Why is it that this administration and Congress are completely opposed to government intervention *unless* it involves your private lives and personal morals? Shouldn't they care about bigger things, like maybe our skyrocketing debt? (Yes, that goes for liberal roll-over legislators, too.)

that cartoon is fantastic!! And I'll say it for you guys--i'm a liberal.
But come on how can you not see a new flag burning debate as just deflection from all of the current administration's failures? And for the record this liberal is totally against flag burning.

The flag burning has little to do with the administration, it is more the congress. The administration uses their wacko religious/idiotic views on things like gay marriage when they want to get people distracted. The flag burning issue has been around forever and July 4 is always a good time to bring it up. The fact is it probably would be nice to see it hit the states to see if they can get the 2/3 vote. Americans might actually wake up and pay attention to an issue.
