I remember a few years back during Pete Wilson’s time in CA…There was some initiative to curb extending benefits to illegal immigrants in CA that passed. There were massive protests and during some of the demonstration, folks started waiving Mexico’s flag…

Now I can understand if one is at a sporting event…

But at a political rally. I don’t understand. If Mexico is so great and such a great country, or what are those people who waved those flags doing here in the U.S.? Seems like some people want to eat their cake and have it too.

Brian, sometimes I wonder how you can contradict yourself. You talk about being a bleating liberal, and yet you want to regulate where/how a flag can be displayed and about flag etiquette, and yet consistently think other countries are better than than U.S… I don’t get it. You seem really confused.

I oppose flag burning and desecration, but then I never claimed to be a bleating liberal either.

Btw, what do you think about the DNC throwing away bags of flags after the Denver convention…Or do you think that was a story fabricated too?

Also Brain I would like for you to personally advocate my celebration of the July 4th holiday celebrating American independence from an imperial Britain in Mexico. I would like police and governmental protection [/quote]
Jim, there are millions of Americans living abroad and they do so because they can enjoy a pretty good living.

In foreign countries, the police will give Americans better protection than their own citizens; because they know that if something happens to an American, our State Department comes down hard on them.

Go to any country where is there an American presence or American tourists. Americans celebrate the 4th of July just fine. Hotels have special events for Thanksgiving and Christmas. They even celebrate Halloween.

In the end, it doesn’t matter how other people treat us. It’s how we treat others that is important.
