Totally unacceptable! Waving the Mexican flag at an election rally in the US, ought to be a crime!
This is the US of A and there is no room for foreign flags at a campaign rally. Damn assholes make a big deal about the Rebel flag, but want to fly their...**** Em!
Protesters assault Trump supporter in wheelchair...
No Donald Trump supporter is off limits to the leftists agitators — even a man in a wheelchair.
The Associated Press reports Trump supporters were “taunted” by the crowd outside the Albuquerque Convention Center on Tuesday evening.

The difference being....
The Rebel flag is (nearly) universally perceived as a statement of racism against african americans.
Except of course it's not. The majority of the country does not see the flag as a symbol of racism.

Then why is there such a problem? Or do you think maybe you have it wrong?
Not sure that's a true statement. Regardless, it is the Losers Flag.
Why? People claim it's a first amendment to wave a confederate flag anywhere and anytime they want. What's the difference? The confederate flag is foreign. So you agree foreign flags are bad?
I don't condone whats being done here. But seriously..... someone has to point out that this wouldn't bother Trump in the least.

The Mexican flag could mean a few things. "We're human too" is one of them. "We're doing our best to piss you guys off!" is another. You have exactly zero reasons to claim its unacceptable.

Damn, man, even most of us who think the US government shouldn't fly the Confederate flag don't think it should be illegal for individuals to fly it. Why should flying any flag at a protest be illegal?
I seem to remember 25% of whites view it as racist and 75% of blacks view it as racist.
So whether it is racist or not, it is certainly divisive.
Not foreign at all! That's total BS! The Confederate flag represented a large portion of Americans, right up into Virginia and W.Va. I say it is a First Amendment right, even thou the South lost the war. A Mexican flag represents another country and has no place in the United States, other than some barrio!
Of course it won't bother Trump, just makes him more determined .................as it does me to elect him.
That's a perverted view of what the Rebel Flag stands for! It's a symbol of our history....the Mexican flag is a symbol of beating the Mexicans into submission, after the Alamo!
That is correct! I'm probably older than many on this forum....and I have never regarded that flag as a racist anything! It's total made up bull****!
Nope, I don't have it wrong and neither does Henrin!
If that represents a losers flag, why are we bending over backwards to support the American Indians? They LOST the war too! Why do we go overboard supporting the Red man and trash the White man?
Because it represents a foreign nation and the Confederate flag does not.
Divisive is in the eye of liberals....it's their stock in trade!!
Hells bells.....I grew up thinking that it represented The Dukes of Hazard!:2razz:
Long Live the General Lee!

Um, a rather large portion of the Southwestern United States once was in fact Mexico, just like a large portion of the Southeastern once in fact the Confederate. The confederate flag does not represent the USA just like the Mexican flag doesn't. Of course, when all the "freedom" stuff about the confederate flag is being screamed, you know it's not about the freedom but about a certain flag.
Wow, you never read one US history book growing up? Explains it though.
I will concede that show was awesome.
First off the Confederate flag does represent a foreign country, fictional as it may be. It represents the Confederate States of America. The CSoA is distinct and separate from the USA. Even though the CSoA doesn't exist, because they lost, the Confederate flag is still a foreign flag. It is the flag of a loser rebellion that didn't have the strength to stand on its own. But it certainly is no flag of the USA.
As for your victims card trying to cry about how we treat native Americans better than white folk (nice use of racism), that's clearly false. American Indians had their land taken, we never gave it back. They were forced into reservations, and now the best thing they have going are casinos. We broke them, we still treat them as third class. We pay some superficial mind to them, pretending to care by getting upset at racist terms like Redskins. But we'll never give their land back.
Is that should have done with the Confederacy? Forced all of them onto reservations, taken their land, pay lip service to them but do nothing to actually help? Oh poor little white guy, can't fly his loser flag (actually they can). Oh how oppressed you must be. :Roll:
The victim card is weak. And the loser flag is the flag of another country that couldn't win it's own. It's not of the USA. It's just a flag of losers.
The Reb flag was part of America......the Mexican flag was NEVER part of America. We kicked Mexican ass after the fall of the Alamo in 1836 and the US took over the Southwest!
I have read plenty of history books, it was one of my favorite subjects in high school and college....and never once did I read that the Reb flag had anything to do with racism. The war really wasn't just about slavery either....it was a lot about economics, agriculture vs. industrial and many in the North, even had slaves of their own.
Over time it has been bastardized to be only about slavery.....and there was a lot more going on then that!
You must be reading some of those "liberal revised" history books!
:thumbs:
I fully disagree in that the Reb flag is a foreign flag....it represents a "unique" part of American history. To me it's as important to our history as Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie and Jack Daniels! The Reb spirit still lives on in the South, just like Moonshine. And growing up in the West, I have no problem with that whatsoever!
I do have a problem with both legal and illegals from Mexico coming here and telling us that the Mexican flag is prominent in America, by the way it is displayed.....it isn't .........and never should be!
I'd like to add that I have no problem with Hispanic people who are here legally.
I like all their food....I like their music.... and their culture.
But I maintain that if you live in America, you should obey all laws, respect our culture and you should be flying the American Flag at public events and ONLY the American Flag.
