Let's have a large Burning of Chinese made American Flags.

[Philosoraptor]

Several political statements could be made at once. We are giving all our jobs away to other nations for slave wages, and we are burning old glories made in a communist nation, and we are protesting the ridiculous flag burning issue all at the same time.

Refuse to burn any American made flags, only Chinese made ones.

1. this is a B.S. issue, but it has the potential to help us self-destruct

in 2006

We should concentrate on getting 1 or both houses back, because if we get bogged down in the wedge issues, than NOTHING else WILL matter

They will have consolidated power, and it will have the potential to be over for our republic

Instead of in your face nonesense, push you representatives and senators to push issues that will AFFECT people. The civil rights voting act that was delayed, Social Security, Medicare, the Iraq war, the illegal wire tapping, the outsourcing of jobs, the environment, energy independence.

If we hang our neck around issues like this we will lose. Nothing will be accomplished unless we take back congress. We MUST think for the long term

3. Of course it's a bullshit issue.

They asked for bullshit, they'll get it.

5. if we fall into their trap it is over, that is my only point

we must keep the eye on the ball, not be side-tracked

[Philosoraptor]

7. I have no intention of desecrating, just making a silly point.

I'm not falling into their trap, I'm playing word games.

8. I understand, and it is a good point

I'm pretty concerned about 2006, and I should probablly chill

2. I am right with you Philosoraptor!

I plan to burn one on the 4th of July!

4. You can tell Im a true American. I bought my Chinese-made flag at WalMart

[Philosoraptor]

6. I have a Lady Liberty statue made in FRANCE.

You remember surrender monkey France? They saved our ass in the revolution.

9. Exactly. Are those tacky little cheap flags the President loves

to autograph considered "real" flags, or souvenirs? Would they be protected by a constitutional amendment or would they be fair game? Although I bet they would give off some serious toxic fumes if you burned them. They don't feel like "real" fabric.
