As long as we don't actually use tar and feathers, it should be constitutionally protected.

But as Christians, even what is constitutionally protected is not the same as being righteous. Or as Paul would say "not expedient." If our guide for righteous living is the constitution, there is a lot of allowance for unrighteousness — even protection for it. The Bible (which I am being chastised for dismissing "inerrancy" of in the main forum) has a higher standard.
Apparently my point was lost in the translation.

I did not mention this flag-burning case to provide license for Christians, rather to display how the laws of our land have become so biased in favor of activist minorities who owe their identity to the sins of Sodom.
