Flag of Freedom

Re “House Backs Amendment to Outlaw Flag Desecration,” June 4: The irony is apparently lost on Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham (R-San Diego), who questions the patriotism of those opposing his flag measure. Didn’t he himself say that the “flag represents freedoms, traditions and liberties”? Do we need more laws to enforce patriotism? Are Republicans more American than Democrats? I think they would have us believe so.
