Local ordinances can't supersede the Constitution. The Supreme court years ago ruled it was protected speech to burn the flag,

Yes I know, thats why I said I would not consider these theatrics of tearing up flags and holy books as "speech".. and should NOT be protected.

These acts could only be considered a form a speech where actual speech were prohibited.... they are in fact closer to inciting a public disturbance or riot.

America is a land based on the premise we are absolutely free to act as we like so long as we do not harm others. Offending feelings is not harm.

Thus burning Quorans generated a lot of hurt feelings but was absolutely allowable under our Constitutional freedoms.

Equally the backers of the Victory Mosque have every right to build their Mosque in the face of the expressed disapproval of most other Americans.

Guess which offender of feelings felt compelled to honor the wishes and opinions of the majority and gave up their right to offend?

That you can even type that with a straight face beggars belief.

I'm all for offending bigots and xenophobes. I hope to do it more often than I have. If Park51 is built, God willing, it will certainly be a victory over them, as it should be. God bless America!

Except in these examples, we don't see "hate" for the flag.

If your goal was to find white peeps desecrating the flag.. you could have found a better example than that, libs do it all the time.

Nothing says love for America more than having the pride of our nation wadded up in a woman's #######

I might have to challenge you on this point.

We are not "absolutely free to act as we like" or public profanity would not be against the law... as is going nude or drinking in public or, or or, the list goes on and on.

I think unfortunately nothing but ill will on both sides of the Mosque issue has poisoned all hope that anything like a bridge between cultures and belief systems will be generated. If it is built. If it is not built, or even if it is built elsewhere.

God who does not exist has nothing to do with it.
