Yes, the Democrats are still the Stupid Party
Senator Clinton (S-NY) is co-sponsoring an Evil Party bill that would make unapproved flagburning a federal crime (The Newsday article doesn't say this, but it says that a protester intimidating any person by burning the flag is committing a crime. A durian by any other name would stink just as much.) This is a fine example of a member of the Stupid Party leaping headfirst into a trap that the Evil Party just left lying around; when push comes to shove and an antiwar protester is dragged off to jail for unapproved views, the headlines will prominently say "the DEMOCRATIC bill to restrict flag burning will come up for review in the <n>th circuit court when the case of J. Random Anarchist v. The United States of America is heard next week."
Canada will take a break from the 47th round of NAFTA vs. US softwood tariffs to snicker at the majesty of the law in the American Imperium, while patriots who are still stuck here will take the opportunity to roll into foetal balls and start whimpering helplessly. Again.
