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.
What’s sad is that most of those idiots are American citizens but they’ve been brought up to think that their Mexican heritage comes first! My maternal grandparents came here from Poland. They talked in Polish at home but not when they went out AND they would NOT allow their children, who were born here, to speak Polish even at home. They told them that they were Americans and should speak English! My Mom understood Polish but I never heard a word of it out of her mouth. I love all the Polish heritage but no matter what....I AM AN AMERICAN!!

With only 365/6 days in a year and thousands of years of history, there’s bound to be some “coincidences”. Just look at April 19...
Bump for Flag Flaunting Day.
Think about flying the Arizona flag as well, I will. Here in FL.....
I’m in for this one... ;-)
BTTT
bttt
I thought this was Mr. Thompson :^)
better yet...
Cute.....LOL!
They need to make some new movies of those. Even though LA Confidential was a bit cheesy, it was fun to watch.
“Who is Jim Thompson?”
John Galt’s alterego
I think that flaunting Old Glory on September 16th would have much greater impact. That's Mexican Independence Day.
That is an excellent idea.
"The Giants Win The Pennant, The Giants Win The Pennant!!!"
I’m in.
Technically, it’s against the flag ettiquite to have it printed on hats, shirts, and stuff, but I will make sure our house if flying on our porch all summer long.
