Not only that but I'm laughing at the "they cared for the rights of minority groups."

How in the hell can the visual image of the American flag, on American soil, be offensive? This is America! The flag can be shown on any day, at any time during day light hours. You don't have to like the flag. You don't have to like what it stands for. You don't have to like anything about this country, but it is America and that's our flag. You're saying we can't show our own flag, on our own soil, for fear it might offend someone? Not on my watch brother!!
If this were the other way around, not allowing a child to wear their "other country of origin's flag" on their shirt at school, during some American patriotic celebration, we'd hear nothing but racist remarks and lawsuit from the ACLU.
But let the US flag be worn and we are in the wrong?
It doesn't matter the who's and why's, if the US flag cannot be displayed then there shouldn't be a Cinco de Mayo celebration at school and the principal and school board should be made to publicly explain their actions.
Reading this gives everyone a real taste of what's it's like living on the boarder and why 70% of Arizonans back the new legislation there.

It just isn't relevant. If I wanted to show up at a Mexican festival/party/rally/protest/whatever, on American soil, waving the flag and singing God Bless America, I have the right to do that. I might get shot, but that ain't the point. It's American soil! It's an American flag and I'll show it where I damn well please, least on my own soil.
Edit! In re-reading my post, "I might get shot, but that ain't the point". Well, that's the whole point. If I can't show my flag in my own country without fear of discipline or harm, something has gone very, very wrong in this country.
Gee, you are newly registered...imagine that!
If they did not, we would not have passed the legislation, etc. that has afforded minority groups legal rights...
I am not talking about the "good old days" of slavery, the way in which early Americans treated the native Americans, the way in which America treated women...those are the dark ages of America.
I am talking about when America became a more civilized country...now the baggers and klannish are longing to go back to the stone age of America...

I doubt they are...
It has more to do with the way in which kids treat other kids, which is nothing new.
Typically a kid will just act out the parents belief systems, so ignorant redneck Fox News watching parents produce the same in their children.
There is generally a natural process of individuation among youth that usually brings all their childhood indoctrination into question, and they often are seen rebelling against the establishments of their youth...but in the case of the right wingers who are mentally defective, odds are they just pass along the genetic defect to their children who never go through the process of individuation and thinking for themselves...
