Mexico Flag flying over SD County Fair..!! [Wrong]

Posted on 06/13/2006 9:25:37 PM PDT by jddqr

My family and I went to opening day of the San Diego County Fair a few days ago. Right after entering the fair gates, we were shocked and disgusted to see the MEXICAN FLAG flying proudly overhead, sharing space with the California Flag and the US flag. Here's a snapshot I took:

I literally just stopped in my tracks and couldn't believe what I was seeing. What's next, the Mexican flag flying over Fourth of July celebrations???

"I detect the odor of a LibertyPost troll."

I thought I caught a whiff of a Stormfront troll, but hey, stink is stink. LOL!

See the graphics above. It doesn't appear to be.

I think it is indeed the flag of Mexico.

Just another sign of reconquista.

I've been a life-long conservative but never bothered to really get involved. Seeing this really pushed me over the edge, though, and I decided to sign up.

I understand that you have had your share of creeps and DU-infiltrators, though... completely understandable. Is there a better place I should have posted this? :-)

They're usually one in the same.

You could have at least bothered to do a better job.

The picture looks like the product of a Photoshop nooblet.

Should he have provided a Spanish translation for you?

Nah. At the Fort Worth Rodeo, the flag of Mexico is flown alongside the flags of Spain, France, the Confederacy, Texas, and the United States. Every year, for the past 30.

No big deal.

Since you know that we've had our "share of creeps and DU-infiltrators", then you know that you are suspect for having posted a (1) vanity as a first post, (2) posted it correctly, and (3) posted as a first vanity post an inflammatory subject. But you have also added the fact that you know about trolls here from DU. Many here will find it strange that a first time poster knows about trolls and DU. Care to expound?

It does get tiresome does it not. Just another attempt to start an internet rumor so this photo is spread all over the internet. I suppose that Six Flags over Texas will be under indictment next

The picture is clearly a fake but why let facts get in the way of a good rant?

If you are for U.S. values, welcome aboard.
Check my date. I was a long time looker, but didn't think FR had the bandwidth for me to bother posting.

Then, prior to the election, things got hectic and seemed to take off.

Here I am. Or as Martin Luther said, "Hier stand ich, ich kann nicht anders!" - meaning (for me) my positions do not change from what Goldwater/Reagan posited so long ago.

The fair opened on the 10th and will run thru the 4th of July.

The photo looks genuine to me, but what do I know...lol?

I'm looking at it in Photoshop.

Look closely at the suspect flag. Look @ the discoloration of the sky around it. That same discoloration doesn't appear around the other two flags.

That says to me the flag in question comes from a different image. Trust me, it isn't hard to do but it is hard to do well and this troll didn't do a very good job.

Also this flag appears to have blue in it. Lord knows we have seen a million mexican flags on here but I dont recall any having a huge panel of blue in it

Care to expound?

Why would he/she need to expound, and who elected you as censor for this site? Just curious.

I was just about to point out the same thing.

I watched this forum for some time before I decided to join and it took a LONG time for me to post anything.
Anyone who peruses this site will see what happens to trolls. Because he is 'aware' of what happens here is certainly no idication of ill-will. Most of the times the trolls post something we all recognize for what it is. At least he has had the courtesy of responding and putting forth his reasoning.

Lighten up, Francis!

*sigh* OK here is the flag part of the image, cropped out.

Obviously I could have photoshopped a Mexican flag into the picture but don't you think I would have picked one where the logo is a bit more prominent if I did so?

Also to the person who is surprised I know about terminology here, I have been a lurker for a while, but as I said before, this just aggravated me enough to post. Maybe I shouldn't have though :-(

In any case, kind thanks to the welcomers. I'll endeavor not to make any newbie-mistakes in the future :)
