Look for a new postage stamp proudly displaying Montezuma's face, coming soon.

Backers of illegal immigration at a rally near Los Angeles took down an American flag at a U.S. post office, stamped on it and replaced it with a Mexican flag as police looked on, according to witnesses and a video of the event.

Police officers in Maywood, Calif., Saturday eventually came to the pole to remove the flag but had bottles and rocks thrown at them, a radio listener named Sandra reported to the Terry Anderson show, heard on KRLA in Los Angeles.

The radio listener, volunteering for Save our State, said that when she arrived at the rally she was rushed by counter-protesters who called out, "Death to the Minutemen."

"They pushed me around and told me if I was to take one step further, they would beat the s*** out of me," Sandra said. "I looked to the back of me and there were about four police officers leaning on their vehicle just watching, doing nothing!"

As she stepped forward, Sandra said, the counter-protesters stole her sign and ripped it up as another threw water on her.

A police officer eventually escorted her to her group.

The opposition, she said, began to get louder, and then "we watched as they took the American flag off of the flag pole and stepped on it on the ground at the United States post office and mounted a Mexican flag, and up it went."

At this point , she said, "the police did nothing."

"Finally, they went over to take it down, and they had bottles and rocks thrown at them," she said. "They did not attempt to arrest anyone. They were unable to take it down because they cut the wrong line so the flag remained there for the rest of the day."

Sandra said that as police officers watched, another woman was beaten, as well as an elderly man, noting the counter-protesters "tend to pick on the weaker targets."

Hm, cops standing around twiddling their thumbs during the commission of a crime, while eating burritos and donuts. Imagine my surprise. American citizens were assaulted, and the flag of a foreign third-world cesspool was hoisted above a U.S. post office--and no one was arrested? By the way, since broken bottles and rocks hurled in one's direction offer the possibility of injury or even death, why was no action taken? I can tell you, if I was a cop, and someone threw rocks and busted bottles at me, I'd be tempted toward exercising the "Shoot first, and get my Spanish interpreter to ask questions later" option.

This outrageous affront and other behavior like it is getting out of hand. That we're even discussing this indicates the abject failure of our "leaders" in addressing the Wetback Takeover. I'd be more shocked by our government approaching this issue in a meaningful manner than I would if Dubya had appeared at the anti-whitey rally, urinated on the castigated flag in full view of the video cameras, and offered photos of himself kissing Vicente Fox's pockmarked naked backside.

People have died on battlefields, ensuring that those colors didn't touch the ground. That our police force would look on as non-citizen invaders desecrate this flag on American soil is the most despicable kind of mockery.
