You are talking about the party of the KKK, slavery and Jim Crowe. They should not have the right to fly the American flag.

Sometimes, what you purposely don't say is as important as what you do say.

You owe your values to drugs and crappy parents, not faith, loyalty or anything resembling integrity based on your post.

Italy and Germany, are the most.
Central America....? I'd hate to repeat myself knowing it'll sail over your head again.

Italy, Portugal, former Yugoslavia, Albania and Turkey have lot of people who struggle economically, which explains their desire to immigrate to a wealthier nation.

Anyway, the question was whether or not Swiss have open borders, and if they have lot of immigrants and the answer is that their border is as open as the one between Florida and Georgia, meaning is actually IS open contrary to the US border, which has nor been open for over 100 years. That, and that their population is 25% foreign born.

Ooopsie!

How can that be, though? The only reason there isn't a flag at the Dem debates was because they hate America, love Iran and are communists! The GOP is none of those things, so how could they NOT have a flag or 100 on stage?!?!?!?! Unpossible!

How about we skip all debates and have a flag twirling competition to pick the next President? Trump vs Biden, this time its for the FLAG.



Can you guys really be this tone deaf?


When your party has a problem with much of the country viewing their positions as critical of America and it's traditions and values .....

Why would you purposely put forward a visual that for many people, just confirms that image?

The party of "inclusiveness" wants to include everyone but patriotic Americans.

In that case one can only assume you have a very low opinion of American people and think the Swiss, Portuguese, Turkish, former Yugoslavians etc are somehow superior.

The questions (which I was answering) were what they were, so I am not sure why you'd want to re-write them to fit your agenda.

Share a pic of the flag displayed at GOP debates.
