The flag of the Republic of Vietnam maybe symbolic to some people in Westminster and Garden Grove, but it does not possess the same level of symbolic gesture as the flags of other groups as you would like to believe. Unlike you and your friends, the Tibetans in Tibet are physically resisting their oppressors and risking their life to free Tibet. The Tibetans here in the States fly their flag in support of their bretheren’s plight back home.

There is no physical struggle to free Communist Vietnam and to restore the former regime, so whatever symbolism you find is purely for personal reasons and not symbolic to any cause.

How do you perceive YOURSELF (alone, not for others) as a Vietnamese-American before I can engage further? Are you a Vietnamese living in the United States?

republican,

The flag, in the contemporary American context, represents the Vietnamese-American community. It was officially recognized as such by the city councils of Westminster and Garden Grove a few years back. It is not silly.

Tibetan-Americans, for example, fly the national flag of Tibet. And why not?

What is the relationship between the Rev. Jim Jones and the Jonestown and the flag of the (South) Republic of Vietnam? Please explain.

I don’t get this, the parading of the flag of the defunct South Vietnam. Do they know that they look utterly silly holding something that does not exist and has nothing to do with democracy and the Democratic party? Yet, they want to be taken seriously? Who’s passing the Cool-Aid (see Jim Jones and Jones town) around?

That’s me in yellow covering my face with the ‘Skater for Obama’ sign. Didn’t want to show my support for the man on camera.

American Woman, our progressive income tax structure is already a form of income redistribution. And don’t tell me the the tax structure is unfair. Our country is currently experiencing the highest level of wealth inequality. Based on your misinformed comments, perhaps you should enroll in one of these “liberal” universities. You may learn a thing or two about economics, government or even rational thought.

Keep on wishing and hoping, Bolsavik. You’re just frustrated that the Viet community is so GOP-leaning. Fatcts are still facts and you won’t live to see the day that this community is going Democratic, which is about …. 100 years from now. Haha!!

Bolsavik,

So you’re trying to apply the Dems in an Jose to that of Southern California? Who are you trying to fool, really?

Didn’t the same LA Times publish a story over the weekend with a poll showing that McCain beat out Nobama by well over a 2-1 margin? Don’t hold my brreath for you to print that.

The more you post, the more you only show your blind bias, Bolsavik.
