Fuckin A is right ! This bullshit is totally intolerable to me. Anyone so
enamored with putting the Mexican flag above the American flag should damned
well take their asses back to Mexico.
By an overwhelming margin every single piece of legislation regarding granting
citizenship or amnesty for illegals on the federal level in the last 6 months or
so here has been defeated. This has been achieved by the American people
flooding their congressional members offices with calls and faxes to deliver
their thoughts to them.
My question is WHEN will the illegals themselves get the point ? As illegal
members of our society they are by and large unwelcome here and really ought to
save us all a lot of BS and just head back to where they came from !
And .... just as a special note to anyone who is illegally residing within the
US borders, here's my thoughts summed up pretty succinctly

The bar owners were not wrong to fly their flag. They were wrong to fly it
above the American Flag. Even when 2 or more flag poles are use , no other flag
is allowed to be flown higher than the American flag. Americ is the country of
our birth and the chosen country of others so it should always come firt. When
people immigrate to this country they take an oath to put America first and

no longer put it first. If they don't become citizens of this country after a

Texas had applied for statehood in the US BEFORE the Texas army threw out the
Mexican forces within the state and the US govt. basically said until you and
Mexico get your shit sorted out, we want no part of Texas as a state.
The Texas army, a rag tag bunch of ranchers, farmers and the like, much less
well equipped (and way outnumbered) compared to Santa Annas Mexican army, met
and defeated them and achieved independence from Mexico. The US govt. had no
part of that battle, nor was there even any form of support from them, so they
get no credit for having helped Texas achieve independence from Mexico

I had not seen this before, so thanks for posting some fresh comments to bring
it to my attention!
I am proud of my country (New Zealand for those who don't know) and if I moved
to another country I would still be proud to be a kiwi and would possibly fly a
New Zealand flag (we are not big into flags down here like the Americans are),
so I can understand the Mexican's wanting to fly their flag. Before you all
lynch me for saying that though, if I moved to another country there would have
been a good reason to do so, i.e. I wanted to be there, so I would 1. Follow the
laws of that country so I don't get arrested/deported and 2. Respect the culture
of that country. So if I were to fly a NZ flag in the US, even without knowing
the law, it would be below the stars and stripes. You would have to be a retard
with your head so deep in a hole (I will let your imagination tell you which
hole I might be referring to) to not know that Americans love their flag and see
it as the prime symbol of their patriotism. What I am trying to say then is
that the bar owner was either stupid or trying to stir up trouble, or most
likely both.

Aftermath
Brossard appeared with talk radio host Bill Manders on Fox News' Your World with
Neil Cavuto on October 3 and said that he "heard on Bill Manders' show that
the flags were flying as they were. I found it disturbing to the point that I
had to do something about it. I grabbed my Ka-Bar, I went down there, I left my
vehicle a couple of doors down, I found TV cameras rolling as I walked up, I did
what was in my heart."
Talk radio host Mike Gallagher told Brossard during an October 3 interview,
"I can promise you that Americans view you as a hero." During that
interview Brossard explained that his primary concern was what Gallagher
referred to as the 'Hispanification' of America. Brossard said, "I feel
there’s a lot of this turning our heads on things in concern to the Hispanic
community and the things they do. They seem impervious to our laws in a lot of
situations."
A veterans' group, the U.S.S. Intrepid Association Inc., in November 2007
presented Brossard with a U.S. flag that had been raised over the Intrepid July
12, 2007.
Although Cavuto, Gallagher, and other reporters stated that flying the U.S. flag
in this manner is illegal, the Reno Police Department and the Nevada chapter of
the ACLU issued separate press releases stating that while both U.S. code and
Nevada statutes contain protocols relating to the display of the American flag,
the protocols are advisory only and carry no sanctions for violation.
The Director for the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada, Bob Fulkerson,
called Brossard's actions "criminal". Right Wing Watch, the online
newsmagazine of People for the American Way, called him a vigilante.
The owner of the bar did not press charges against Brossard.
Ka-Bar, the manufacturer of the knife Brossard used, made a Jim Broussard
commemorative edition of the military knife

Thanks pro for the update. Reading that it was not actually illegal to fly the

I know how Americans almost idolise their flag and, as stated in my last post,
see it as a prime symbol of their patriotism, so I can understand his feelings,
but there were probably better ways of dealing with it. I stand by my last post
in that I believe the bar owner was stirring up trouble.
