Karfar is probably clueless as to the meaning of that "symbolic" gesture. So I will explain:

When the American flag is turned upside down and placed underneath the rag of a foreign entity it is a signal of distress.

That being said: My hatred for Mexico is increasing by the second . . . ..

Plenty of Americans have burned flags in protest in this country. So would you blame all Americans for that?

White people have burned flags in protest. Would you blame all white people for that?

Get over it.

I think anybody that burns the US flag, except as a proper means of disposal, should be charged with a crime. To me it is NOT freedom of speech, it's an act of sedition.

Really? Naw . . . you're kidding?

Your defense of a mexican burning and/or desecrating the American flag vs. an American burning the American flag is the equivalent of the defense of a rapist saying a woman asked to be raped because her dress was too short.

If an American burns the flag of this country in this country it is representative of a form of protest against the government. If a foreigner burns our flag on our soil it is the equivalent of a declaration of war.

Does defending the indefensible ever end for the illegal alien bunch?

Get over it? We should "get over" illegal aliens desecrating our flag? The very least these ingrates could do is show a little respect for the country they have illegally invaded and availed themselves of myriad tax-funded services. How dare you tell us to get over it!

A flag is a flag. I don't disrespect any flag, but to me its just a banner. What it symbolizes is more important to me.
So many people who are obsessive with that piece of cloth and its rituals could not possibly keep up with all of them.

I don't parade around with all kinds of American flag paraphenelia, but it doesnt make me less American.
