This is what Im talking about. You support the right, but wouldnt
actually perform the action. May I ask why not?

Because its a freedom of speech issue. Same as I support the right of the KKK

actually march, sheetify, or mean-emit with them.
Some constitutional scholar you are!
ObMeToo: I support flag burners but I wont actually be burning *my* flags
unless I need to dispose of them properly, in which case Ill do so privately in
a manner that will not endanger my property (unlike those fireworks I shot off
last year, but lets not go there)
