Five White Students Got Sent Home For Wearing The American Flag Today!


Why pick Cinco de Mayo to display American patriotism? That's the question that was on a lot of Latinos minds when they learned about the t-shirt incident in Morgan Hill,California.Five white students decided to wear t-shirts that had the American flag emblazoned on it.They knew that today is Cinco de Mayo.

Isn't that kind of disrespectful? But,the boys claim that they didn't mean anything by it.Really?!!I think that this whole display was sparked by all of the furor that has been caused by Arizona's new immigration law.

Here's more on this story from Gilroy Dispatch:

"More than 100 students were spotted wearing red, white and green as they were leaving school. Some had the Mexican flag painted on their faces or on their arms.

Nothing in Live Oak's dress code policy addresses what transpired Wednesday, but it does state that "the school has the right to request that any student dressing inappropriately for school will change into other clothes, be sent home to change, and/or be subject to disciplinary action."

One Mexican-American student, freshman Laura Ponce, had a Mexican flag painted on her face and chest, peaking out of her low-cut shirt. She did it because, "it's our day, the only day we can show our spirit." A school administrator took away the Mexican flag she was carrying as she was waiting to go home. Ponce said: "not cool."

"There was a lot of drama going on today," Ponce said. Some were saying "Mexico sucks" while Mexican-American students responded in their second language.

"Some were yelling Spanish to us," Maciel said, who is half-Hispanic. "I couldn't understand it, but it sounded bad."

Some Mexican-American students said that their flags were taken away or asked to be put away, but none were sent home for wearing red, white and green. Since Boden would not comment, it's uncertain if any other students were sent home for what they were wearing on Cinco de Mayo.

Live Oak High School even hosted a group of professional baile folklorico dancers, who waved flags and played traditional music from Mexico.

"It's sad it's come to this," Fagerstrom said. "But we stand behind their patriotic nature and the boys expressing their individuality."

The boys wrote a two-paragraph statement that they each signed detailing their support for American patriotism and that they felt disrespected and discriminated against when their First Amendment rights were discarded Wednesday at school."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the entire article here.

Joy Behar Had The Most Introspective "View" On Abortion! Whoopi Goldberg Did Not!


There was a very intense debate over abortion between the ladies of "The View" today.It sprung from the new Oklahoma anti-abortion law that has been temporarily blocked.This state law mandates that women see the baby that they want to abort in an ultrasound & that they have the fetus described to them in detail.Needless to say,this is a very controversial law.

Now,I really agree with Joy Behar's comments on this issue.She refuted Whoopi Goldberg's ridiculous assertion that every woman takes abortion seriously.Joy told Whoopi that some women don't think twice before they make the decision to abort a fetus.Unfortunately,I have known a few women who seem to think that having an abortion is just another form of birth control.

These women didn't even want to take preventative measures,like using a condom.Instead,they would rather have 13 abortions than prevent the pregnancy in the first place.And I'm not over exaggerating,either.I really do know women who have had that many abortions!!!

I think that the Oklahoma law is over the top.It should only be applied if a woman has had more than one abortion.Then,she should be required to have a ultrasound & learn more about the fetuses that she keeps aborting.After having one botched abortion,I can honestly say that I will never have another one.

It turned out to be more than just a difficult decision for me.That experience was deeply traumatic because the fetus didn't die the first time.I was in excruciating pain when they had to vacuum that same fetus out of me less than a week after the first procedure.

And this was all done at a legitimate abortion clinic that Kaiser Hospital referred me to.It was not a back alley abortion.But,it sure felt like one.I suffered tremendously after having only one abortion.Even though that happened to me,I believe that women should have the right to choose when it comes to their body.Everybody has the right to make good or bad decisions in life.Life is about learning lessons from the choices that we make.

I have gone to a First Choice clinic before.They provide the same services that this new Oklahoma abortion law requires.Whoopi Goldberg seems to think that being educated about the fetus before you abort it will be traumatizing.Well,for me,it was not.What happened after I got the abortion caused great turmoil in my life.

This faith based non-profit organization even offers post abortion support & referrals.They give you all the ammunition you need to make a decision one way or another.If a woman is persuaded by all that she learns not to have an abortion,what's wrong with that? Every possible avenue that is out there should be presented to a woman who is contemplating what to do with an unwanted pregnancy.That is my view on abortion.

I Don't Believe The Rumors About President Obama Cheating On His Wife!


Anybody who would cheat on Michelle Obama is nuts!She's the whole package.I mean,you can't get much better than a brainy beauty with a banging body that hardly looks a day over 30.Nonetheless,the National Enquirer has put out a story that claims President Obama had an affair with a woman named Vera Baker ,who is his former campaign aide.

Since they were on the money about the John Edwards affair,some folks have given credence to this story from the gossip rag.But,I am not buying it.I believe that the Obamas are a shining example of what the perfect family is.And that really pisses some people off.So,they spend every waking moment trying to discredit their loving union.These baseless rumors are representative of that sad fact.That's my take on this latest piece of hearsay.

Here's the National Enquirer story:

"UPDATED: Reports out of Washington, DC: PRESIDENT OBAMA in a shocking cheating scandal after being caught in a Washington, D.C. Hotel with a former campaign aide.

A confidential investigation has learned that Obama first became close to gorgeous 35 year-old VERA BAKER in 2004 when she worked tirelessly to get him elected to the US Senate, raising millions in campaign contributions.

Now, the investigators are searching for a hotel surveillance videotape.

While Baker has insisted in the past that "nothing happened" between them, reports reveal that top anti-Obama operatives are offering more than $1 million to witnesses to reveal what they know about the alleged hush-hush affair."(END OF EXCERPT)Read more here.
