Mexican flag raised over Maywood, CA post office and whites run out of town.


Yeah, no one is dumb enough to do it

The youtube videos were removed because, "This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated. " Is youtube censoring us so that we can't see what these beaneaters are trying to do?

When I raise the flag, better be bringing me some sopapillas!

Clearly we were raised differently. My father was the oldest of nine children. His father died an alcoholic, former worker in the West Virginia coal industry, and pretty much a deadbeat. They moved out of WV when he was a senior in high school. He was on a basketball scholarship to college and had to quit to go to work to help his family make ends meet. My mother and father raised 2 highly successful sons who learned the value of a dollar, the value of friends (family or not), and how to make it through while never doing without anything truly needed and most things wanted. Eighteen years ago, I graduated from the same university he once attended, and it was one of the proudest moments in my life not because I graduated, but because I was able to do so where he once was on that path but stepped away for family.

Along the way, I learned that to get respect, you have to give it. Yes, you can say it is earned, but that works both ways. To me, someone who puts on a uniform and serves others be it military, police, fire, etc. deserves respect. I've found that giving it to them usually gets it in return. The same is true for elders. They've been here a lot longer than me, and I have no right to tell them how things should be. Personally, if you don't respect those in uniform, I think you should GTFO of this country and go somewhere else. Enlisting and serving means you're signing up for something larger than you as an individual. They deserve the respect and honor that should accompany that type of service.

As for kids, they should be grateful and respectful along the way to becoming adults. My father always wanted me to be better off than him in every way, but he wanted me to get there by work that we did. I'm trying to pass the same to my kids and I hope they do the same. Currently, we have too many people with no morals or values. They leach off others and don't contribute anything positive to this country or the lifestyle of others. If that doesn't change, the USA will drift into a nation of people with a belief of entitlement. We're already much closer than I ever thought we'd be. I fault people like you.

What I am about to say may be unpopular, but I need to say it.

While I agree with most of your comments, there are a few that I fully do NOT agree with. They mostly lie with your comments about people joining the police/fire departments/ the military.

My opinion is that people that join those services do NOT automatically command respect and don't automatically qualify as being heroes. It is my opinion that someone has to actually do something to be heroic, to do something to be respected. It isn't something to be given just because someone signed on a dotted line. There are hundreds of thousands of examples of people that signed on that dotted line that are in NO WAY heroic or do not deserve respect. Saying that, any soldier that actually goes into combat, getting shot at while doing his service is a hero, and any fireman that actually goes into a burning building to help someone is a hero, and any police officer that goes above and beyond the call of duty is a hero. BUT, a soldier that never leaves a base in America, or a fireman that never leaves a station, or a cop that only writes tickets is NOT a hero, they are just employees that are doing a job. Sure, they have the ability to do a heroic act, but it actually takes DOING that act for them to be a hero.

Only one way to find out buddy! I'm sure you would have no problem if there were legal fees.

I will start the pool to pay for some lighter fluid, a match, and some climbing gear. Hand someone your cell phone to share.

Respect is earned, not given. However, one should always be cordial unless given a reason not to be.

Why should they automatically be given respect?


What should kids be, for the future?

Your liberal is showing.

Obviously the term libtard was coined because of people like him.

Come on, surely you've heard.

The bird is the word?

So? If I decide to put a Japanese flag on my vehicles, does that mean that I somehow hate America and wish it to fall?



Aside from some things in the past, what is there to be prideful about? We've managed to fuck up every good thing about this country except blowing shit up and putting people in jail, and you'd be hardpressed to justify to me that those are good things.

1. Yes. It shows your allegiance to Japan, not America.

2. Still (barely) the only place where you can have complete class mobility from extreme poverty to extreme wealth and back to poverty in a decade if you try. Best weapon systems on the planet and despite Obama's best efforts, still a powerhouse.

[racrguy]

Yes. Seriously man? Look at this country over the last century. How many instances of allowed stupidity has there been? It takes a certain degree of vigilance to keep this ship going.

Fair enough.

I find it funny that the media covered the Dodgers celebrating winning their division last night by jumping in the pool at Diamondbacks stadium and called it disrespectful. However, apparently people think flying the flag of a communist nation that would love nothing more than for the US to be destroyed is quite okay.

Destroyed? We're their biggest customer. That's like Walmart wanting to get rid of all the white trash in America.

You ask would anyone be dumb enough to try it? Have you looked around while driving lately? You see flags, stickers on cars, emblems, etc. representing other nations all the time.

Pride in America is dwindling away.

Respect for peers, adults,

Respect is earned, not given. However, one should always be cordial unless given a reason not to be.

and those who serve is at an all time low.

Why should they automatically be given respect?

We totally suck right now as parents at raising our children to be what they should be for the future. It starts with accepting crap like this.

Outside of the area in this story, do you think anyone would be dumb enough to try it?

Come on, surely you've heard...

All it takes for evil to succeed is for a few good men to do nothing.

They would be run out of town only if they allowed themselves to be run out of town.
