That's me, liberal, empty-headed, pretentious, and, worst of all, typical.

The bar owner knew full well what he was doing when he placed the Mexican flag over OUR flag. If you think otherwise, I've got some garbage dump in Tijuana I would be happy to sell to you...

He was being deeply disrespectful of this country. I cannot imagine going to Mexico City and denegrating their flag. If he didn't take the time to learn our traditions before flying the flags that way, then shame on him. If he did take the time to learn and went ahead anyway, then double shame on him.
Anybody know whether Mexico has a flag protocol similar to ours?

It is one thing to have to put up with criminals in other countries stomping on our flag, burning it, spitting it on it. Hell if we are going to put up with it here.

Criminals? How did that get into this discussion? The only potential criminal I see is the guy stealing one flag and vandalizing the other.
I agree with your earlier comment, though, about not wanting to proscecute the Veteran in the video. Maybe someone could talk to him and explain that, whatever his motivations, he shouldn't be messing with another man's private property. Property rights, I am sure he will agree, are another important American tradition.

Whether the action of the bar owner were legal or not is not the point. Flying the flag of HIS country over the flag of OUR country is big "f**k you gringos!"

You're probably right on that one.

If you want to bend over and let barbarians get over the gate, fine. You do it...

What are you talking about? You think that flag owner shouldn't be allowed in the country?
This has been a nice chat, but I was really hoping we could get back to why your analysis of the legislative history was so far off the mark.
