Oh, okay.  I'll take your word for it.  Thanks.  Kinda odd for US citizens to be waving Mexican flags like crazy.


It's kinda odd for several states to incorporate the flag of the greatest enemy of the US into the state flags.  They call it heritage.  Bleh.

Which states have the union jack in them?   :huh:

It's cute that you people still think of EUOT as some sort of Eurocommie stronghold.

Not the issue.  Tea party people are also demanding things they are not "entitled to." 

Oh, like citizenship for a country they entered illegally & reside/work in illegally?  Damn those tea partiers!
Uh, yeah.  Yeah, sure. * backs away slowly*

QuoteOh, okay.  I'll take your word for it.  Thanks.  Kinda odd for US citizens to be waving Mexican flags like crazy.
Kinda odd for one to speak of rallies in which some Mexican flags were waved to now be full of people "waving Mexican flags like crazy," but if that rant makes you feel better, go for it.  Truth is over-rated when it comes to emotional satisfaction.

QuoteAnyway, I'm sure some were citizens, but there were still large numbers of illegals who had the cojones to demand citizenship.   
I am sure that there are illegal immigrants who demand citizenship, just as there are people who claim that the earth is flat.  Not sure what either has to do with this discussion, though.

QuoteIt's like an uninvited guest who shows up at a party at your house & then demands that you let him move in.
Good analogy, Marti.

Only one state (Mississippi) has the old Army of Northern Virginia battle flag on it, not "several" and the CSA was certainly not the greatest "enemy" of the US.  Rather, it sought--rightly or wrongly--to preserve the US through secession, the ultimate check on government.

Now make a post that says "lol slavery" and get your facts wrong again, please.

Well hello there. :yeahright:

Jet: I see.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
