Tearing down some other countries flag is hardly something to concider a patriotic act.

I guess the guys on Iwo Jima were pretty "unpatriotic" by your definition...

Also waving your own nations flag arround everywhere doesnt make you a patriot, while standing for your country and its ideals does.

So, what's the problem? I'm standing by my patriotic ideals by posting my convictions in this forum and I'm close to being condemned for them... I am a patriotic citizen. I stand by my country for what our Founding Fathers believed in and what the Constitution of the United States guarantees. I'm as much a patriot for my country as anyone else is for theirs.
As far as the flag incident is concerned, it boils down to this:
The National Flag of Mexico OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY has NO, repeat NO, reason or right to be flown in this OR ANY OTHER COUNTRY outside of the lawful and prescribed manner as SUBMAN1 points out.
Maybe someone who questions "patriotism" should proudly and unabashedly display a Nazi flag at their home. See how many "patriots" show up on your doorstep...
