If you are talking about the school thugs, I mean kids, in California that were not just flying the Mexican flag, they lowered the American and state flags, removed the state flag, hung the Mexican flag first, (highest), then hung the American flag upside down under the Mexican flag, then yeah, I had a problem with that. If they want to just fly the Mexican flag alone, go for it, but do not fly it over the US flag and do not fly the US flag upside down.


Thank you for posting what really happened westtntoms!

In my opinion, only ONE flag should be legal to fly in this country. That is a show of unity and strength. No matter where you go or where you live in this country, you are in AMERICA. Her flag is the only one you should be wanting to raise....imo.



Dang, I guess I'd better pull down every state, county, and church flag then.

This one cracks me up a little. As a Civil War buff I see things a little bit different. I find it a tad funny that a lot of the people in TN fly the CS battle flag as being proud of their "rebel ancestors" when in reality, most of the men in TN fought under the union flag.

But the other facts are even more stunning and are always ignored.

1. Most Confederate soldiers fighting under that flag, never owned a slave. They were fighting for a totally different reason(s). As it was truly dubbed, "rich man's war, poor man's fight".

2. If the blacks want to be mad or offended at somebody or something, they should be mad and offended at THEIR ancestors who sold them TO the slave traders in the first place!! They were the ones reaping the benefits by selling their own people into slavery.

3. I find the term "African American" offensive. It suggests dual citizenship and treason against the United States. I feel that if you are a citizen of the United States, that you are as one body AND SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS...AMERICAN.

4. Lincoln gets the credit for being the one who freed the slaves. He did no such thing. The Emancipation Proclamation only freed those slaves in the southern states. It did nothing for the ones up north.

5. And this is the big one. If ANYBODY in this country deserves an apology or retribution for what the white people done to them...it should be the native Americans that were here before anybody else was, and had their people slaughtered, their homes and land taken away, and forced to live on small reservations in "no man's land".
