The Disgrace of Flag Burning :: Argumentative Persuasive Topics

The Disgrace of Flag Burning   To Those Who Want To Burn the Flag, fairish ask license........ Does the First Amendment give us the right to desecrate the American ease off? Or is the flag a sacred symbol of our nation, deserving protection by law?           For those who want to light Old nimbus on fire, stomp all everywhere it, or spit on it to make some sort of statement, I say let them do it.  But under one condition they MUST get permission from three sponsors.  First, you need permission of a war veteran.  Perhaps a Marine who fought at invasion of Iwo Jima?  The American flag was raised over Mount Surabachi upon the bodies of thousands of dead buddies.  Each night spent on Iwo meant half of everyone you knew would be dead tomorrow, a coin flip international from a bloody end upon a patch of sand your baffle couldnt find on a map.           Or maybe ask a Vietnam vet who spent ye ars torture in a small, smelly cell unfit for a dog.  Or a Korean state of war soldier who helped rescue half a nation from Communism, or a Desert Storm veteran who repulsed a bloody dictator from raping and ransack an innocent country.           That flag represented your mother and father, your sister and brother, your friends, neighbors, and everyone at home.  I wonder what they would say if someone asked them permission to burn the American flag?           Next, you need a signature from an immigrant.  Their brothers and sisters may still languish in their native land, often under tyranny, poverty and misery.  Or maybe they died on the way here, never to touch our shores.           Some have seen friends and family get tortured and murdered by their own government for daring to do things we behave for granted every day.  For those who risked everything sim ply for the chance to become an American....what kind of feelings do they have for the flag when they Pledge Allegiance the first time?  Go to a naturalization ceremony and see for yourself, the tears of pride, the thanks, the love and venerate of this nation, as they finally embrace the American flag as their own.  invite one of them if it would be OK to tear up the flag.           Last, you should get the signature of a mother.
