So, they'll win, because we're too busy second guessing our every move, and are more interested in that than in actually protecting ourselves in war and on our borders.

I'm so glad you cleared that us for all of us. Oh Boy! That means that the majority of people here in metro Atlanta get to exhibit violent vandal behavior everytime Adrew Young, "the Reverand" Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Al Gore, the former President Jimmy Carter etc etc etc... says something at Martin Luther King jr birthplace ( part of the National Park Service ) or perhaps the Centennial Olypmic Park (Public property).

Most hail from impoverished southern Mexico. They have no historical claim to the land.
Originally Posted By fkurucz >>Some of you California guys have a real thing about Mexicans, don't you?<< Allow me to clarify a few things: 1) I am not Californian 2) I am of Mexican ancestry 3) The problem is not about Mexicans or Hispanics. Its about how illegal immigration is transforming our nation into a 3rd world state.

Originally Posted By Dabob2 <I suppose it could be said that both groups involved were the more fanatical types.> That's what I got out of this. Would this flag thing even have happened if the SOS hadn't insisted on staging something in Maywood? Seems to me one group of fanatics decided to stage something, and another group of fanatics decided to stage something in response. It was the farthest thing from reasonable discussion or trying to find an actual solution - it was essentially one group getting fired up and saying "you guys suck!" To which another fired-up group responded "no, YOU suck!" And mob mentality takes over, and we see what we saw.

Back in the good old days we were barely 100 million people. At 300 million its starting to feel pretty full. According to a poll taken in Mexico, half of Mexico's population would move to the US if allowed to do so. Imagine 50 million new residents. And you though traffic in LA was bad now...
