>Flying the Confederate flag could not possibly be construed by any reasonable person as "violation of allegiance toward one's country". I'd argue that it could. In the same way it's a crime to display Nazi symobls in certain countries. I'd acknowledge that it isn't under the Constitution, but maybe it should be. >Jim McDermott can go to Iraq, call our president a liar, state that he trusts the enemy's dictator more than our own leader, and not be guilty of treason, but someone flying a Confederate flag in our country could be. Do you know how f*ing stupid this sounds to a reasonable person? No, but I think I just found out how stupid it sounds to an unreasonable one! Heh- you're putting words in my mouth, Dave. >If I choose to fly an Iraq flag outside my house today, am I guilty of treason and should I be arrested and shot? Maybe not shot, but being told to take it down doesn't sound unreasonable- especially once we're actively at war with Saddam. >Only liberals could be so absurdly all over the place. (Sigh) Only liberals. -Z
