Nationalism is a disease

Nationalism is a disease

and progressiveism is a plague.

with a statement like that one can only assume that you are in that group.

Although I do not align myself with any political parties, my beliefs are close to that of the libertarian party. Since this group is considered right wing your assumption is wrong.

Jingoism is a disease.

The pendulum is swinging the other way; the political correctness has gone to far and the backlash is in effect. Trust me, I know what racism is, and like everyone else on this thread, forum and community, don't like it one bit. However, forgetting about community and country and focusing on the needs of a minority is counter productive, IMHO. Let's work toward a common goal, the betterment of America... if that's Nationalism, so be it.

Well here's the thing, Progressiveism transcends party and political affiliation. It has infested all levels, and creeds of politics, your defense of your self still dose not discount your earlier statement, quote or no quote you must hold that belief since you were claiming those words as your own with out crediting the original source.

Next we will move on the fact that with that statement one can only conclude you believe we are all citizens of the world right???? A libertarian believes in small limited government, and a corner stone to making that work is a strong sense of Country (along with Faith and Charity). You see with out some sense of country (a common binding thread of all the people, if you will) then shit falls apart, and with a small limited govt (like you claim to want) it would be chaos all the time.

Now if Since you think nationalism is a disease one can only gather that you would like to see more international govt and all that citizen of the world bull shit. That my friend is Progressiveism to a T and the Wet dream of all progressives and what they have been working toward, for over a century.

I still say my assertion hit fairly close to the mark with you.

Question???? Was the American flag flying on the flag pole in front of the school? On the day that they got in trouble?

The answer I read somewhere else was yes. The American Flag was flying outside the school that day!

They're just some little trolls trying to cause a disturbance and get attention, stop giving it to them. "Hey you guys I know what would be really funny, lets wear American flag tshirts and bandanas on Mexican day lol!!! Watch how mad everyone gets at us!! It'll be hilarious!!!"

Except it's not so hilarious when Santiago and his 15 greasy buddies decide to demonstrate their pride by beating the shit out of the attention whores.

Good call by the principal.

Well heres the thing, if someone was to try and kick their ass over the flag. Then its something that is worth fighting over. Better men then you or I have fought and died for that flag for the last 230 years.

Those that would attempt that ass kicking for wearing a flag shirt, need to be disciplined and put on a bus and deported. it was not too long ago you would have been hung by the neck until till dead for that, commonly known as treason

It was a stupid call on the VP part no way to justify it as anything but


Edit: Jason the bigger question is, Was the Mexican flag being flown over top of the US flag on the day in question.

i like your ignorance...dont talk about rights, because the united states is a screwed up place. Let us celebrate "[our] little day", theres no harm in celebrating it, trust me im sure those kids must have done something to get suspended, not just wear an american flag.
"The public school funded by PUBLIC TAX dollars is punishing these kids"
what does this have to do with anything?

I've been reading through this thread biting my tongue, but you're just an idiot.

Since the U.S. is so screwed up how about you leave and go to Mexico?

You go ahead and get your ass thoroughly kicked for what you're wearing and tell me that it was worth it. I have a scrap of self preservation, as well as a healthy dose of common sense that says don't go looking for trouble. I'm not about to walk through Harlem in a "WHITE IS RIGHT" hoodie just because I legally can.

It seems that you must be functionally retarded.

I too am not gonna put my self in a position of hazard, you have to have some common sense.

Comparing a "White it Right" shirt to the nations flag is not even close to the same thing. Thats out right racism and asking for a justified ass kicking. The nations flag is a symbol of everyone thats here personal freedom. BIG FUCKING DIFFERENCE

This is not a debate over legality of just because I can, this about the fundamental core beliefs of the citizens of this nation.

I guess you just cant put 2 and 2 together. It dose not matter what holiday it is in some other country, we dont live some other country this incident did not happen in some other country it HAPPENED IN THE USA.

Why do I have to keep repeating myself

So lets say I agree with you,

I'm sad that you believe wearing an american flag shirt is racist.
