Apparently on Cinco de Mayo some students were sent home because they offended some mexican-American students by wearing the American Flag depicted on their shirts and shorts.  You have got to be kidding me:

On any other day at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, Daniel Galli and his four friends would not even be noticed for wearing T-shirts with the American flag. But Cinco de Mayo is not any typical day especially on a campus with a large Mexican American student population.

Galli says he and his friends were sitting at a table during brunch break when the vice principal asked two of the boys to remove American flag bandannas that they wearing on their heads and for the others to turn their American flag T-shirts inside out. When they refused, the boys were ordered to go to the principal’s office.

“They said we could wear it on any other day,” Daniel Galli said, “but today is sensitive to Mexican-Americans because it’s supposed to be their holiday so we were not allowed to wear it today.”

The boys said the administrators called their T-shirts “incendiary” that would lead to fights on campus.

…”I think they should apologize cause it is a Mexican Heritage Day,” Annicia Nunez, a Live Oak High student, said. “We don’t deserve to be get disrespected like that. We wouldn’t do that on Fourth of July.”

Ok, I think we can all agree Annicia is hawt.  But with that aside, really Annicia?  Really?  Apologize?  This isn’t mexico.  This is America, where the American flag is 24/7/365.  And the price in blood paid for that flag is a hell of a lot higher than your petty feelings of being “disrespected”.  So how about this apology?  Fuck.  Off.

To compare the Corona beer party to the 4th of July is absurd.  The 4th of July is our day of independence you jackasses.  The American flag stands above all other flags.  The Israeli flag, the Italian flag the Irish flag and yes, the mexican flag!  Not to mention Cinco de Mayo isn’t even a real holiday——in mexico!  Or that they won the battle, but lost the war and were occupied by France, France!!, until the U. S. pressured them back to their own hemisphere.  So instead of bitching about a few kids wearing their own flag, how about you pay attention in class and put yourself some f-ing knowledge.

And what’s worse than the comments from these mexican kids is the Principal and Vice Principal.  The American flag is provocative and incendiary?  In a public school, funded by the American tax payer?  That flag that is soooo incendiary gives you the freedom to open your pie hole and speak such garbage.  Dick bags.  These two clowns should be fired if not for their comments, but at the very least for being stupid idiots.  But they won’t because up and down that school district is one ignorant liberal after another.

So now our flag is controversial.  While other people are celebrating their (supposed) holiday, we can’t have people walking around with the American flag on their person.  Nooooo, can’t have that can we?  Yet if I walked in with a murderous douchbag che guevara t-shirt, why that would be considered edgy.  And notice how tolerance only goes one way.  One way.  White christian males?  Piss on them.  The American flag?  Piss on it.  But upset the beer cart on Cinco de Mayo and it’s outrageous outrage.

Folks, this is a clear example of the deterioration of what our society is.  In particular the culture.  And especially our history.  People who come to this country must accept and respect the American way.  They don’t have to forget where they came from and their past cultures, they can celebrate them.  And should embrace them.  We have Columbus day, St. Patrick’s day, etc., etc.  We get that and it is completely fine.  Be proud of your heritage.  Pass it on to your kids and grandkids.  But you are first and foremost an American.  This is an American society.  Not a mexican and everything else society.

What this Principal and Vice Principal should have done is addressed these kids and the community and said look, you can represent your culture.  But these kids can represent theirs as well.  People in this country embrace ethnic pride.  As they should.  It is the rejection of America where we draw the line.

As I am sure everybody has heard by now, the tiny island of Haiti was all but crushed by an earthquake measuring 7.0.  A truly horrific and tragic event.  They went from essentially nothing to, well, absolutely nothing.

Some of the first responders were our Special Forces and churches.  What is striking is how quickly we Americans responded.  But this really shouldn’t be surprising.  This is what we do, this is what we are.  We do it from the heart and we do it because we have soul.  We do it because we are Americans and we care about our fellow human beings.

This is why I resent, from the bottom of my soul and the very core of my being, when Barack Obama goes overseas and puts down this country.  I resent it when he goes overseas and uses code words like American Imperialism to put down our people.  I resent how he lectures to us while cheering to others how the Americans have done so many things to other people. It is a level of douchebaggery that no one has really achieved before.

It’s really hard to rally a nation when you have a president that has spent the past twelve months in office bashing the people.

We are a magnificent country with compassionate people and we try to do what’s right.  We aren’t always right, but most of the time we do the right thing.  Our contributions to mankind are infinite.  Not just with money, food or medical care when people are suffering.  But with our inventions, technological advances, products and our entire way of governing. Not only are we extremely generous to other nations, but we are especially generous to our own people.  We go to great lengths with charities, donations and even taxes to ensure poor people are fed and the elderly are tended to.  America is the very definition of compassion.

We conservatives understand this.  It’s not so much that we are different in any fundamental way than other people.  We’re not.  It’s that our society is different and it nurtures the individual human being.  This is the message conservatives need to get out.

There are times when our attention doesn’t need to focus on what Obama, Pelosi, Reid or any other libtard is doing.  There comes a time when you just need to stop, take a step back and take it all in.  A time to ask: Who are we?  What are we?  What do we stand for?  It is times like right now, where we have this horrible tragedy in Haiti, when it can be crystallized.  A time to show what we, the American people, are about.
