..and they want to pass an amendment?

TITLE 4, CHAPTER 1: SECTION 8 - RESPECT FOR FLAG
G. The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.

I honestly can't believe this man is president.

Thanks to First Draft and Atrios for this. I can just see his handlers on the sidelines, running in slow motion, 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...."

I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time...

As a vet my own self, and the biggest barracks lawyer you've probably ever met, I was always busting people for the nit-picks about flags, Colors, and other such things.

In GW's generic defense (not because it's him, but because it's a nitpick), those rules apply specifically to the Colors (which includes the gold fringe), and possibly any flag designed for display on or in front of a government building - not just any generic reproduction of the flag (which was most likely made in Taiwan). It is generally expected (by veteran sticklers like you and I) that a private citizen will extend the same courtesy to other flags displayed for public viewing, but it is not required.

This is why people are not arrested or fined for keeping (personal pet peeve) torn and/or faded flags flying. It's why the army does not actually burn flags that touch the ground (it's only the Colors that require that treatment).

Bush was probably thinking (ha) that a mini-flag with the signature of the President would be a patriotic keepsake - as opposed to deliberate desecration.

Intent is huge in determining that stuff.

I'm still not voting for him.
