you ought to do soundbites. This is a good short statement.

I think your problem, and you do have a problem, is when you start lengthening your posts. You start throwing in more and more junk statements as an internet troll would do. (a quick example was bringing the southern flag into this when it had no relevance, and was simply a dig for the sake of it)

the personal pissing match aside, i thought the comparison to the students wearing confederate flag tshirts was a good comparative analysis and discussion point with regards to the students wearing US flag tshirts on cinco de mayo.

fuck, i thought i wrote some pretty good stuff back there. oh well.

ok. Same as with mredskins, perceptions are amazing, and the words impact everyone differently. I just felt he was throwing out something for the sake of getting under someone's skin, but I see your point.

You did. It just got lost in other's (including my own) dross. Very simply, my basic gut reaction is that the way to combat incideniary political speech is not to repress it but to bring it out, expose it, discuss it, and, as Milton would say, allow the calumny to be exposed for what it is. If wearing American, Mexican or Confederate flags is somehow or someway offensive to someone, don't prohibit people from expressing these offensive thoughts - use speech of your own to demonstrate why it is offensive or, better yet, engage the person making the statement.

The way to defeat "bad" speech is use "good" speech.

You are right I don't understand you. I actually learn something from Slinging Sammy and his free market religion. But personally I can't find anything more fake than a t-shirt activist.

Ah yes, you have found me out yet again and discovered that I am nothing but a mindless pawn in the hands of the mighty right wing conspiracy guiding the RNC, that my personal struggle for integrity at all times is nothing more than a poor veneer hiding my true desire to hate minorities and proclaim the Aryan State. I see that I cannot pull the wool over your eyes even for a moment. Demonstrating, yet again, how your views are always and all times correct.

And so, as jtf shouts "mission accomplished" and rides off into the night, I wish to thank him for breaking up the monotony of my day with his insightful wisdom, carefully thought out posts, cutting wit, and irrefutable logic.

Did I mention that I am still laughing? Great, Great day. Thanks jtf.

Re: Arizona's New Immigration Law

well the American flag is a bit different than a "crip" flag.. a confederate flag.. or whatever flag that isn't representative of the country

U don't use the American flag for something trivial as taunting Mexicans on Cinco de Mayo. Their school is not a battle field. How is the Irish flag treated on St. Patty's day?
