The American Flag - Offensive?

Earlier this week, I heard the story of a group of students from University of California (Irvine) that voted to ban the American flag from the school lobby. In a 6-4-2 vote, the student council amazingly won the initial battle to remove Old Glory. The reason they give is that it's for the sake of "cultural inclusiveness". How do they come up with this stuff?? I've heard some wacky sh*t from the Left Coast, but this one takes the cake!

The "offended" students tried to explain that the American flag has been a symbol of imperialism and colonialism. One student elaborated further by saying that the sight of the flag might hurt the feelings of illegal immigrants. We have entered a new age of stupidity, folks! It's bad enough that we reward these criminals for breaking our border laws. Now we have to worry about hurting their feelings by flying OUR flag?? Are you freggin' kidding me?

By the way, have you ever noticed that the left is all for the for the freedom of expression unless it's something that "offends" them.

The political correctness has run a muck! We've now reached a point in America where it's offensive to be proud of America. Is there anything left that doesn't offend these American-hating douchebags? Hmm, I wonder if any American tax dollars are subsidizing the education of the "offended" students? I have a suspicion that the answer is yes. Of course, the American entitlements never seem to offend them. But the epitome of American pride and unity does. Makes perfect sense, huh?

If it wasn't bad enough that the disillusioned students felt this way, take a deep breath because it gets worse. A group of professors at UC-Irvine also joined the lunacy by signing a letter of solidarity with the students. The professors say (and you almost knew this was coming) that the American flag contributes to racism. Yes, so now you're a Klansman if you display the red, white and blue. I guess it's only a matter of time before Reverend Al starts organizing boycotts and protests. Hey, maybe Michael Moore can show up with his film crew for a rousing rendition of Kumbaya over the campfire while they all roast American flags.

Instead of embracing all of the great things the United States has contributed to the world, these assholes continue to focus on it's mistakes. This is like pointing out that Babe Ruth struck out a lot. True, but he also hit a hell of lot of balls out of the park! These ungrateful pricks need to ask themselves, "What would the world be like without America."

(In a recent development, the executive leadership of the student government met and vetoed the decision to remove the flag. Perhaps there is a glimmer of hope.)

I'm not sure how far this craziness will go will go. But I, along with countless other Americans, will never be ashamed of the American flag or, more importantly, what it represents. To anyone who claims to be offended my flag, I have a real simple solution....pack you bags and get the f*ck out of my country!
