Honor the Flag

Readers here were pretty irate about the banning of American flags at an American school. So I thought that the announcement below might be of some interest:

"This Thursday, April 6, has been deemed "Take an American Flag to Work Day" by the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps to detract attention away from Mexican flags displayed in pro-illegal protests and bring focus to values of the red, white and blue".

Regardless of what you think of the Minutemen (and I think they shame the U.S. government), it seems like a good patriotic idea to me. Too bad if some twisted souls deem patriotism to be "incorrect" these days.

Update

Sorry that what I wrote above was a bit ambiguous. I meant that it was a shame that the Minutemen had to do what the U.S. government should be doing. Australia DID have an illegal immigration problem -- with mostly Muslim "boat people" -- but our government put them all in jail -- which stopped any more from coming. From an Australian viewpoint, it is very difficult to understand why the U.S. government refuses to control its borders.
