Gone Too Far
When high school kids in several cities across the country cut class this week to rally in favor of... what is it that they're rallying for?... immigrant "rights"? amnesty? Aztlan?... it was pointed out that many of them were carrying Mexican flags "to honor their heritage." School administrators, I'm sure, are turning a blind eye to the unexcused absenses (probably even encouraging the little skulls full of mush). But... this... this... this is insane.
There's another reason why the Mexican flags are being waved during these rallies... a reason the kids might not even know or understand. Among the signs at the large rally in La Ciudad de Los Angeles last Saturday were ones reading " Continente Robado" (Stolen Continent) and "Esta es nuestra tierra, y no nos vamos!" ("This is our land, and we're not going!") One site (I've misplaced the link... I'm looking... I'm looking) had quite a few photos of the march in LA, complaining about the number of American flags present, and explaining that they want to reclaim the continent, not assimilate into the United States. Another site spews anti-Semitic and anti-White rhetoric. But, no... they just want to earn a decent living and enjoy a small piece of the American dream, right?
Here's an idea. Vincente Fox recently said that it will take generations to equalize the financial outlook of people on both sides of the border. I know a way to bring that to pass a whole lot quicker. While El Conquistador en Jefe is in Cancún, he should declare war on Mexico (based on the illegal invasion by Mexican civilians and military personnel). Then we can take control of their economy and turn things around. Don't worry... they wouldn't be a drain on our economy for long... with all of those resorts and the oil reserves, combined with a little American ingenuity, they all be productive American citizens before long...
Yeah... I know it won't work... but, still...
Reagan High School Principal Robert Pambello was ordered to remove a Mexican flag Wednesday morning that he had hoisted below the U.S. and Texas flags that typically fly in front of his school — a symbol he agreed to fly to show support for his predominantly Hispanic student body.Geez... I'm surprised he didn't fly it above the other flags. HISD made him take it down, but they haven't decided if there will be any disciplinary action taken against Pambello.
HISD leaders said no decision has been made about possible discipline against the principal, who declined interview requests Wednesday.The only reason I can think of to fly the flag of another nation at a US school is if there happens to be a visiting dignitary. (No, I have no idea why a visiting dignitary would be visiting an American high school, but I'm sure it's happened.)"It is appropriate to fly the flags of the United States and Texas over schools in the Houston Independent School District, since we are a public entity of the state," HISD spokesman Terry Abbott said. "It would not be appropriate for the school district to advocate allegiance to a country other than the United States. Therefore, it is not appropriate to permit use of school district flagpoles for the purpose of flying flags representing other countries."
