Isn't there a certain level of irony in wanting to kick someone's ass for burning a piece of cloth and telling someone who is really trampling your freedoms "just wait until election day"?
So we should want to beat the politician's ass? I think you get more time for that and more news coverage...

What would have our founders have done?
Because the thing to do when the wife starts talking divorce is kill the *****.Well, Andrew Jackson made a comment that if he heard one more comment about seccession, he would personally lead a March, and hang every single person who supported it.

I hope it's understood that I was being sarcastic to make a pointI like your thinking Fletch.

My point exactly... if people wanted to secede, why not just let them go?Yeah, right..... It's a time for celebration, men, women, you can relate to that.
If a relationship is that pee poor, the best thing to do is leave, and add ZERO baggage to that exodus.
I've said this on here before. I took my flag down. I'm to the point where I feel our founders would take our flags away from us if they could come back and do so. Every American is responsible for our country straying away from what our founders fought, bled, and died for. And yet we have the arrogance to believe we are worthy of being their equals. They risked their lives to give us liberty. What are we doing with the gift they've given us? We are pissing it away for our posterity. They cared more for their posterity than their own lives. We are selling our children into slavery for our own slice of government cheese.

You could always buy them flowers, take them to dinner, and really, really listen for once.

So, to play devil's advocate... does that mean you were for the continued enslavement of the blacks in the South? Wasn't the war worth destroying such a cruel institution?
The civil war was NEVER about 'freeing' the White or Black slaves; Infact, Lincoln in his speech suggested, that if he lived longer, that he would repatroit them back to Africa, I believe as part of the ACS goal, of which the American Govt purchased Liberia.
The war, was over keeping the Union intack.
They were given "freedom" a really, horrid version of it afterwards, and were and continue to this day, to be refused the right to self-govern, and self determination; Hence the illusion of they're freedom is a major joke in Americistan.
I'm not in favor of the particular form of slavery practiced in early America, no. As to whether any war is "worth" its purported aims, which assumes the war's efficacy at achieving those aims, I tend to take the skeptical view. And even with those concerns laid aside, I see no good reason to continue forbidding secession once the issue of slavery has been resolved.So, to play devil's advocate... does that mean you were for the continued enslavement of the blacks in the South?

Dont ask me. I wasnt alive back then. But I think Jackson did EVERYTHING RIGHT.
