly the same thing as burning a flag in my opinion.
Im more offended by someone burning the flag than burning a cross.
Right, so in otherwords, only left wingers are patriotic? :roll:
I think it cheapens the symbol by claiming it is nothing more than cloth.

If you want to burn YOUR flag on YOUR property, go for it.
If you want to burn YOUR cross on YOUR property, go for it.
If you burn someone else's flag or cross or on someone else's property, pay the penalty.
And it cheapens the values and principles of this country to pay more respect to the cloth than to the things that the flag represents. Just sayin.....
I don't think anyone here is really arguing that point. No one here is on the side of vandalism. This thread turned into a more broad discussion on the topic of flag burning in general.

Cross burning traditionally was done mostly on someone else property, so yes, I would be against it.
However, if they decide to burn a cross on their own lawn, then that's their right to do so IMO and there shouldn't be any laws against it unless they are being reckless about it..
Nowadays though, I think there are many subset laws that prevent burning flags or crosses on lawns due to strict fire codes (at least in most urban areas) that can be enforced.
No....I didn't say that now did I? Just your twisting of the word. I do believe that more right-wingers however, claim to be "patriotic" when they really advocate against everything that the flag represents.....
