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.
Thanks!! God Bless America!
May 12th Flaunt your American Flag day And my Birthday!!
Woohoo!!
“Cinco De Mayo is not the Mexican independence day and gets little recognition in Mexico.”
Wasn’t the faux “holiday” started by Bennigans in conjunction with some beer company to create a day to drink even more than usual? I thought I heard/read that somewhere.
Jim Thompson is the former Illinois Governor who is as corrupt as the day is long. He is also Pro-illegal alien.
Wow, never ceases to amaze me, all this time I thought your real name was Cripple Creek!!
Thats NOT jim Thompson, I know! Jim Thompson use to be my governor! And I have lived in Illinois my whole life so I should know!
Jack Bauer wears Jim Thompson pajamas!
Flags will fly at workerbee’s home on Wednesday!
We will be doing Our part, and will spread the Word.

Something to put on your TO DO List for Wednesday.
Remember...Cinco de Mayo is “Loan Default Day,” a day celebrating Mexicans’ shooting those who came to collect on loans they stopped paying off.
Jim Thompson is a great American!
Thanks for the post kristinn. I emailed it off to many on my email list.
What is incredible to me is the demand for respect by those people where absolutely none is offered by them as they heartily consume all the blessed gifts of Americanism that Americans worked so damned hard to achieve.
So many of the Mexican people have become citizens of the USA legally, and have been a part of those blessings achieved, so why in the Hell can’t those that scream for respect gain that respect as so many others of Mexican heritage have, legally.
Somewhere along the line something got screwed up.
I took down my Old Glory on the day our Governor Goodhair (TX) decreed that all American flags in TX were to be lowered in honor of Ted (aka “the swimmer”) Kennedy. I hoisted the Gadsen flag that day, and it will remain there until the obammy is out of office.
I’ll wear a flag t-shirt, though.
Goodness..... just whose country is this?
We need Toby Keith to sing that song again... Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue!
Not your typical ping to Logan’s Prayer Warriors...ping!
Serious, who is this mysterious Big Jim Thompson? I bet the libs must be on pins and needles.
That’s a great idea! I have a fresh flag and a new flagpole all ready to hang. I’ll make sure it’s up by Wednesday.
I’ll add more ‘flair’ to my apron at work...I have a pretty, sparkly American flag pin I can add. :)
You....you....REBEL YOU!!!!!!!!
I know. It’s both a Blessing and a Curse, LOL! :)
