I dont really have an issue with someone having pride in their home country,nationality,etc
Its the people who come here and refuse to learn english,etc and expect to live..
Exactly as they did in the country they came from.
I grew up overseas and made the effort to learn the language,culture,etc anything less..
Is being disrespectful.
Well then don't get all worked up in knotts when you see someone fly the Confederate flag.
Never cared much about people flying that or any other flag. When I lived in rural Oregon, I saw a great deal more people flying the ol' Stars and Bars than the Mexican flag...Out in the hippy communities people would fly peace flags or hemp flags. Whatever, it's a free country.
If immigrants are legal, I could care less what flags they fly. My Polish-speaking immigrant grandparents use to fly the White Eagle(the coat of arms of Poland)outside their homes and communty centers...
Am I the only one who gets sick of people moving here from other countrys and waving their home flags in our face and we aren't susposed to say anything about it, I can say that if the hispanic population would stop acting like they are still in Mexico and start taking pride in where they are at and wave an American flag or two more people would think that they actually wanted to be a citizen of this country and maybe try and help them become one, The same goes for Puerto Ricans waving their flags from Puerto Rico, which is a U.S. territory, not a country, if you've ever been to Miami then you'll know what i'm talking about, I'm not prejudice or anything and have no problem with any race, but when you come to America you show her some respect, it seems like talking about your old girlfriend to your new girlfriend all the time and after a while she gets tried of it, When in America act like you're in America, we don't care what country you came from as long as you are productive and helpful in this country and not a criminal.
They do this because they can do it and be protected by our Constitution and our laws. However, too many of them are criminals in that they came into our country illegally which is against the law.

I'm sure that when our service men and women risk their lives for us to have that protection and freedom they weren't thinking "Gee I'm willing to get killed for that guy to fly his Greek flag", they more than likely are doing it for American interests, and to all of the ones who want to remember home, why not just move back, I'm of African descent, but I don't fly a flag and have no desire to, I'm American, everything else takes a back seat.
