I am posting this announcement with Jim Thompson's blessing and support.
Patriotic Americans all across the nation are being called on to 'flaunt the American flag' on Wednesday, May 12, 2010 by wearing patriotic-themed clothing such as American flag style shirts, blouses, ties or jackets; American flag lapel pins or brooches; and by displaying the American flag at home, on your car or at your desk at work. You can even carry an American flag with you as you make your rounds on Wednesday and really flaunt that flag!
This is being done as a show of support for the American families in Morgan Hill, California whose students attending Live Oak High School were ordered to remove their American flag style shirts so as to not offend Mexican students on Cinco de Mayo last week.
Offended Mexican students walked out of class the next day and staged a protest march demanding "respect" for "our holiday" by demanding Americans not display the American flag on American soil.
One protester, Luis Jimenez, was videotaped by KNTV-TV saying, "Yesterday, it was our holiday, Cinco de Mayo. All of, like, the Americans thought they could wear their flags and just flaunt them in front of us."
Another Mexican protester was videotaped by KRON-TV ripping an American flag out of the hands of an American that same day.
In response, please send this message: We Americans will flaunt our flag on our soil anytime we please. If some folks don't like that, we have an old saying for them, "America, love it or leave it!"
Please e-mail and post this call to action on blogs, Facebook, Twitter and send it to you local and national Tea Party groups and talk radio hosts.
(Note to all the race-baiting liberals and weak-kneed David Brooks types, this is not about race, or even about Mexico. This is about Americans standing up for America on American soil. If you can't handle displays of patriotism, the same message above applies to you too.)
If anyone asks who started this and why May 12, just say it was started by a TEA-ed off American and May 12 just seems like a good day to wear the red, white and blue.
I think his name is Jim Robertson but I'll give you a bump anyway.
>>For SSgt Esau Gonzales an our country..<<
Prayers for SSgt Gonzales’ family and his soul (which is assured for his sacrifice). People who don’t understand what the Red White and Blue mean should just leave. SSgt Gonzales’ sacrifice is too good for them.
We are all Jim Thompson..
>>I think his name is Jim Robertson but I’ll give you a bump anyway. <<
I thought it was Tim Jamison...
I am Jim Thompson.
ONE WORD...LEAVE!
Go fly 'your flag' in your country!
I am going to buy a new flag for my front porch and I am going to fly it everyday (like my hubby and I do anyway) but on May 12th it is going to be BRIGHT and CLEAN and ALL SPIFFY!!!
Off to Lowe's tomorrow to get one.
I am really angry regarding Kristinn's post because I was totally unaware of what the Mexican students did the following day and did not know of the teacher's call for revolution.
What is going on in CA with education, anyw?ay
“We can call it Cinco De Bye-Yall
I LOVE IT!!!
bttt
Any Radio/TV lined up this week?
I don't know if you have a ping list, if so, add me.
Mexico: Great enough to wave its flag about.....but not good enough to live there, apparently.
Agree.... I will post a thread on the day after with pictures....
Stay Safe Sir....
I’m IN. (As if I need an excuse for this...)
I am in!
Exactly, if Mexico is sooo f’ing great, then why are we even having this discussion? All these so-called proud Mexicans would be home where they belong, living in that 3rd world toilet.
You know, I used to spend my hard-earned dollars in Mexico, but that’s over now. I like AMERICANS better. Planning lots of trips to RED states in the future. God bless every hard working, RESPONSIBLE American.
All: Cinco De Mayo is not the Mexican independence day and gets little recognition in Mexico.
However, May 5, 1818 is Karl Marx' birthday.
But wait! They told me I was Jim Thompson?!!!! Wait.... what did that reporter say to say???
LOL
