A day after championing passage of the flag desecration amendment in the House of Representatives as a victory for mom, apple pie, and the American way, conservative radio talk show hosts took to the airwaves and chastised the United States Supreme Court for its decision upholding the power of cities to take private property for private development projects. This decision, according to many conservative hosts, is an assault on private property and the Fifth Amendment to the Constitution for the United States. Apparently, conservative talk show hosts have been blinded by the red, white and blue and cannot distinguish one assault on private property from another. Since the flag desecration amendment, at its core, is nothing but an assault on private property under the guise of patriotism, their commentaries on the relationship between private property and freedom went from historical fact to constitutional hypocrisy...
