Just a short little diary on this Saturday night. I was reading an article on
google concerning the oh so predictable pandering to "values" the republicans are gearing up for in the run up to midterms. Am I just living in a bubble here? I seem to miss all those stories of American flag burnings. I always thought I kept up with current events pretty well, but for the life of me; I've missed all of these reported flag burning incidents.
Now apparently, there was a case of a "burn and run" around the Houston area
recently. The story is complete with an image of the burnt flag, in case you can't imagine such a thing. I'm confident that if our legislators need to create an amendment to the constitution to outlaw these acts, we must be sitting on an epidemic in this country. I'm sure it's another case of the liberal media deliberately covering up these rampant flag burnings.
So that's the state of my confusion tonight. I just can't figure out why I'm missing the coverage of this flag burning epidemic that is leading the charge for social reform. Would someone be so kind as to point me to an outlet where I can get up to date on this urgent issue of values?
Oh yeah, one qualifier... I mean the US flag, Mexican flag doesn't count.
Thanks all, Happy Easter
