A conservative view on flag burning

This from Owen, at Boots & Sabers, one of Wisconsin's conservative blogs:

A constitutional amendment that would allow Congress to ban flag burning passed the House yesterday, and congressional leaders said it has a strong chance to clear the Senate for the first time, sending it to the states for ratification.

Yes. I oppose this. Our flag is a very important symbol of our country and deserves the same respect that one would show our country. At the same time, respect for our liberty is an order of magnitude more important than any symbol.

I support the right of anyone to burn, tear, shred, or piss on our flag. Liberty has a price. This is a small part of the sum.
