Oh, BROTHER. Talk about a double standard. I like that one guy's shirt looks like it has part of the Constitution on it. :) It reminds me of 'Community' -- they try to be politically correct and so decide to call themselves the 'Greendale Human Beings' so as not to discriminate. But then when they go to come up with a mascot costume, they have to make sure they choose a neutral skin color and no features that will offend anyone. One of the characters points out that in trying not to offend anybody they ended up offending pretty much everybody.

We saw this in our hotel this morning...it was about the stupidest thing I've ever heard! First of all, it isn't even that big of a deal in Mexico: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cinco_de_Mayo

Second, if someone decided to wear Mexican flag imagery on their clothes on the 4th of July, no one would care.

Third, and most important, as you pointed out...WE ARE IN AMERICA...wear patriotic clothing any day, any time, any place (in America) you want!!!

thanks for the heads up.

they weren't causing trouble, they weren't threatening anybody. they were being patriotic. nothing wrong with that. no matter when it is.

I shouldn't have read this. I am just so frustrated and angry about how AZ is getting a whole lot of crap for our new law which is NO DIFFERENT than the laws in Mexico. Anyone else remember when people came to America because they wanted to be Americans?
