The Other Side

I can’t even begin to start explaining just how bad this hit me.

Michelle Malkin: Hoisting the Mexican flag at a US post office

I do not want to come across as prejudiced, because that really isn’t what is causing my feelings. When I am in Mexico, I am glad to see that the Mexican flag is proudly displayed. Countrymen should be fiercely proud of their homeland as I am. But for people that choose to leave their country of origin so they can participate in the opportunities available in our nation, is it too much to ask that they respect our customs and our prides?

I keep having to erase and rewrite what I am typing because I am just furious about this whole thing. I am equally frustrated that we aren’t seeing this in the main stream media. Are they afraid that some on who immigrated here might be offended?

Well, I’m offended. I’m sick and tired of us always having to walk on egg shells to be politically correct about every stinking thing. There is nothing wrong with being proud of your origins, but if I chose to move to Turkey, for instance, I certainly wouldn’t try to hang a U.S. flag in a Turkish post office. Many places around the world, I’m sure that could get you killed or at least jailed for a while. Here it is called “expressing oneself.”

Read my lips, THIS WAS WRONG! This is NOT the way to make me sympathetic to your cause. If you want to live under the Mexican flag, then please do…in Mexico!

I’m afraid this is what we have gotten in return for being so accepting of everyone and being so afraid to hurt any one’s feelings.
