Once again we seem to have lost sight on an important fact, illegals are working jobs that we need done. There are not 12,000,000 out of work, able bodied individuals, willing and able to work these jobs. There are not employers making busy work for people. Most companies have no fat in their operations, that was all so 60s. If we send them packing, who wins? Very few, and we all lose. Bush has the right idea, a guest worker program. The details have to be worked out, but we can't let the rhetoric and overt and covert racism, cause us to cripple our service sector. One of the great things about the US is we have the most peaceful borders in the world. We have vast land borders with few problems. Contrast that to many places in the world, and it is plain to see we have not had to invest much to keep peace with our neighbors.

QUOTE(Soxy @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 12:47 PM) Actually, I've complained to my high school and college for flying the flag improperly (not lit at night, improperly flown at half mast, having a state flag equally high, etc). It boggles my mind. Unless your paper route included ships, you probably mean half staff, a mast is on a sail boat. When flying the flag at half staff, or mast, the flag is always briskly flown to the top, then slowly lowered. When retiring the colors, once again the flag is brought to the top and briskly brought down. The laws have changed and a state flag may be at the same height. Originally Texas was the only state accorded that honor, as it was the only country that willingly joined the Union and the Texas flag was originally a national flag. Now any state may fly at the same height, but it must be to the US flag's left (right as the audience looks at it.) Interesting institutional breaking with etiquette. The US flag is always to the speaker's right when on a stage (audience left). In synagogues, the Israeli flag occupies that place of honor and the US flag is moved over.

A shame, because it is a very thoughtful and inclusive sentiment. Reminds me of the old Dave Allen at Large sign off, "Thank you, good night, and may your God go with you." Kinky will also sign anything but bad legislature I'm still backing Perry, but we know what a huge GOPerhead I am.

The business of politics. What is so funny, is the GOP would be doing this if it was a Dem. Same response, and lemmings will actually think this is important to our nation. I love it when he calls me "friend". Kerry still calls me by my given name and Bush stopped calling me all together after he ran his last campaign.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Apr 4, 2006 -> 09:36 AM) These 'educators' flat out blew an opportunity to teach these kids about respect for the flag. They should have called an assembly and chewed some collective ass. They should have threatened suspensions and detentions for anyone using the flag in a way other than it is intended to be used. That's what upsets me about this. They took the coward's way out and 'banned' the flag. I agree, this should have been an opportuntity to learn flag etiquette. I am ashamed at how poor a job we do in teaching kids as a society about the flag and it's meaning, and how to properly display it. It is typically a 10 minute lecture in some Social Science class. They should have a flag ceremony every day and allow every kid to raise and lower the flag during the course of the year. One interesting debate we have down here, is the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag. We have so many immigrants from around the globe, Asia, Canada, and of course Mexico and further south. I believe it is wrong to demand they pledge allegiance to the flag when they are not even citizens. Many maquilla workers are down here on a couple year contract and return to their corporate headquarters after they get "international" experience. They are working in Mexico, living in the US, and citizens of Tiawan, China, Canada, Brasil, etc. If I was on a job in Tiawan, I wouldn't be pledging allegiance to their flag.

Actually go out and win something and the respect follows. Canada has the Canadians and Maple Leafs #1 and #2, because hockey players can win anything Ehh!

It shows disrespect for the American flag when it is used as an object to harm people. I guess liberals can understand that better. As an example, there are plenty of hate groups that have wrapped themselves in the US flag and used it to intimidate anyone who doesn't think like them. I do not like seeing the flag of my country used that way. Fly it with dignity and respect, or don't fly it at all. I see them being dragged on the ground, tossed in people faces, snapped at people like whips, and get rather upset. If someone wants to use that as an example of a liberal defending banning the flag, so be it. Maybe conservatives, like whitesoxfan101, don't mind the flag being used that way, but I do. I believe it is banning the disrespectful use of the flag, not the flag itself.
