|
|
On Drudge, there is a link to a Houston Chronicloe story about a Regan High School prinicpal who flew the Mexican flag over the school today. I urge you to check it out. The School Board ordered the flag removed, and is considering disciplinary action. I urge you to contact the Houston ISD and express your opinion. I emailed a contact at the ISD and called Regan itself. This really got me boiling. Does Mexico fund Houston schools? No. Does Mexico even pay penny one to the Houston ISD for the education of its citizens here illegaly? Is not Houston part of the United States? What kind of inane message did this fool send to students and what kind of insult to loyal Americans? PS I am a hispanic American with loyalty only to the United States of America. These dunderheads protesting "Mexico, Mexico" are, in my opinon, idiots. If Mexico is so d*** great, what are you doing here? Thank you Jesus I was not born in that pathetic country. |

And we're glad to have you here too. A voice of reason in an insane world.
What was he thinking I wonder?
You made a great point about if it's so great there, what are they doing here. I love it.

There have been several of these flag episodes including a Californicated school where the US flag was flown inverted beneath the Mexican flag. Michelle Malkin has a list. _________________ "KILL ALL THE LAWYERS!"

WWIIVetsDaughter, my wife is also of Hispanic ancestry and also from the Houston area. She couldn't agree with you more. In my opinion, this isn't only about Illegal Immigrants but is spurred on by some with different intentions (MEChA and La Raza). |

That useful idiot in Houston should be fired. Who needs that type of poor judgement (or Treason?) around children...
When New Orleans was occupied by the Yankees during the Civil War, a guy hauled down the American Flag from the Customs House. Bad Idea. The Yankees hanged him. _________________ HHC 212th CAB MMAF RVN '70-'71 |

I had just received the following quote in an email before I read your message. Seems very appropriate in this situation.
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us,
he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else,
for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man
because of creed, or birthplace, or origin.
But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American...
There can be no divided allegiance here.
Any man who says he is an American, but something else also,
isn! 't an American at all. We have room for but one flag,
the American flag...
We have room for but one language here, and that is
the English language...
And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty
to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

May I ask why the Mexican government is not paying back the U.S. when, for example, we provide medical care to a Mexican citizen here illegally? That type of arrangement might help. A tax on Mexico might encourage them to clean up their act internally, as well as secure their own borders. _________________ "Millions For Defense, Not One Cent For Tribute" - Thomas Jefferson on paying ransom to Muslim corsairs (pirates). |

Now there's a good idea FDL. Let's send em a bill.
Maybe the govt. wouldn't have to do it. Maybe citizens could file a class action to do it. Since it's our tax money that paying for all the medical care, why can't we get reimbursed from the Mexican govt.
I really like the sound of that one.

Sheriff John Trumbo of Umatilla County in Eastern Oregon recently sent Mexico’s President Fox a bill for $318,843 tax dollars spent to house 360 illegal Mexican immigrants in its jail for crimes allegedly committed in the county during 2005. _________________ I was going to become an anarchist, but they had too many rules. |

Odd this comes from Tucson's Red Star and not any Phoenix outlet 90 miles closer to the scene. _________________ "KILL ALL THE LAWYERS!"

I would waste a ten dollar Zippo on this mission. Can I wipe my arse with it before we burn it please?
Would the last American out of Houston, please bring our flag?

I have a solution on how that would be stopped...any school that flags any flag other than the American flag, looses any aid money from the state or US gov't, get it from Mexico.. |
