I do support the troops/America rallies weekly, marches, and town halls, even though I am handicapped! No more excuses from people! Stand up or shut up! I will not go quietly into the night!

You are one of our heroes in this fight, thank you!

As part of my fight, along with attending local rallies, I am a constant letter writer phone caller and visitor to the offices of the usual suspects (politicians), and they know me well and usually don't like what I say, and that's why I keep saying it and spreading the word to others.

Hope you folks are standing up out there. I won’t give up the ship! I know there are others claiming refugee status, but I prefer to fight. That is what real Americans do.

End Armchair Patriotism!

The snake should be biting the eagle or have it in a strangle hold. Mexico is a failed country. 500 years and they’re still third world. Shame.

The impression is that EFFECTIVELY, burning/desecrating the American
flag for political protest is “free speech”.

But, at least at the local level, doing the same to foreign flags
seems to be verboten.
IIRC, in the early 1990s some folks got in trouble for dissing the
flag of the United Nations in San Diego (at Balboa Park?)

I don’t recall if they brought their own UN flag for the demonstration.

Given what the USSC has decreed, I’d say burn all the flags you want...
just make sure you paid for them.
(But I still might want to make a political statement with the heel
of my boot if someone burns Old Glory within my sight.)

A black woman from Holland has more courage to speak the truth than most of us.

LOL, I hope I’m not the only one that got that!

Very true! But she was from Somalia before Holland, and understands the real world, not just Western bubbles of uber tolerance.

Actually, I’m just learning how to use this site, so I don’t know if I’m posting correctly. To answer one question, yes, the Bohmfalks came from Germany in the 1800s. And about Egypt, yep, it’s an oldie but a goodie, dating back to Air Force boot camp for me. Just to let y’all know, the day after the story hit Fox News, the city of San Antonio dropped the charge against me (for anybody who knows the criminal justice system, that was a no-brainer). Now, the tide has turned and I’m sorting out my options. I’ve lost a lot of money and time with their hijinks and I want it back. I want to thank all of you for the moral support. I just learned that I was on the internet today, from a reporter, so I thought I’d stop by. We MUST be heard! The liberals and their lapdogs want to make all the noise, while trying to drown out our side of the story. To be honest, though, I had been down recently. This isn’t all glory and patriotism- I’ve had a lot of sleepless, worrysome nights, and I have a lot to go. I wanted to thank all of you for your moral support. Reading the posts has made me feel a lot better. God Bless all of you and GOD BLESS THE USA!

Thanks! I’m glad to find that there’s at least one “free republic” around here. Seems the PC (BS) crowd doesn’t want the US to be one.

The anti-American liberal crowd has been organized for 40 years. It’s time that the true patriots do the same, and let our voices be heard in the streets!
