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.
He is one sorry bastard!
I have it on good authority that he invented Karl Rove's Hurricane machine.
He is the guy who gave a shotgun to Dick Cheney and then yelled "shoot"!
He is the person who first said, "Butterfly Ballots would be great in Florida!"
I personally saw a photo of him blowing up the levees in New Orleans.
He is the guy who told the CIA Saddam had WMDs.
If it weren't for Jim Thompson, Valery Plame's identity as a CIA agent would still be a secret.
I heard that he spends his spare time melting ice burgs while wearing a t-shirt that says "screw the polar bears".
He is one bad dude.
That’s not just a rumor. It’s all true and I can prove it.
I think that flaunting Old Glory on September 16th would have much greater impact. That's Mexican Independence Day.
But heck, I'm up for flaunting Old Glory any old time.
Threasd bump.
I just bought some new flag T-shirts at Kohl’s yesterday, on sale. It’s going to be tough choosing which one out of my collection to wear :-)
BTW: Yesterday, at a pizza parlor, run by Italians, the owner commented on the flag shirt I was wearing. He was disgusted by the actions of that high school administration.

Oh Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! That has to be an accident or coincidence. Karl Marx’s birthday? OH PUKE!
With so much mis-use of Old Glory for photo-ops in DC, I’m reverting to the Gadsden.
A couple of months ago Olberman named "Jim Thompson, owner of the far right winged website, Free Republic" as one of the 'Worst Persons Ever'. A distinction we all hope to live up to as well.
Jim Thompson doesn't wear a watch. HE decides what time it is.
Walmart sells bunting.
I fly the flag every day, but will make an extra effort this day.
By the way, how in hell can a person born on US soil be a US citizen if the child’s parents are here illegally? A topic for another thread, maybe . . .
“Cinco De Mayo”
This entire 5th of May crap was created by the Corona Beer Company..nothing more, nothing less.
I fly the flag everyday.
Yes.
