I'm curious on the liberal, conservative, and libertarian Shockernetter perspective on the 9th Circuit's ruling on the case discussed in this article:

Kung Wu say, man who read woman like book, prefer braille! -
Seems like a bunch of idiots making a bunch of ado over nothing. The people waving the flags were idiots that wanted to use the flag as a shield. The people yelling at the flag-wavers were idiots that wanted to use their race as a shield. At least the majority of the students seemed to realize how much a non-issue this was.
But really, how could any adult justify jumping to either side? Two brain cells among the whole lot of them. -
While visiting some distant relatives (I'm into genealogy) about 12 years ago, I noticed a Mexican flag flying in the middle of farm field. I asked about it and was told that there were threats that if anybody took it down there would be "problems" and that it had been there for years. When I enquired a little further, they said there are a good number who say "they will take back California without firing a shot". The people we were visiting were not at all racist and never uttered a word about it other than at that time. There was no lumping of all those with Mexican heritage.Originally posted by CBB_Fan View Post
I guess I've always had this idea that the American flag is a symbol of unity among a melting pot of people, not one of "symbol of racial animus". If this were strictly about Cinco De Mayo and not about any other time, I would agree with you. I believe strongly on people honoring and remembering their heritage. However, I believe it may run much deeper than that for many on both "sides" and this special day brings it to the forefront.Comment
