Your avatar makes your post more interesting. If that flag had had the word "nigger" (yes, I said it) on it, no one would be questioning the appropriateness of its removal.
Burning a US flag is free speech; removing an illegally flown Mexican flag is not.
Conclusion: Free speech must be approved by the left.
