I think some people must believe that the freedom to speak out about anything should also extend to any symbolic gesture that they choose to substitute for actually speaking. In other words, freedom of speech also means freedom to act in any way they deem appropriate.

If you want to spend your own money to buy a flag and burn it, you are certainly entitled to do so. If you want to simply light your money on fire complete with the ”In God We Trust” printed on it, you are also entitled with rights that allow you to do that.

Were you to decide that your ”rights” to free speech also include the ”right” to set fire to some national monument, then you ought to meet some resistance.
