Slick 60's

Saw this Texas, Mansfield at a Hospital where she was told to take the AMERICAN Flag down by of ALL Things somebody not even from this country, that offened that person WELL This SOB Needs to be run out of this country and if nobody likes the AMERICAN Flag well just go to wherever you came from and XXXX With you , Now this does not apply and hope does not piss off some of our memebers in other countries But I know I would not try to go in there country and do this,,, If your in France, Japan, down under, Canada or in another state lets show some respect for their flags or their laws sorry just had to rave about this a little

GREG, Like thanks for that link to it, I watched it on TV But with the e-mail link ALL I can say is that I sent a E-Mail to the studio and said my thoughts on it which was not offensive to anybody except to the SOB Supervisor, and again Thanks Greg one more note this of all weekends Memorial Weekend to do it

Chalk one up for the Red, White, and Blue. I'm glad to see that the peoples reactions prevailed and the Flag was able to be put back up..... Hip, Hip, Hooray!!!!!!

Texas hospitality (no pun intended). Sometimes it bites you.

Now I would be shocked , but not terribly surprised on afterthought, if that happened in Canada. I would feel like Tom does, and wonder what that person was doing in my country if they were offended by me flying my Countries' flag there. But for this to happen in the States? and in Texas of all the States?

knock me down with a feather.

That's absolutely amazing that some one would even think that the FLAG is offensive living in our great country. Send them packing back to where they came from.

One by one, our freedoms are being taken.
freedom of speech... only if it doesn't hurt someone elses feelings...
freedom to arm yourself.... go ahead, but you won't able to buy amo.
public display of the 10 commandments.... not in a public building.

The US is heading toward socialism at the speed of stupid...

TV Station took the time to send me a e-mail back thanking me and many others for concern on this issue,

This is definitely not the norm for TEXAS !!!
Working for a NASA contractor and living close to "country folk" in the Alvin, Pearland, Manvel, Santa Fe area, we always respectfully display our flags, get goosebumps and tear up when we hear the National Anthem, send care packages to the soldiers and thank them abundantly for their service when we see them!!

Driving thru Milan Tn yesterday and noticed a beautiful display of American flags set up for memorial day.
It looked to be a grid of 50 flags set on a well maintained rolling church yard with the sun setting in the background thru thunderheads in the distance.
The air was crisp and clean from a cold front passing thru and there was a perfect breeze blowing that had the flags fluttering in waves

It was a very moving sight to behold and I wished I had a camera on me to capture the moment or the time to stop and watch the sunset from the sidewalk there.

Got home about 11 last night and saw this news article and it just burned me deep and hard.
Normally I would just mutter a couple of foul words but like I said it burned in me extra hard this time.
