The guys name is mike, and I found this on Foxnews.com
"I would speak in favor of the ban. A lot of people say that burning the flag is an expression of free speech, protected in the First Amendment, but it's not. The words were meant to be taken in a literal sense, so actions are not speech. If you use the logic that your actions are covered under free speech, then murder, rape, larceny, etc. would be legal because you're just expressing yourself." †™ ¢‚¬„¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¢†™‚¢‚¢¢¢‚¬Å¡‚¬¦‚¡¢‚¬Å¡‚¬†™‚¢‚¢¢¢¬…¡‚¬?
