I feel the desire to go to a public place and Burn the Mexican Flag. After all, I have a Constitutional right to do so.

Anyone want to join me?

Default Huh?

Someone is going to hit you on the head with a burrito if you do that. Why would you do the same thing to a flag that you hate done to yours?

It makes no sense, there are better ways, but your point is made, you were making a point and not serious about burning, right?

I have no desire, but I am pissed that many liberals will claim that burning American Flag is protected by the First Amendment, but will say that burning the Mexican Flag is hate crime.

Burning any flag is stupid. The flag always represents the best of any country. If you disagree with current political ideas - don't burn the proud symbol of the essence of the whole country.

The American Flag has been burned - often - by those who oppose our way of life. Mexicans have burned our flag then tell us we have to provide for them -

Well, the tide is turning - its payback time.

Flags are transient. In 500 years, no current flag will mean a damned thing.

People who get all goose-bumpy and nationalistic at the sight of symbols need to go the way of Stalin.

Remember - brave men and women died protecting our Flag. So, forgive me when I get all "goose bumpy" when I see the flag and think about friends who did not come back.

No. They defended ideals, not a piece of cloth.

So, in your mind two wrongs make a right?? My best friend is Mexican and would take great offense at that. He ALSO would take great offense at anyone burning the American flag since he was born here and is an American citizen. My stance is anyone burning an American OR Mexican flag should not be tolerated. Unfortunately, it is people like you that are contributing to the upcoming race war.
