Curious how many Democrats agree with these actions?

The "Blue Line Flag", like the "Peace Now" flag, are desecrations of the American Flag.

They are flown by those who want to separate themselves from other Americans.

Anti-ICE protesters pull down American flag, raise Mexico flag, vandalize 'Blue Lives Matter' flag

I know that very few republicans and probably few independents would not agree with what these ones have done in this video.

Just curious how many democrats here on site support the actions of these ones that took down our American Flag and put up the Mexican flag?

Sorry Bob, I messed up your poll. I voted 'no' but I'm not a Democrat so I shouldn't have voted.

That kinda shoots the "America is racist for wanting to keep illegals out" right in the butt doesn't it?

Yes, little children are being atrociously abused by the Trump administration so they are in fear. If you are a decent person you should def. hate that.

You talk to goats? Are you trying to be a meme about Trump supporters or something?

You take advice from goats? You really are a Trump supporter.

Biblically speaking, it's a very bad idea to be a goat. Jesus definitely had some harsh words for goats (Matthew 25:31-46) and things didn't work out too well for the goats after He got done with them.

Matthew 25:13
And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty. [32] And all nations shall be gathered together before him, and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats: [33] And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left. [34] Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. [35] For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in:

[36] Naked, and you covered me: sick, and you visited me: I was in prison, and you came to me. [37] Then shall the just answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, and fed thee; thirsty, and gave thee drink? [38] And when did we see thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and covered thee? [39] Or when did we see thee sick or in prison, and came to thee? [40] And the king answering, shall say to them: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it to one of these my least brethren, you did it to me.

[41] Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels. [42] For I was hungry, and you gave me not to eat: I was thirsty, and you gave me not to drink. [43] I was a stranger, and you took me not in: naked, and you covered me not: sick and in prison, and you did not visit me. [44] Then they also shall answer him, saying: Lord, when did we see thee hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister to thee? [45] Then he shall answer them, saying: Amen I say to you, as long as you did it not to one of these least, neither did you do it to me.

[46] And these shall go into everlasting punishment: but the just, into life everlasting.

So yes, goats are indeed Trump supporters.

Bad news for you.
Goats say Trump in 2020 -- no problem.

Have you told your doctor that you talk to your goats & get your advice from them?

Speaking as a liberal veteran activist, I support the constitutional right to freedom of speech and the right of the people to peacefully assemble and petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Does that support also extend to those you don't agree with?
Note: I'm not saying I disagree with you on this particular issue. I don't, as regards those actions that weren't vandalism. I just want to know how far your support of freedom of speech and assembly goes.
Would you support extending the same rights to people burning the "pride" flag, for instance? Or neo-nazis spraypainting swastikas on government property, raising the flag of Nazi Germany, etc?

I have a distinct feeling that your support for "freedom of speech" and "the right of assembly" is limited to those with whom you agree, but of course I might be mistaken. It's been known to happen on rare occasions

Meh. While I sort of agree that they shouldn't have removed the flag, it's sort of a non-issue in the long run. To be honest, I'm more concerned that the facility had a Blue Lives Matter flag flying. No government facility should be displaying a flag associated with a particular political movement, and yes I think that applies to the rainbow flag as well, even if it's not the same thing.

How is it not the same?
In fact, the "pride"-flag is explicitly political while the Blue Lives Matter-flag isn't. Unless you want to claim that caring about the safety of police officers is a political issue, in which case I have nothing to say to you that the Helen Lovejoys that roam this place would allow to be said.

Does that statement apply to this too?

Yep. It's divisive and disrespectful to the flag, just like these:





Don't get me wrong. They have a perfect right to desecrate the flag if they wish. The Constitution is absolutely more important than the flag. But it's still a desecration and an insult to America.

I have no problem with either political stance; I just wish they wouldn't disrespect our flag to express it.

Exactly as caring about the safety of any other group that is hated by scum is a political issue. Even the nazis, despicable as they are, are entitled to the same rights and safety we would have for ourselves. It's political, because there are those who would rig the laws to violate the rights of those people.

It's why we have a Constitution; it's a wall of protection against governmental abuses.

Your poll completely removes the action from its appropriate context.

I don't think its meant to be taken as a serious replacement for our current flag.
