While I agree with the sentiments of this gentleman, it is still LEGAL to fly the Mexican, Confederate, or any other flag you want under the FIRST AMENDMENT! How many times do I need to repeat myself?

Interestingly, on this thread and a few others it would appear that the majority are opposed the the First Amendment and are opposed to property rights as they are advocating theft of flags.

That may or may not be technically true. What is beyond dispute is that flying the flag of Mexico above the US flag on US soil is a declaration of war to millions of Americans. Civil wars have started over such issues.

U.S. Constitution, Article 4 Section 4:

"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,

and shall protect each of them against Invasion;"


Invasion: \In*va"sion\, n. [L. invasio: cf. F. invasion. See Invade.] [1913 Webster]

1. The act of invading; the act of encroaching upon the rights or possessions of another; encroachment; trespass.

So presumably if the army of a foreign invader were on our soil, you’d argue we couldn’t do anything about it, due to the Second Amendment?
