On the Flag Burning Amendment

Everyone's favorite Cranky Yankee has a great post up on his feelings about the flag burning amendment. This short excerpt captures my own feeling perfectly:

So does my stance on Flag Burning make me a bad Liberal? Maybe. I would not join a protest in which flags were being burned, but I would join one to protect the right to do it. Is there something wrong with my morals because I believe something is morally detestable but don't think it should be outlawed? I don't think so.

Way to sum it up for many of us, Cranky.
