Americans Fight Back
American Border Patrol website ^ | Jun 5, 2011 | American Border Patrol

Posted on 06/13/2011 8:59:21 AM PDT by grayeagle

For three years running American Border Patrol celebrated the Fourth of July by placing thousands of American flags on the border fence at its Arizona ranch. Each flag had a message from an American citizen attached. Last year more than 16,000 flags were placed on the fence (10,000 were new).

But the Obama administration decided it didn't like the flags and messages, so it sent U.S. Border Patrol agents out in the middle of the night to tear them down and thrown them on the ground.

This Fourth of July, American flags will return to the border -- but on private property 60' north of the border fence.

If you want your flag and message to join them, send an email to info@americanborderpatrol.com - or call Melissa on at 520-803-7703 (M-F 8 am to 3 pm Pacific Time).

Throw the flags on the ground ? There are people, on our side of the border, who would DO that?!

Yes, there are. They’re called “liberals.”

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Is this what the leftists would do? 60 feet away on private property? Somehow, I don’t think so. Conservatives are so law abiding, while the Marxists do so only when it advances their agenda.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

We must call them what they are: Communists!

Scratch a liberal and under his thin skin is a socialist. Dig a little deeper and you will soon find the Marxist nuclear fuel rod that drives everything he says and does.

It is indicative of antiamericanism that the Obama administration and BP command staff would take this action.

It is likely they used administrative law forbidding the posting of anything on US government property to force most BP line agents to remove the flags against their personal respect for the National Ensign. I suspect many acted only because their jobs were at stake.

“........in the middle of the night to tear them down and thrown them on the ground.”

That despicable Bastard, Obama, thinks he’s already won and feels free to trash and disrespect our flag..

Taking the flags down was wrong, throwing them on the ground is disgusting..... unforgivable. I don’t see this any different than burning our flag.

I don’t give a damn what color you are, if you support and/or vote for this treasonist Bastard, you are a traitor and an enemy within.

IMPEACH Obama NOW..........

Socialism is Communism sold by the drink.

Liberalism is just a little smaller glass.

Progressives simply insist on Disney characters on the glasses so their kids can drink with 'em.

Why yes. Even worse, these are paramilitary federal law enforcement officers - Border Patrol.

That flag and all it represents is what put a badge and a uniform on them. And that was the way they treated it.

Exactly so. There is no compromising with your enemy, either.
