- - - - - Flag-Burning in New Hampshire! - - - - -
You've all seen various and assorted folks throughout the world burning flags as a method of protest. Ninety-nine percent of those have been American flags.
So, it's no surprise that a bunch of protesters in New Hampshire want to burn a flag, right?
Well this bunch is a little unusual. See the pic HERE, see the story HERE.
A tip 'o the hat to Kim du Toit.
Strange - None of the major news outlets (AP/CNN/ABC/FOX/Etc) picked this up. Of course, had it been an American flag being burned in New Hampshire, it would have been all over the news for the next sixteen days, with much pontificating about how the US is falling apart, showing it's divisions, blah-blah-blah.

It would appear that the government of Mexico is encouraging illegal immigration to the US. Not surprising, considering how much money illegal immigrants send back home.
And what brings this minor rant on? See the whole article HERE.
"We are not inviting them to cross, but we're doing everything we can to save lives," said Elizabeth García Mejía, chief coordinator for the Nogales, Sonora, section of Mexico's Grupo Beta migrant protection service.

I suppose that's true, up to a point. But, if you'll recall, the Mexican government screamed bloody murder when we took the tiniest steps to control our own borders.
