No!
It was an act of patriotic heroism.
You want to fly that POS Mexican flag over MY flag?
I think not!
I'm one of those "rough men", that stood ready to do harm to those that would disturb our way of life and without whom, you would not have had the peaceful sleep you enjoyed.
And although I'm retired, now, I still stand ready to do harm to those that would desecrate my flag, if need be.
That piece of cloth is many things to me, not the least of which is the fact that it is representative of every thing good about my beloved country. When I see it proudly waving in a slight breeze, I am reminded of the great men that formed the republic for which it stands.
Sounds corny, huh? But I have shed my life-blood for that flag, I would do so again, for if I ever allowed that flag to be disrespected and desecrated in my presence and stood idle and did not defend it, then I may as well be dead and all my ideals die with me. I suspect the brave man in the video felt the same way.
Vandalism, you say?
No, my dear...vandalism would be if the hero in the clip had ripped the pole off the building, kicked a hole in the side of the building, urinated on the POS Mexican flag and then wrapped the owner in the flag before igniting it.
That would have been vandalism...and damned funny, too.
You,...and all the other kumbayah-chanting, birkenstock-wearing free-loving hippies need to wake up and see that our beloved country is being invaded.
We are fighting on two fronts: the illegal mexican invaders that suck the taxes out of our pockets via their abuse of our medical facilities and welfare agencies and the insidious invasion by the islamic/muslim nutballs with their koran and their jihadist crap.
But no, you'll never see it.
Not as long as you're blinded by your "free speech" silliness.
If you really, really think that flying the mex flag above the Flag of the United States of America, in America, is a "free speech" issue, then, darling, all I can say is...You, Jane Fonda and John F'n Kerry need to get together and form a Mutual Admiration Society.
As for me, and my kind, we'll keep on keeping on, laying waste to your version of "free speech" and making sure the mex flag or the islamic/muslamic flag stays exactly where it needs to be: below the Flag of the United States of America and beneath my heel.
I salute the brave man in the video.
I also pledge here and now, that if he is arrested for "vandalism", I will pay his legal fees to defend himself in whatever court of law necessary.
I've also got a crisp, new one-hundred dollar bill that says he will never be convicted by a jury of his peers.
What have you got?
I’m right there beside you.
But how do your really feel, Sarge?
I really wish you wouldn’t bottle up your feelings.
;-P
Seriously, this event, and the recent similar one at the New Mexico college, shows that real Americans in the Southwest have had more than enough. Our political class better start paying attention.
Here, that must have worked up a thirst...
>I also pledge here and now, that if he is arrested for “vandalism”, I will pay his legal fees to defend himself in whatever court of law necessary.<
You will have to share his legal defense fees with me.
Very well said.
Thanks for your service and continuing to defend this country. I wish there were more who would stand up to defend her against this invasion.
Texas now has some businesses that accept pesos. Many local commercials from the big city have someone speaking with a mexican accent. In this year alone one city has had 15,000 car burglaries. That doesn’t count home and other burglaries. For instance if you’re brave enough to go to one of their malls someone may drive up as you’re leaving to ask for directions and then point a gun in your face and take your purse.
There’s at least one or two shootings every day.
It’s going downhill fast, and our government just fiddles and twiddles their thumbs. I guess it IS up to citizens like this brave man to take matters into his own hands.
