DESECRATION FUROR EXTINGUISHED
(For now)
Some Democrats complained that majority
Republicans were exploiting people's
patriotism for political advantage in the
midterm elections.
"That flag," said Majority Leader Bill
Frist, R-Tenn., closing two days of
debate. "It is but a small humble act
for us to defend it."
"Our country's unique because our
dissidents have a voice," said Sen.
Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, a World War II
veteran who lost an arm in the war and
was decorated with the Medal of Honor.

06.26.2006 ... A very rainy weekend here in New York.  I have been working almost everyday, except Saturday
when I spent 5 soggy hours at Yankee Stadium. In the news..after giving themselves a raise, blocking an
increase in the minimum wage, seeing the deaths of US troops reach 2,500 our GOP friends feel they need to
do SOMETHING. So here we go again with an effort to change the US Constitution with a pointless Flag
Burning amendment.  Believe me this is just a political game designed to throw red meat to their base who
seem to have an unhealthy affection for symbolism but real disdain for real help for their fellow Americans If
Republican politicians really wanted to go against the constitution, they probably would just do it and not
publicize it and then complain when they are found out.  Instead, much like the abortion issue. They only really
want to make a lot of noise, label their opponents as evil and drive true believers to the polls.  It seems to have
worked for years, so why wouldn't they try it again.
