I'm a big fan of the First Amendment. I don't like the idea of outlawing speech. But if the media says that some form of speech is a problem, then I think we should immediately ban it. I'm thinking in particular of one hate-filled flag that incites violence among many people, especially in the South. If a flag is a cause of such violence, shouldn't we ban it? That's why I'm calling for the Mexican flag to be banned. In Mexico, perhaps, it's harmless, but in the United States, all it does is foment hatred and violence. Look at the violence committed by illegal aliens, many of whom are from Mexico:
In Los Angeles, 95 percent of all outstanding warrants for homicide (which total 1,200 to 1,500) target illegal aliens. Up to two-thirds of all fugitive felony warrants (17,000) are for illegal aliens.
Today, about 55,000 criminal aliens account for more than one-fourth of prisoners in Federal Bureau of Prisons facilities, and there are about 297,000 criminal aliens incarcerated in state and local prisons
A Congressional Research Service report released in August 2012 found that over a 33-month period, between October 2008 and July 2011, more than 159,000 illegal aliens were arrested by local authorities and identified by the federal government as deportable but nevertheless released back onto the streets. Nearly one-sixth of those same individuals were subsequently again arrested for crimes.

Ah...I haven’t looked at those, so you may be right.
Exactly right. Anytime anyone starts out with “I believe ... but,” or “I support ... but,” the entire rest of their statement contradicts what they say at first they believe in or support. When they take a second to catch their breath I tell them, “You are lying to yourself.”
Exactly correct. IMO, the "rainbow" flag is just as hateful as the nazi flag.
Both represent shutting down/out anyone that disagrees with their message. Both flags represent ideologies that seek to destroy lives for the simple act of disagreeing with what it represents.
Yep. That is why there are far fewer political bumper stickers on display than there were thirty years ago.
We are pre-censoring ourselves so the rabid Left doesn’t have to.
Add to that the cost to all the illegals and children of illegals in the government(public)schools.
Yes! Ban the rainbow flag!
OK. I’d a a hell of a lot rather ban the Mexican flag. The Confederate flag means a lot more than slavery, some of my family fought and died for it.
My wife’s family is Italian, they have some things, like her FB page that has the Italian flag on it. Italy fought on the side of the Nazis in WWII. Ban it too? If I remember correctly, that was quite a while after the Civil War.
The present Italian flag is not the same as the one they fought under during WWII.
