These young people are our future “leaders”. I don’t know whether to laugh or to cry.
I walked through a county courthouse square
On a park bench, an old man was sittin' there.
I said, "Your old court house is kinda run down,
He said, "Naw, it'll do for our little town".
I said, "Your old flag pole is leaned a little bit,
And that's a ragged old flag you got hangin' on it".
He said, "Have a seat", and I sat down,
"Is this the first time you've been to our little town" He said "I don't like to brag, but we're kinda proud of
That Ragged Old Flag
"You see, we got a little hole in that flag there,
When Washington took it across the Delaware.
and It got powder burned the night Francis Scott Key sat watching it,
writing "Say Can You See"
It got a rip in New Orleans, with Packingham & Jackson tugging at its seams.
and It almost fell at the Alamo
beside the Texas flag,
But she waved on though.
She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville,
And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill.
There was Robert E. Lee and Beauregard and Bragg,
And the south wind blew hard on
That Ragged Old Flag
"On Flanders Field in World War I,
She got a big hole from a Bertha Gun,
She turned blood red in World War II
She hung limp, and low, a time or two,
She was in Korea, Vietnam, She went where she was sent
by her Uncle Sam.
She waved from our ships upon the briny foam
and now they've about quit wavin' back here at home
in her own good land here She's been abused,
She's been burned, dishonored, denied an' refused,
And the government for which she stands
Has been scandalized throughout out the land.
And she's getting thread bare, and she's wearin' thin,
But she's in good shape, for the shape she's in.
Cause she's been through the fire before
and i believe she can take a whole lot more.
"So we raise her up every morning
And we bring her down slow every night,
We don't let her touch the ground,
And we fold her up right.
On second thought
I *do* like to brag
Cause I'm mighty proud of
That Ragged Old Flag"
Laura Ingraham played a clip of one of these brats saying “ This is our holiday and the American kids disrespected us ...”
If you’re in Mexico on the Fourth of July- try throwing a similar tantrum and see what happens.
So this one guy dons a ‘49ers Isaac Bruce jersey to go protest the lack of respect for Mexicans?
As a part of earning a diploma, require them to wear an America flag tee shirt at least once a week.
These people don’t understand our culture. You don’t demand respect.....you earn it. That’s one good reason they need to go home.
We are being surrounded and marginalized.
F-ing losers.
You want respect... Get a dog.
You need validation... See the valet in parking lot
“Respect” in this context is the bastardized definition used by gangs and biker clubs - if I don’t like the way you looked at me, then my gang’s going to take you down...
with your taxes.
FU punks. They should all get suspension for acting like a-holes.
I wonder why the cops didn’t arrest the students for committing a felony by putting the Mexican Flag above a upside down American Flag as depicted in the background in the pic above in earlier posts? Have a look.
“ This is our holiday and the American kids disrespected us ...”
These demanders are not American kids themselves??
If I was the Principal I would have an American flag shirt day and then play the movie “The Alamo” starring John Wayne.
“Mexican-American students felt the students were being disrespectful on the only day they celebrate their heritage while students sporting red, white and blue said it violated their First Amendment rights.”
How does red, white and blue violate their First Amendment rights? Did the T-shirts jump off of the body and wrap around their mouths so they couldn’t speak? Did the shirts jump off and rip off the other shirts? No.
These Mexican Americans are the ones that violated the First Amendment rights of the students that wore the American T-shirts. They are the ones that are taking the rights away.
I am not against these Mexican Americans wearing their colors. They can wear the colors every day of the year. I don’t care if they wear them the 4th of July. I don’t care. It is their choice and it is their lives. Wear what they want to wear. I don’t care. I am not a weak pansy that will be offended if someone wears Mexican clothes on the 4th of July. I don’t care. I will share my pride and if you are with me, good, if you are not, fine. It is a free country.
The fact is is these weak pansies are protesting because someone showed their First Amendment rights by wearing a nonoffensive T-shirt. Nevermind, I forgot that the American Flag is offensive to liberals. The fact is liberals only think that they have First Amendment right while tramping on other people’s and I am tired of it. This is a free country and if you can’t wear the red, white, and blue, than you can’t wear the red, white and green. Fair is fair and it is equal justice, not minority justice (aka social justice).
Mexican Americans get over it. You have the right to wear your red, white and green any time you want to. Don’t trample on someone else’s rights if they decide to wear something different. I don’t care what day of the year it is. First Amendment rights do not stop for a group of people for one day, no matter what day it is.
Dropouts should get respect? Demanding respect is not respectful.
Bump. They shjould eb arrested for attmepting to overthrow the US.
