If you are burning flags because you dislike the current administration then you are just an idiot.
Flag burning is for people who hate the country and the ideas that the country is founded on. If you don't like the current administration then burn a picture of a cabinet member or something but donj't burn the flag.
It's ok to be patriotic and to dislike an administration.

I just want to know why you want to burn the flag? It makes no sense. What does it prove? The fact you can do it? Big deal. If burning it shows, your disdain for the US, there other ways to go about it. Leaving the US for another country for one. If you leave, its one less tax payer in the US. That will really show you dislike the US and its practices and mis use of tax dollars. Or better yet, do not pay your taxes, that's a true protest. Stop doing that and you could end up in jail. That will prove to me you stand for your convictions.

Not very original or smart. If you don't agree with the current administration, I suggest you rally the people to get out and VOTE. Teach them that their vote really does count and if everyone exercised their right and voted, you would learn that the power belongs to the people. Don't go around burning flags, wave them.

Peaceful Demonstration is fine but flag burning as a form of protest has no place in my agenda. Many brave Americans have died to protect your right to protest and speak out. I refuse to spit on their graves by burning the symbol of America. That said I would not take your rights to protest in anyway you chose. I would also fight and die to protect and defend the Constitution. Many in America like to use non issues like flag burning to divert attention from real issues. Flag burning is also used to divert attention away from incompetence and failure.

Why flag burning, will it be cold?
I'm not a flag worshipper, but it seems like a waste of cloth just to burn it for no reason, after all it isn't the flag causing the problems, the flag is just inert material

Burning a flag doesn't show opposition to certain political policies; it shows antipathy to the United States as a whole.

How can you say peaceful and flag burning in the same sentence. Even though you don't agree with the policies don't forget you live in the greatest country in the world. You are much better off than someone living in the middle east! shame on you for even wanting to burn the flag!

The asterisks around peacefull tell me your little demonstration is not going to be peacefull. I value our country and respect our flag way too much to join you.

I guess I don't understand why you think your question is interesting, except that maybe you think of yourself as an exceptionally interesting person, to yourself.
Here's a more interesting proposition:
Why don't you protest, with bullhorns and burning flags, the nuclear proliferation and provocative warlike language by the governments in PyongYang or Teheran? Go there, burn their flag, and denounce their governments for being so warmongering, for failing to respond to all kinds of diplomatic overtures.
How about going to Havana and protesting, with burning flags, the brutal tyrant Castro?
Or, how about doing it in Caracas? Protest the fact that Chavez is going to build a machine gun factory, so he can export guns to marxist revolutionaries throughout Latin America.
How about it?
