Banning the American Flag and 'Reconquista'
American Thinker ^ | 3-1-14 | William Sullivan

Posted on 03/01/2014 4:09:15 AM PST by afraidfortherepublic

A federal court has ruled that an American school student has a right to free expression -- unless that American might be threatened for that expression by others, in which case state officials have the right to quash the offending expression to appease potential aggressors.

Which, ipso facto, means Americans have no right to free expression at all.

~snip~

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled upon the constitutionality of a decision by the administration at Live Oak High School in 2010. On May 5th of that year, student Daniel Galli and his friends had the unmitigated gall to wear shirts emblazoned with that offensive symbol that we call the American flag. Fearing that the unruly ex-denizens of another country would be infuriated at the mere sight of it on a day they hold in reverence, the vice principal asked him and his friends to turn their shirts inside out.

~snip~

First, there is the obvious specter of the notion of “Reconquista” inherent in all of this. When speaking with my parents just a few weeks ago about Republicans’ wild-eyed and crazily misguided efforts to make the legislation of amnesty their political white whale, my father (an Anglo-American of English/Irish descent) asked me to make future efforts to remind Americans that the concentrated campaign to re-define the American Southwest as a sub-jurisdiction of Mexico, with social and economic benefits provided by American taxpayers, amounts to little more than an invasion. My mother (of immediate Mexican descent) took it upon herself to agree, reminding us that as a teenager in San Antonio, Texas, that this very aim was openly discussed among her Hispanic classmates. “We’re gonna take it back,” she recalls as a common theme of conversation. “We’re gonna hang around and eventually, we’re gonna get it back.”

I knew it was coming to this, this is the end game, now according to the 9th Circus Court if someone feels bad abut what conservatives say we have to shut up. TEA Party signs make the leftist upset, then ban them, don’t like what Rush is saying on the radio, ban him too.

We are nothing but a bunch of cowards, not sheep, sheep have a backbone.

Basically we are going to have to tell the conservative granny ladies auxiliary that it is going to get messy, and they might be called bad names, but they will deal with it while men go forth and whoop some ass. As for those insurgent Americans in that Mexical school, its called stickers that show the American flag, buy them, put them up, create evil libtard overreactions. Stop f#cking whining, now.

The Republican House of Representatives can and should impeach any of these justices for their grossly incompetent ruling. Of course they won’t but they do have the power to push back.

Everyone on Free Republic should read “Domestic Enemies” by our own Travis Magee (Matthew Bracken) where Americans in the Southwest live in a dystopian world of the Reconquista where displays of the American flag are prohibited and businesses are required to use Spanish. And guns are taken away from ordinary citizens.

It’s happening today as seen by incidents like the one in this article.

And look at the illegal alien mess and the way some liberals want amnesty. They plan to win by demographics.

Does it bother anyone that the current mayor of Los Angeles was one of the founders of Fecha, the political arm of the Reconquista movement?

Google Fecha and see what comes up. Matt Bracken is a prophet.

IMO beyond the notion of “Reconquista” it's..

Joe and Jane Citizen being "in violation of . . . unwritten sensitivity standard[s] . . . [such as] our poor American flag no longer has a home in our schools and workplaces. . . . [it no longer matters] how many have sacrificed and died for the values it represents . . . ."

Abe will explain from "the other side." The fault is ours.

You initiated a policy to tolerate the Marxist-Alinsky radicals and let them rant; not only has it not ceased but was constantly augmented by decades of infiltration and indoctrination. You now have two Americas. In my opinion, it will not cease until a crisis shall have been reached and passed. A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government cannot endure, permanently, half statist and half free; I do not expect the house to fall; but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing, or all the other.

You see, the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats hijacked the now defunct Democratic Party in the 1970s. They and their bratty ideological issue are now arguably the Establishment. (I.e., statism.)

“We’re gonna hang around and eventually, we’re gonna get it back.”

This is true starting with California. They will do this by sheer numbers at the ballot box. Probably in just a few more election cycles.

I put up an American flag on my vehicle and on my porch on Cinco De Mayo. It’s OUR flag. They don’t like it, they can leave. I do NOT want to see a foreign flag hoisted in our nation. Period!

It is up to us to fly OUR FLAG! Were I a parent, I’d keep my kid home from school on that day. I consider it a patriotic duty to counter protest these people. Their allegiance is to Mexico and I won’t tolerate their nationalism here in this country! Let the chips fall where they may.

I suspect that a whole lot of chips are going to fall, and we had better be ready for it.

Cinco De Mayo is a sham holiday designed to separate proto-alcoholics from their money.

My American flag is waiting patiently in the closet until than Kenyan Communist is out of the White Hut. Until then, the Sons of Liberty and Gadsden Flags fly from our 20-foot flag pole!

Sadly, your statement reeks of false bravado.

Our political leaders are more than willing to sell your white ass out for votes and cheap labor.

If "We The People" don't protect our sovereignty, it will be taken and sold to the highest bidder.

Ditto here.

Until the Kenyan Kretin goes back to ...well I don’t care where the hell he goes...it stays.

Should Hitlery win, it stays right where it is.

“If “We The People” don’t protect our sovereignty, it will be taken and sold to the highest bidder. “

Now that is one funny statement, what pray tell do you mean by, “it will be sold”, the correct term is “it has been sold”. We are way past where you think we are.
