Do any of you remember back in 2009

Posted: May 8, 2010

when a woman was told to take down her display of the American flag in a hospital because it offened her supervisor from Africa. Now we have teenagers, at least one being half Hispanic himself, who got in trouble for wearing patriotic t-shirts and bandannas because it offended Hispanic students as it was Cinco De Mayo. Then you have an incident where a student gets 3 days suspension for taking down the Mexican flag that was displayed in his school because it was higher than the American flag. Let us not also forget about the students who walked out of their school in protest and hoisted the Mexican flag up the flagpole with the American flag upside down below the Mexican flag.

Does anyone else see a pattern here? I hate to break it to ya'll...but we live in the United States of America. Our country's flag should not be offensive to anyone residing in this country and Americans should not have to apologize for patriotic display of our country's flag.

It is amazing how we go after Americans who disrespect another country's flag and yet we allow others to disrespect our own flag. Makes no sense to me whatsoever.

In the past, immigrants came to our country to become American citizens, NOT to force American citizens to bow down to their culture.

Except for when we all came here and killed off most of the original Americans. - Do not forget that NM

So because immigrants - sm

came to North America and did horrible things to Native Americans....we have no right as American citizens to protect ourselves against our growing problems with illegal immigrants? Please explain your logic because to me...your post is irrelevant.

I am truly shocked and amazed by how bad some of you think our country is. Do you really think so little of the country you call home?

Do not forget.... - sm

that conquistadors from Spain came to North America as well and are responsible for the death of Native Americans. Now the Mexicans are ticked and say that they have a right to the land we took from them.....that they firstly took from Native Americans. In that respect....the States belong to the Native Americans....as do the lands the Mexicans are trying to claim in the States as their own. They took it from the Indians and we took it from them. By their standards....they don't have a right to claim that land either as it wasn't theirs in the first place.

Funny how Hispanics always forget that part of history. ;)

Mexico - NoName

Do not forget Mexico stole their country from Spain after a long and bloody civil war. Mexico has had very few honest politicians in all of their history.

Think you might find this article interesting. - sm

What do you mean by "allow?" - We

[ In Reply To ..]
"allow" others to disrespect our flag? The students responsible for the upside down flag were punished, and the woman who was told to take her flag down still has her flag up.

Not sure what you mean.

These are the "terrorist" attacks that took place in 2009.

By Andrew McLemoreSaturday, March 27th, 2010 -- 6:25 pm Hatred is getting a lot of press this week as reports of violent harassment against Congressional Democrats continue to surface. It began last weekend with Tea Party activists shouting racist and bigoted comments at House Democrats during the final push for health care reform. But new research shows the Tea Party may be the nice guys amid soaring numbers of hate groups. An "astonishing" 363 anti-government or "Patriot" groups appeared in ...

HOST: Plenty of pundits, Rob, are suggesting that GOP lawmakers might be dragging their heels when it comes to trying to turn it around in fears that it might actually help the president. Are you buying that? GRAY: Well, I’m not buying that they’re dragging their heels. I am buying that they’re rooting against the economy somewhat because they think that the short-term pain of, you know, the next four months is much better than having additional four years of pain unde ...

Just wanted to share some good news. If you applied for a loan modification and were refused one and/or were foreclosed on (or threatened with foreclosure) in 2009 or 2010 you are more than likely getting some restitution from your lender, anywhere from $500 to $125,000, depending on the circumstance. As part of the Independent Foreclosure Review, payments will start to be sent out on April 12th. Go to http://www.occ.gov/topics/consumer-protection/foreclosure-prevention/correcting-for ...

By John ByrneFriday, February 12th, 2010 -- 9:45 am If no health care overhaul passes Congress, health insurers may be in for a windfall -- and one far larger that most Americans probably realize. According to a study by a pro-health reform group published Thursday, the nation's largest five health insurance companies posted a 56 percent gain in 2009 profits over 2008. The insurers including Wellpoint, UnitedHealth, Cigna, Aetna and Humana, which cover the majority of Americans with insur ...

I know it is the most common complaint doctors hear - and for years I have had the stressed-tired-overworked fatigue - I know how that one feels. But this has been going on a couple of months. I am bone tired even after I sleep a lot. My blood work showed I am hypothyroid so I started on medicine and also some supplements for that. But nothing seems to be helping.

the country’s 45th president, outgoing President Barack Obama will be in attendance to witness the peaceful transition of power. The last time power was transferred, the 2009 inauguration of Obama, the tone turned ugly when then outgoing President, George W. Bush, was introduced to the crowd and was met with loud, sustained booing. Even liberal MSNBC found the booing of Bush to be distasteful. Commentator Chris Matthews implored attendees, “Don’t do it,” as the chorus of boos start ...

In my mind, he has divided this country and not brought us together so now everything is out of control and for him to endorse Hilary is disgusting as he, at this moment, should just s ...

The new loaded synonym for “dissent” is “bullying,” which the Left is busy stripping of intrinsic meaning, much as they long ago denuded terms like “racism,” “sexism,” and so forth. “Bullying” now means you’re winning a political contest against liberals. For example, the Huffington Post quickly jumped aboard the suspiciously well-engineered “Mitt Romney is a bully” narrative choo-choo with an articl ...
