Please, don’t get me wrong. I agree completely with his actions, I admire and respect them.

When this came out several years ago, I was into a bunch of threads on this subject.

I have a huge amount of respect for this guy. Check out my post at #11 on this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/2501256/posts

I understand the position you are in.

Only one flag (by law at least) is allowed to fly above the American Flag. That is the U.N. flag.

You are wrong, wrong, wrong.

United States Flag Code

(c) No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America, except during church services conducted by naval chaplains at sea, when the church pennant may be flown above the flag during church services for the personnel of the Navy. No person shall display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or international flag equal, above, or in a position of superior prominence or honor to, or in place of, the flag of the United States at any place within the United States or any Territory or possession thereof: Provided, That nothing in this section shall make unlawful the continuance of the practice heretofore followed of displaying the flag of the United Nations in a position of superior prominence or honor, and other national flags in positions of equal prominence or honor, with that of the flag of the United States at the headquarters of the United Nations.

The two Hispanic looking men were likely just confused and had no idea that they were acting improperly.

Perhaps it would have been better for someone to have quietly spoken to the owner of the store and explained our customs regarding the U.S. flag.

You forgot the next section after your highlighted portion:

"That nothing in this section shall make unlawful the continuance of the practice heretofore followed of displaying the flag of the United Nations in a position of superior prominence or honor, and other national flags in positions of equal prominence or honor, with that of the flag of the United States at the headquarters of the United Nations."

I hate it, but its true. In New York that f#@$@%#kin UN flag is displayed in a superior position to our flag.

Tell me, if you lived down in Mexico and had a flag pole, what would common sense tell you? That perhaps the Mexican flag would fly on top? These mexicans may not have been responsible for that flag pole. Neither of them may have been the owner but they knew it was wrong. Don't fall for that line that too many immigrants do now days. Caught in something they don't like or don't want to do, it's no habla English.

It should only be so at the United Nations building, not the whole city of NYC.

Embassies are considered territory of the nation they represent, so their flags are flown highest at their embassies.

Everywhere else in the United States and it territories, the US flag is never to be placed inferior to other flags. Liberals think differently, but they are wrong.

Yes, it is at the UN. However, the UN is not a country so it does not get the status of an embassy per se. That is still our land and it is rented out to those bast#$@$s!! That is why it is specifically stated in there about the UN and not other countries flags flying at their embassy. As you noted, the embassy is part of the country they are representing. The UN does not have that distinction.

Today we saw a McDonald’s flag almost touching the ground. My daughter asked me why. I said because no flag should fly higher than the US flag and the US flag is at half mast. This video made me angry!

I know it’s an oldie, but good for him. I have Mexican family, and I grew up with several Mexican families I respected, but this new influx of illegals can kiss my @ss. There’s no respect, no desire to immigrate, no desire to become an American. If you want to be an American, fine, more power to you. If you want to be a fan waving, Mexican pride illegal who blatantly flouts our laws, go the hell back home. If Mexico is so damn great, why are you over here? Go back home and make it your paradise or wonderland, instead of the third world sh*thole it currently is.
