Looks like this school didn't take the hint from the Cinco de Mayo flap:

Well, see, when you say "God bless America," you're secretly saying that God hates all the other countries.

Yeah, I do actually. I thought the sarcasm would be pretty obvious.  ;)

I guess I spend too much time on Fark reading about these same stories.  A LOT of people really do think that.

That's why the sarcasm works. It's like "It's Bush's Fault". Some people actually believe that.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Sure, but you don't really have to rub it in do you?
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

If they want to secede, I say let them go peacefully  ;)

They don't want to secede, they want us to subsidize our own subjugation.  After all, according to the myth, we are living on stolen, occupied Mexican land, and we owe them. 

This is the fruit of 30 years of "multiculturalism," as now codified and sanctified in our public schools and other institutions.  We are going to need a massive popular outcry against this--an outcry with teeth--to prevent what's going on from becoming a serious anarchic threat to the body politic of this Republic.

Yeah, and the worst part is that we stole the part of Mexico with the paved roads, sewer systems, and shopping malls  ;/

In many ways Mexico has already re-annexed California.  Certainly our legislature appears to put the interests of Mexico and Mexicans first.  Our budget (with all its current problems) is structured around the presence of illegal aliens.  Our future--which envisions growth to 50 million (from 38 million) within a decade--is also predicated on more immigration (mostly illegal, unless there's an amnesty) and plenty of children therefrom.

Oh, there's a grain of truth to that.  We pretty much fought Mexico for it.  I say we give the land back to Mexico, just as long as they give back all the land they stole from the natives way back when.

These people better be on the watch for when the Flag REALLY goes on the Offensive.

Fixed for clarity.

What was it that John Adams said in France?  Something about him studying war and politics, so his children could study math and navigation, so that his grandchildren could study commerce and architecture, so that those children could study sculpture and music?

Well, our kids are now studying poop-art and lazy nekkid people art so that their children can return to savagery, and their children can study war and politics all over again.

We'll have a stomach for it again.

DO you really think there is going to be a "United States of America" by the time that happens?

Maybe just a United State of Alaska.  Most of us will have to re-locate.   =)
