			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><pre style="text-align:left;"><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong><strong>"If we set the precedent of limiting the First Amendment, in order to protect the sensibilities
of those who are offended by flag burning, what will we say the next time someone is offended
by some other minority view, or by some other person's exercise of the freedom the Constitution
is supposed to protect?" - Senator Edward M. Kennedy, constituent letter 1997 (<a href="http://www.urbin.net/EWW/sigs/kennedysigs.html">link</a>)</strong></strong></strong></strong></strong></strong>
<strong><strong><strong><strong>
The quote reminds me of one of the many reasons I was not a fan of Hillary, even before
the election. For those who aren't aware, <a href="http://www.mydd.com/story/2005/12/5/211436/972">she supported a law making flag burning a criminal</a>
<a href="http://www.mydd.com/story/2005/12/5/211436/972"> offense</a>. Many believed she did so merely for political gain.  

I agree. 

 In fact, I'd like to hear her answer Senator Kennedy's hypothetical question . . .
for that matter. </strong></strong></strong></strong>
