PERKEL: "So as long as we can burn the flag, then we, the people assert our dominance over the government. If the government can take away our right to burn the flag, then the government has dominance over the people and that’s not the way the United States is made."
CARLSON: "Really? Because, I mean, I -- you know, I sort of buy a lot of what you are saying. I do think that we ought to resist government’s encroachment into our lives. But you know, where were you when they started telling you how many gallons you can have in your toilet tank, or when the Obama administration started spying on people’s e-mails, breaking into your Gmail. I don’t remember you jumping up and down. I don't think that you are a man of principle, I think you are malcontent who enjoys infuriating decent people, is what I think."
