My son has a huge flag of Ireland hanging in his garage and sometimes he wears a kilt to the Floggin Molly concerts. I have no problem with anyone wearing or displaying their flag, but on that note, I do believe that any student anywhere anytime should also be allowed to wear or fly our American flag. I think they protest too much.

I don't think anyone should were the flag or something that is representing the flag other then what is allowed within the US flag code. It's not patriotism, it is a fashion statement.

Conservatives pretending to not know what folks on this forum mean by the term teabagger is the new excuse conservatives use to ignore issues they have no answer for. Teaparty people referred to themselves as teabaggers and I shall continue to do the same.

Some of those supporting conservative views here at c-d used the term proudly, until they discovered the term had multiple meanings (it has at least 3 that I know of). But they even took that and created their own distorted definition.

I was not aware that teabaggers had a flag, but even so I don't think any flag showing a certain sexual act would be allowed in the parade. Don't you think so?

Will schools kick out kids that wear clothes with American flags on them during St Patty's day?

Any american citizen should be upset when they see any countries flag flown here WHILE THE ALIEN OR ALIEN SUPPORTERS ARE PROTESTING.. Are the Italian or Irish folks in the street protesting? Even a 3rd grader can see the diference . The mexicans (and others) here should show their flag only during times of international celibration and NEVER when they are complaining or trying to unite for causes which wouold set them apart from legal american citizens.Anyone who cant understand this simple answer needs to got to OZ and see if the wizard can give them a BRAIN...lol

I don't believe the Americans of Irish or Italian descent on those holidays are interested in taking over and splitting off a large swath of our country. Furthermore, I suspect most of them will be here legally.
