Pagan Flag Worship Still An Elusive Dream

Just for the record, I think the flag protection amendment idea is just as silly as the marriage protection amendment idea, if not more so. Why on earth does a flag need so much protection? And why the flag and not anything else? Why not an amendment to ban government protest? It’s just silly. The real purpose of the amendment, aside from election year posturing, is pretty obvious: It’s just another scam to restrict the power of the judicial branch, in order to nudge our government toward a more authoritarian state. Republicans are basically saying, as they did with marriage protection, “judges can’t be trusted to make judgments, because they might, you know, judge the wrong way, so to avoid confusion we’ll just take that power away from them.” It’s kind of frightening that 66 senators (including both from Virginia) actually voted for a flag amendment and a more authoritarian United States. I’m not sure if that’s a reflection of the will of the people, or a reflection of Senate corruption. Either way it’s kind of sad.
