You will rarely see me agree with Barbara Boxer, but today I will bless her in my prayers of thanksgiving. She voted against the flag desecration amendment.
The amendment would have given the flag, a man made thing, special protection as a sacred object. This is repugnant case of too much government. I do not support flag burning. I have never burned one, I have never seen one burned. The thought of burning a flag is offensive. But even more evil is the thought of the U.S. Government raising a man made object to the level higher than religious symbols. Last time I checked, it was not a crime to burn a cross, stomp on a Magen David, put a statue of Buddha in a toilet, or draw an offensive cartoon of Mohammed. In fact, I am more offended by a cross burning than a flag burning, but it is not the government's job to protect me from being offended!
God bless Barbara Boxer.
