VictoryMC98 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Roads spending isn't just done by the federal government, you know that right? But we are talking about the federal money to rebuild our INFRASTRUCTURE.. which is more than Roads. You know that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cknolls Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 http://www.allamericanblogger.com/17271/lo...everyone-there/ His thugs are not trespassing or anything, right. His fellow thugs are not violating a court order or anything, right? Maybe he could get a job teaching phonics at at the local grammar school. Unions are awesome baby. I would love to have one of these f***tards threaten me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 QUOTE (God Loves The Infantry @ Sep 9, 2011 -> 03:11 PM) I don't know why on Earth they'd put my name next to that flag, but hey, it's their country. So I don't really care. My American family and friends would commemorate my life and death according to my wishes, with American flags, so that'd be satisfactory. He's a coward for trying so pathetically hard to appease foreign visitors at the expense of patriotic Americans. His comment that I've already harped on a few times shows that he's just worried about offending a few people who are different. What expense? Accuracy? The understanding that American businesses hire workers from all corners of the globe? At least down here, when out local soldiers come home, dead or alive, I see a lot of Mexican flags as well as U.S. to commemorate their often times dual citizenship. I guess if you were here you would rip the Mexican flag out of the hands of their families? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Walmart built a road, well paid for a road, in my town. They donated the land and paid most of the cost of the road. Of course it led to a WalMart but it connected two well traveled roads and really is a nice shortcut to many businesses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference right now is that the states can't issue us treasuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would that not be trying to change the subject? And the ROI is for the FED, not the states. Do you have a better idea to help jump start the economy?

The Sir Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 QUOTE (Tex @ Sep 9, 2011 -> 07:30 PM) Still what expense? If your Mexican immigrant loved one who is an American Soldier comes home from a deployment, go ahead and wave Mexican flags. I'm personally not sure why you would, since he wears an American flag patch on his right sleeve and is fighting in the United States Army. But hey, it's your loved one and if that's how he wants his homecoming celebrated, fine by me. Your claim that I'd go down and rip flags out of peoples' hands is idiotic.

Again, you said at the expense of, what expense is there if flags are flown from other countries? And just like some Italian- Americans, Irish-Americans, etc are proud of their ancestry, so too are Mexican-Americans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sir Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I don't understand your question. If Mexican Americans are proud of their heritage, let them fly their flags. I don't care. That doesn't have anything to do with my insistence that 9/11 was an American tragedy and not a world tragedy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say that because you see the world differently at 40 than 12. The outpouring of support from around the world was amazing. I remember watching the coverage, nations everywhere shared in our grief and outrage. It's like saying the holocaust was a German or Jewish tragedy. People around the globe waving American flags, leading prayer services, lighting candles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calm down there, I was staying out of it.. since I already know how you are going to respond, and its not worth either one of our times to discuss it. I will go back and see what you stated..
