"She said that people of Arab descent are feeling fearful."

People of Arab descent who are American's or residents? If they are American's, they should be d***ed comfortable with our Flag; if they are not American's, it should not matter.

In any event, they should not be criticising from fear; but being supportive. If they want us to be copmfortable with them; they need to be comfortable with our country's symbol that represents the very Freeedom's we ALL are sharing.

Seems to me this is the worse PR Arabs,American or otherwise can engage in.

Anyone who feels &ltwhine>uncomfortable</whine> with the flag of the United States should not enjoy the freedom and protections that it represents.

OUT!

"She said that people of Arab descent are feeling fearful."

I'm getting a tad bit tired of hearing this crap. I'm not belittling Arab Americans, but there are a few more things higher on the priority list than how Arab Americans are "feeling" at the moment. Christ, these guys get on TV and act as if the world revolves around them. HELLO????????? Is anyone home. We have 7000+ dead people in NY ... and a war to wage ... there will be time for "feeling" later ... right now, just be an AMerican!

Those who are uncomfortable are free to leave.

Thanks. . .I knew that, just in a hurry and did not think, really I am sorry. . .also just noticed it should be 'comfortable' and not 'copmfortable'. . .there might be more mistakes. . .I will go back and check. . .later, when I have some real time.

(usually proof a little better, but good to know there are 'good-eyes' out there.)

[bytesmith]

Where are all the Americans of Arab descent demonstrating in the streets in support of America? Huh?

"Anyone who feels uncomfortable with the flag of the United States should not enjoy the freedom and protections that it represents. . . .OUT!"

. . .sounds good, but of course, that would be mean that most of California would be relocating, Maine. . .Vermont. . .half our Congress; and Amherst might just become a memory.

"freep away..."

freeper12, it's kind of hard to freep without e-mail addresses.
Jeez! Do I have to do EVERYTHING for you people? ;-)

Tharp said that "there are a lot of people who feel uncomfortable with the flags."

New Hampshire state motto: "Live Free or Die"

Kenton Tharp will advocate changing that for those who are uncomfortable to "Stick your head in the sand and be a chicken s***"

From the article I linked to in post #10:

'"We'll do the best we can to respond," Town Manager Barry Del Castilho told the Select Board Monday.
"We have no idea how many e-mails departments will get."'

Barry, something tells me your e-mail server will soon be put to the test. Call it a hunch.

PROMISES ... PROMISES!

Typical of Amherst, the town with the motto: "let others die so we may have the freedom to opress patriotism".

"there are a lot of people who feel uncomfortable with the flags."

There are a lot of people uncomfortable looking at men in turbans. Perhaps we should ask them to remove them. Hmmmmmm?

Why do men take their hats off to show respect but women don't?

A Bump for Mr. Kelley!

Is Amherst having a Veterans day parade?
