Why demand that everyone march in lockstep with identical gestures dictated by the federal legislature?

The second that legislature starts mandating gestures you don't like on issues you don't like to symbols you don't like, you and everyone else on the right will be screaming bloody murder about violations of your freedoms by the evil politicians in Washington.

That's the insidious appeal of abusing power in Washington. It feels so good when you can do it for your side, that everybody ends up doing it once they are in power.

Every American has an inalienable right to decide what their own speech should be. That is drastically more important than trying to mandate herd behavior on symbolic occasions to make one group feel better.
