Will Teabaggers be up in arms when they see Irish flags and Italian flags during St. Patty's and Columbus day?

Google :define teabaggers", and the first thing that comes up is the wikipedia page which describes the act very well, and even has a picture of a man and woman to demonstrate the act.

This is as trivia as trivia gets, but I know the term was introduced in a TV show and even then it was not used is a homosexual way.

What makes it be a homosexual act a wife sucks on her husband's balls? Think about it.

No, the Irish and Italian Americans will not be up in arms or have mass arrests. Sometimes, people forget their history of certain cultures and that is a shame. The Irish and Italians have learned how to assimilate into American society, even though they have been the product of much discrimination themselves, that many would like to forget. Ever hear of "Infamia". It was only the worst lyncing in American history. Guess which nationality it happened to.....Italians, in New Orleans.....

The real question is whether the St. Patricks' Day and Columbus Day marchers will be offended if they see an American flag.

The Cubans are the United States' chosen people. For 45 years, no Cuban who has made it to this country has had to worry about the legality of his/her status - there is no such thing as an 'illegal' Cuban. They can go to work immediately upon entering this country and they receive assistance immediately upon entering this country - no need to qualify for anything.

the one group you won't likely see represented at these marches: Cuban Americans. Why? Whereas all other illegal immigrants run from the law as long as they are in the United States, Cubans run to the law.

Thanks to the U.S. 'wet foot, dry foot' policy (and the 1966 Cuban Adjustment Act which left the door open to Cubans who arrive by illegal means), as soon as an undocumented Cuban sets foot in the United States, no matter how he arrived, he will be entitled to government-funded adjustment assistance. After one year, he can apply for permanent residency. His path to citizenship was secure from the moment he arrived.Immigration Reform and the Cuban Adjustment Act: For Some, A Path to Citizenship - The Washington Note

Consequently, Cubans do not "influence" S. Florida, they OWN it.

I agree to a point but manufacturers seem to plaster it all over every T shirt they make. And please, tell that to the hispanic activists who seem to like to drape themselves and disrespect our flag in their little parades. Where is your outrage over this? I am aware of the flag code of conduct and the picture of the beloved Bill Ayers standing on it makes me sick.

If they came before 1921, all they had to do was get on a boat. The steel companies went around Europe, especially Poland and Italy, offering to pay people's way over to work in the steel mills. We would take as many as would come.

People constantly tearing into Fox news and the tea party seem to be control freaks.

Of course they are intolerant control freaks. They really believe that ALL people should think the same and when you don't you're labeled as dangerous, whcih you really are to them. Smart people who can think for themselves are their biggest fear because they will be the hardest to brainwash and pose a direct threat to their ideology.
