What the hell from?? What a sad day in this country when one has to be "protected" because one chooses to display our flag.

The issue isn't the flag; the issue is the perceived (and sometimes real) notion that we must cater to somebody who "might" be offended at our flag???????

Please.

I never thought wed arrive to the root of the issue so fast.

It's incidents like the one in the video that make people like this. Kids used to be able to take pocketknives to school.

We used to have guns on gun racks in the school parking lot, and I'm not that old.

sounds to me like the school SHOULD have been trying to protect the boy's free speech rights.

find me a single black, jew or hispanic that is going to be offended if they see a US flag on the back of some kid's bike. then we can talk.



yeah right. I suppose I am also racist because I would assume that blacks would be the race most likely to be offended by the confederate battle flag?

sad that so many people confuse stating statistical probability with prejudice :shrug:

See what setting back and not wanting to make waves with the damn Liberals who do everything they can to try to shame the normal patriotic American people into falling in line with all of their Anti-American immoral activities and plans.

To me Liberal Tolerance means set aside all of your morality and values and allow the Godless to run wild and do anything they want until it destroys the Nation.

Illegals need to be deported and we need to set a goal to ship out 10,000 a month per state as a start.

I back suing the HELL out of the principle of the School, the School Board and anyone who does not uphold freedom of speech, and if a flag is to be banned lets make it the one of the illegal alien invaders, not Americans.

This is stupid and it is not in the end the Fault of the Godless immoral, Anti-Americans it's the fault of those of us who didn't have the stomach for the fight back.

It's time to live up to standards of our founders who were willing to die to make us free, and all we have to do is say hell no enough is enough damn it all.

This is ridiculous, we can be Semi-tolerant without being totally submissive to the Anti-Americans.

"non-news" is your opinion.

The issue is not being able to display the flag of our nation. If burning our flag in this country, a tactic well supported and defended by many through the years, can be debated as freedom of speech, then certainly a flag attached to the bike of a child should carry as much importance.

The child did nothing wrong. What is wrong is the presumed assumption of an ethnic group becoming offended by a national symbol, which has been around for hmmmmmmmm - a lot longer than this newly found sense of entitlement to be offended by something that should never have been an issue in the first place.

Nobody Gets angry at american flags, when some snot nosed kid puts an american flag up on cinco de mayo as an escalation rather than an innocent flag sitting around... We'll, some of the more culturally aware know what that is.

Also... when you see a truck full of white americans driving up to a group of mexicans, waving their flags like it's more their country than anyone elses, telling them that this is not their country and they should go home, swearing, picking a fight draped in the stars and stripes.... well some of us know what that is too.

Did we watch the same video?
I'm sorry but that hispanic kid had no right to run up to the truck and grab the American flag. I also didn't hear anyone telling them they should go home. Was that AFTER they snatched the American flag? In that case I'd tell them to go home too.
If the Hispanics want to fit in instead of take over America, they just should have started shouting USA USA when the kids were waving the American flag. If they don't like America WTF are they doing here? They can take their flags and leave.

and what of people flying/displaying the Mexican flag in the US during marches to protest things they do not like? It shows IMO that those that do have no desire to become part of American. It also shows disrespect.

Disrespectful to affirm their heritage?
 
Deuce said:
Oh, you sound like you're very knowledgable about this school. Tell me, who were the kids involved, and how would you describe their relationships with eachother? What social groups within the school are involved in the situation?
Click to expand...

Frankly, I could care less what the school's social group issues are or who the kids involved are. It's ****ing stupid for a school in the USA to demand that a kid take an American flag off of his bike.

I'm kind of with you on this. Being able to display your heritage by waving a flag, even in a protest rally or parade or whatever, is protected expression in my opinion... whether I agree with you or not.

Exactly, but only if you give the same respect to the American flag.

None, when it comes to people who live in the finest Nation to ever exist and gives them rights unimagined buy most other Counties in the world and these same ungrateful, ignorant, stupid, people use those rights to spout Anti-American hate.

Most are so stupid they fail to realize they are called by those who lead them as the Useful Idiots, and they will be among the first to suffer if those like Obama get their way.

When one is so stupid and will not listen to the facts and can't or won't see truth I, could say screw them, except their foolishness is going to bring us all down not just the Useful Idiots.

Take some time out of hating America and learn a little History, Socialism/Marxism/Communism, and now add to that Black Liberation Theology, which is rooted in Marxism have never and will never succeed.

The examples of failures abound. The sound of these ideologies may sound wonderful but they are unrealistic and ignore facts.

Tolerance of one illegal act lead to another, and it ends in anarchy and that is never going to work.

The law of the land is the Constitution not the Communist manifesto, or the writings of Marx, or the Black Liberation Theology of Obama.

Our Nation has one Flag and it is not Mexican.

This tolerance. liberalism and ignorance in well on it's way to destroying this Nation.

Just look at what Liberalism has done to the Economic & School systems in California over the last 30 years.

It went from number one to next to last in education, and from the 5th leading economy in the world to 8th two years ago and is now bankrupt and in denial over it.

Gov. Perry says in his new book that Texas picked up 150 Businesses in the last year or so who left California because of taxes and regulations, and they can all be traced to Liberalism.

Make no mistake I hate. But it's what people do and say, not the person until they hurt me, and then I still don't hate them, I get even with extreme prejudice.

I'm sorry that some people find living in this country so distasteful. The good news is that we have both a northern and southern border shared with other countries. Those who are offended by America should feel free to go to either one.

Not to Canada, thanks. Mexicans now face stricter regulations to enter Canada.
