Is there an Mexican Flag Double Standard?



Tip of the Hat to The Pink Flamingo. Ruben Navarrette Jr. is one of the best reporters on immigration. He is attacked on all sides. His reporting was stellar during the immigration debate. He sadly get tons of email saying either "Move back to Mexico" or "Why are you selling out your people!!!!" Thus he is often the Patron Saint Journalist Saint for those of us that want some sane discussion on this emotional issue.

Anyway he has a interesting article at The Mexican Flag Double Standard. I agree with that in part. I often defend people that fly the Confederate flag because that flag represents some important values to people. Besides let say some extreme elements that you might find in some extreme groups like the League of the South( Notice I said some League of the South readers) , the majority of these people are patriotic Americans.
