I recently received an e-mail that brought the word Reconquista back to mind. Originally the word referred to the time in Europe when the Christian territories in Iberia were retaken from the Muslim Moors. The Reconquest lasted from about 722 A.D. to 1492 A.D.
Anyway the e-mail showed an American flag upside down and below a Mexican flag. This was done at Montebello High School in California by a student from nearby Whittier High following a proposed immigration bill back in 2006

These are just idealistic high schoolers. What bothers me is the one thrown up above a Post Office in Maywood, Ca. It's a federal building you know. I know that when Billary gets elected most buildings will have the opportunity to become federal. However, the Post Office does have special significance to me. BTW, If one doesn't have the new national ID card (the one required to enter a federal building in 2014) would you still be able to go to the Post Office? But I digress.
