I have an easier time forgiving Johnny his Che chic than the BS AP dished out when this patriot cut down the Stars and Stripes from beneath the Mexican’t flag. Johnny is a nut who has done more drugs than we can imagine, what’s AP’s excuse?

Allah is laughing at all you right-wing loonies admiring the nutjob btw.

Possibly true… it’s hard to tell if AllahP’s a shill or not sometimes.

I tend to give some of these guys a break, he never filed suit, he didn’t fight it out, he probably did not think it though like we are with time to analyze.

Yeah maybe he was just displaying the flags of the two countries he loves and put the Mexican one on top without thinking about it. (I’m not being sarcastic here, he deserves the benefit of the doubt until we know his intent was malicious.)

Meanwhile I will keep saying it until I am blue in the face (and I don’t give a damn if anyone calls me a broken record for it):

Open borders = infiltration by terrorists = attacks on US soil using MANPADS, biological agents, and/or “dirty” bombs.

Just ONE successful MANPAD shot at a 747 flying into LAX on a nice clear afternoon = billions of dollars of liabilities and lost business to airlines = recession.

If I were them, that is what I would be working towards, if I could get my hands on a good SA-18 Grouse.

…and the only prescription is more flag vigilante!!!

I agree, it is my favorite of all quotes from a President.

Or…he is a member of LaRaza, and this was a signal to all others members to begin the revolution. Our man stopped the revolution and saved thousands of lives and kept that city from falling into Mexico’s hands…man is it the holiday yet?

But you gotta admit; TR’s quotes are great.

I do; thanks for posting them!

It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

If there is any utterance in history better than the Gettysburg Address – this would be it.

I think the owner new he had done wrong. He probably did it out of ignorance, not malice. He just didn’t think through his action…he will now.

Sorry, but I beg to differ. He knew exactly what he was doing when he made the conscience decision to place the Mexican Flag above the American Flag.

I wonder why the shop owner hasn’t pressed charges. Could it be that there’s a “documentation” issue? Or perhaps he knows that it would bring a firestorm of righteous indignation from every American with an ounce of patriotism?

I would have to envoke “The Guy From Boston” respose to the stupid schmuck that hung the American flag under the mexican flag.

Cool post then. Thanks for straightening me out.

not respecting the Mexican-American guy’s property rights. We are respecting a vigilante, not a real conservative.

Brossard was just practicing a little “civil disobedience”. The left tramples property rights all day every day and gets a free pass. Can’t a patriot step just over the line once in a while?

The Mexican tried an in-your-face stunt and got slapped. And obviously we all enjoyed the magic of the moment.

Note that the dude didn’t put the Mexican flag back up ’cause he didn’t have the ‘nads to do so.

Not only that he didn’t have the Malkins to speak to the reporter and defend his own actions in putting the Mexican flag above the American flag in the first place.

right2bright on November 21, 2007 at 12:12 PM

Dude, I’m with you. I was just being snarky in that Allah put a severe beatdown on his admirers in the past due to his not respecting the Mexican-American guy’s property rights. We are respecting a vigilante, not a real conservative. AND he desecrated the flag. I was being sarcastic. Love you, AP, by the way.

RW Wacko on November 21, 2007 at 11:57 AM

Like you in the comfort of your home or office, able to type whatever you like. Because, in history, men like this have stood out and taken it upon themselves to defend our country. What seems like a meaningless action to you, inspires others not to let people take away or chip away at our freedoms or nationality. As Roosevelt said in his many great writings:

Get action. Seize the moment. Man was never intended to become an oyster.
– Theodore Roosevelt

Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
– Theodore Roosevelt

Every man holds his property subject to the general right of the community to regulate its use to whatever degree the public welfare may require it.
– Theodore Roosevelt

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.
– Theodore Roosevelt

And my very favorite, especially quoted for you (ain’t the internet grand?)
