You did. It just got lost in other's (including my own) dross. Very simply, my basic gut reaction is that the way to combat incideniary political speech is not to repress it but to bring it out, expose it, discuss it, and, as Milton would say, allow the calumny to be exposed for what it is. If wearing American, Mexican or Confederate flags is somehow or someway offensive to someone, don't prohibit people from expressing these offensive thoughts - use speech of your own to demonstrate why it is offensive or, better yet, engage the person making the statement.
The way to defeat "bad" speech is use "good" speech.
You are right I don't understand you. I actually learn something from Slinging Sammy and his free market religion. But personally I can't find anything more fake than a t-shirt activist.

I say to make the liberals happy change the law saying the cops can only ask guys and fat chicks to prove they are citizens. The hot mexican chicks get the fast path to citzen ship.

And, therefore, and as you indicated before, you support the governmental restriction of individual free speech when it supports a group or organization that has opposed "america" (like the confederates).

I said personally. I don't think my personal feelings should always be the law.

Ahhh, so you meant to say "I don't like that they wear them" and not
I feel like they should be able to wear the Amercian flag, but not the confederate flag (seeing as they wer fighting against america).
Sorry, couldn't tell if you were being internally inconsistent or just blatantly misusing the english language. All good. Thanks for the clarification.

Look they were clearly attempting to wear the t-shirts to provoke a violent reaction, but if they want to get beat up so be it. Nothing was gonna be done to the Mexicans who cold cocked them anyway. Fist fights are simple assaults. Then you would be on here crying about using police to protect a damn t-shirt.

I would? Really? That's what you gathered from my "the way to beat "bad speech" is by using "good speech" comment? Interesting.
So, in order to ensure public safety, we must all make no statements with our clothing that may offend others? Please describe the mandated uniform for me so I may run out and purchase it - is a black or brown shirt? Sieg Heil!
