Patriot or Terrorist?

Neither. Just a vandal. Could be arrested for urinating in public.

Patriots are well know to vandalize the monuments of tyranny and his action is a form of free speech.

if it is being used as a political statement, much like progressives burning the U.S flag is free speech.

1. See any urine or urine stains? Bet this guy just stood there VERY FAST, had a buddy snap a picture of him LOOKING like he was urinating....thenn quickly walked away.


2. That's exactly the level of "threat" that most of these anarcho-rightwing "revolutionaries" REALLY pose. :laugh:

When did progressives start burning the flag?

Was it before, or after you stopped beating your wife?

I haven't heard of any cases where someone tries to treat public urination as free speech, but I suspect that it would fail since rules against public urination are driven not by an objection to the content of the "speech," but rather other factors (public heath, decency, avoidance of unpleasant odors, etc.) If someone came up with a rule that said it's legal to urinate in public on the sidewalk, but not to urinate in public on IRS signs, then that would be struck down on First Amendment grounds, since the nature of the rule wouldn't be about preserving public health and decency, etc., but rather about preventing attacks on the dignity of a political institution, and that's a problem under the First Amendment.

In the same sense, if you arrested someone for burning a flag in a national park during a time when open flames aren't permitted, that wouldn't be a first amendment problem, since the rule against the burning is related to public safety and protection of public property, not a desire to protect the flag, as a symbol, from desecration. Where you run into trouble is where you try to prevent not just burning, generally, but burning of a particular object, on the basis of objecting to the message that burning that object conveys. If you say a person can't burn his own flag because you don't like the flag being insulted, then you've run afoul of the First Amendment.

I'm surprised that the House Republicans haven't trotted out that "flag burning" legislation lately.

Or have they?

I'm a progressive, and I have never burned an American flag. Why would I? I think America stands for the very IDEA of progress. I'd be happy to burn a Confederate flag, though.

[I'd probably piss on it, too.]

You would piss on the flag of your party...nice.. Note you also left out..advocate for sex with minors and racist.

BTW America does stand for progress...not progressive politics...Progress gets us the best healthcare money can buy...progressives get us worse healthcare more money has to buy.

Gee. Thanks for admitting that the Confederate flag is the flag of the Republican Party. I've been trying to get Republicans to admit that for years, and you stepped right up to the plate and confessed.

I'm sincerely grateful.
