What statement are you trying to make with your signature picture? The one with the upside down american flag flying underneath the mexican flag.

Just curious

    That America has bowed to the superior country.

    Congress and the President have sold us out and are giving away your and my Social Security to foreigners along with the rest of the country.



    The United States lost and Mexico won. Anyone that can't see that is blind.

    I'll agree that we have been sold out! I'll agree social security has now lost another 20 years! I'll agree to alot of things!

    BUT I STILL THINK IT IS A FORM OF TREASON TO DISPLAY OUR FLAG IN THAT MANOR! THERE ARE OTHER WAYS TO SHOW YOUR DISLIKE FOR THE SITUATION. AND PERSONALLY I (AND I WOULD THINK ANY OTHER VETERAN OF THIS COUNTRY) TAKE OFFENCE TO DISPLAYING THE FLAG I FOUGHT TO DEFEND IN THAT MANOR!

    United States Code
    Title 4, Chapter 1 - The Flag
    Sec. 8. Respect for flag
    SubSec. (a)

    "The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property."


    If 10+ million people that entered this country via an illegal invasion that is still ongoing...bringing drugs and firearms into this country...bringing Al Quaeda into this country...killing American's...sapping our Social System....and gaining control of our country by 2020 isn't distress......

    WTH is?

    I don't have the code for it, but, it also says in there that no flag should be flown at a higher level that the US flag. That is were the problem lies. If you just showed a picture of the flag upside down or upside down with the messican flag below it then I wouldn't have a problem with it. Heck I might even join you.

    Yes, Red is correct, and no, it's not treason, but I still don't like to see my flag treated in such a manner. It is a form of disrespect.

    I think Red's heart is in the right place, he just sees thing a little differently than I do.

    Flying the United States flag with the Union Jack at the bottom as a sign of distress is a fairly recent thing. For most of my Navy career the United States flag was never to be hoisted upside down under any circumstances. Now it is officially recognized as a distress signal.

    "Distress" means imminent danger of loss of life, serious injury or significant property loss. Flying the flag upside down as a political statement is not only disrespectful, it degrades its significance as a distress signal.

    The United States flag can be burned, spat upon, used as toilet paper, clothing, and various other ways which raise my blood pressure, while I am supposed to stand by and smile, so I don't think simply flying it upside down rates the death penalty.

    Well, I know the flag on the Army Post where I'm stationed is flying the correct way with no flags above it, just wondering why red thinks HIS flag is special.

    You guys can interpret "the code" anyway you want to, but if I see it flying like that with a mexican flag over the top of it, then it's coming down.

    I think the Mexican flag flown above the US flag in duress signifies that Mexicans won and American's lost.

    There is absolutely nothing American's can do to stop the invasion into the United States by Chinese, Vietnamese, Phillipino, South American, Iranian, or Mexican illegal immigrants.

    Congress and the President are siding with the criminals and not for the citizens of the United States of America.

    But heh if you don't have a problem with that....200 million other Americans don't either.

    Who said I didn't have a problem with illegals coming into the US??

    What, pray tell, will posting an upside down American Flag underneath a mexican flag do to stop the flow of illegals?

    When they get here they won't know what country they're in. We're also going to switch the signs at the border so the illegals head south instead of north. By the time they realize they're going the wrong way they'll be in Brazil.

    What SHOULD be done with all the illegals?

    Make sure you answer realistically.

    Deportation of 10 million people would be impossible don't you think?

    I kind of agree with what is "SUPPOSED" to happen to the illegals.

    Everyone deserves the right to become a US citizen.

    just a touch of realism would help.

    1st - slow the influx down by patrolling and more border emphasis.

    2nd - deport the illegals we can find and identify.

    3rd - welcome the ones trying to make a better life here in the US, not making money (tax free) to send home to mexico.

    yes, and I want to believe in tinkerbell as well

    We gave them amnesty in the 1980's and failed to build a wall.

    The Dept. of Homeland Security can create prison camps and imprison people that illegally entered the country and use them to build a wall. Involuntary Servitude is 100% legal in America, use captured people who comitted a crime to perform labor...illegal immigrants.

    This wall wouldn't see any visitors and wouldn't need to be pretty. Matter of fact I would want it as ugly and unwelcoming as possible. Used crushed cars that are formed into cubes as the blocks and stack away.

    Immediately the US Congress needs to ban the payment of any Social Security benefits to anyone outside of the United States of America.

    The US Congress must rescind it's previous ruling that illegals that stole your ID and worked here...are entitled to Social Security.

    The US military would immediately restructure itself and perform the sole job it was created to perform...prevent an invasion of the 50 States that it was created to protect.

    So far the US military hasn't performed it's role in this invasion has it?

    You wouldn't have to deport 10 million illegal aliens from around the world. By merely capturing 10,000 and putting them in prison camps to build a wall would remind them WE ARE AMERICANS and if you want to be one pay the frekin $345 and get your citizenship or get the heck out.

    In Charlotte the other day the Police Chief apologized publicly for one of his officers reporting an illegal to INS.

    In case anyone is curious on how many millions were given amnesty since 1986.

    "The toleration of illegal immigration undermines all of our labor; it rips at the social fabric. It's a race to the bottom. The one who plays by the rules is penalized... a guest worker program guarantees wages will never go up, and there is no way American citizens can compete with guest workers."
