dear Liz,
‘re: good move.’
I lived in SoCal, during the Reagan years, having come back, after leaving with my GI parents, as a young boy.
I am an AMERICAN military disabled vet, not a dad-blamed ‘beaner’ military anything! I do NOT ‘habla’. I am a retired newspaper columnist, so ‘habla’ isn’t inside my Collegiate Webster’s hardcopy. I put myself through a writer’s training program.
American English was decided to be the official language, as set forth by The Founding Fathers, with GERMAN, losing by one vote. (imagine that, if you will.) I am a business curriculum graduate from junior and senior high school, where we were taught the business fundamentals hated by this sitting president, in no other language than English. Not esperanto, nor any of the other gutter languages that exist in the education system, today.
To see this nation coddle any other language, as a perceived ‘equal’ to American English, is an insult.
I took my Oath, in American English.
As to taking down that dirty flag, I’d do it, with something in my pocket, to back it up, too.
“I would have just cut the flag down and walked away. No discussions, nothing.”
The home owner would be within his rights to gun you down for that. No jury would convict him either. This is a free country and what flag I fly on my property is nobodies business but my own.
Dear ash of oak,
In case you haven’t noticed, this is AMERICA, NOT Mexico.
If it is that you HAVE noticed, there are a whole lot of cemeteries filled with folks that DIED to make sure that any flag, other than The Stars and Stripes, is NOT unfurled.
The flag of another country unfurled in this nation, and being placed in a higher position than The Stars and Stripes, is actually against federal law, i.e., U.S.C. Title code.
