Respect The American Flag!

The Republican Congress is at it again. They passed this bill to protect Americans from those vicious flag-burners. Apparently, we must bow down and worship the flag instead of what it represents.

Do you think George Washington or Benjamin Franklin would approve of displaying the flag on a man's dick and then turn around and condemn protesters for burning the flag? This bill is just another corporate brick in the wall separating citizens from a government by the people and for the people. Why don't these corporate Congressmen simply replace the flag's stars with the Texaco symbol and update those boring stripes with curvy golden arches. At least it would put an end to the hypocrisy.

Update: Here's an interesting angle on this non-issue from Scalzi!
