Wow, patriotism is a sin?

I wonder if the Founding Fathers ever thought they should have protected our right to display an American flag by putting it into writing.

Any bets that no one would have dared complain if this woman had decided to hang a gay rights flag instead of the always-evil and ever-dreaded American flag? It's such a symbol of tyranny and opression wherever you go!

I humbly submit that if having an American flag offends you so much, you go back to wherever you came from, or take the first flight out of the US.

What next?

Nevermind, I don't think I want to know. *headhands*

Woman Upset After American Flag Taken Down At Work

MANSFIELD (CBS 11 News)


Is it okay to show your patriotism at the office?

For one Arlington woman, the answer was "no" after she hung an American flag in her office just before the Memorial Day weekend.

Debbie McLucas is one of four hospital supervisors at Kindred Hospital in Mansfield. Last week, she hung a three-by-five foot American flag in the office she shares with the other supervisors.

When McLucas came to work Friday, her boss told her another supervisor had found her flag offensive. "I was just totally speechless. I was like, 'You're kidding me,'" McLucas said.

McLucas' husband and sons are former military men. Her daughter is currently serving in Iraq as a combat medic.

Stifling a cry, McLucas said, "I just wonder if all those young men and women over there are really doing this for nothing."

McLucas said the supervisor who complained has been in the United States for 14 years and is formerly from Africa. McLucas said that supervisor took down the flag herself.

"The flag and the pole had been placed on the floor," McLucas said. But McLucas also said hospital higher-ups had told her some patients' families and visitors had also complained.

"I was told it wouldn't matter if it was only one person," she said. "It would have to come down."

McLucas said hospital bosses told her as far as patriotism was concerned, the flag flying outside the hospital building would have to suffice.

"I find it very frightening because if I can't display my flag," McLucas asked, "whatother freedoms will I lose before all is said and done?"

I'm just angry tonight in general and I think, as I try to compose myself, that we should fly that flag, it was memorial day! grrr. What an upsetting situation. I mean have you ever met veterans!?! <3! <3! <3! I would hang a big one on every door entrance like one of those bead divider thingys pass through it to get there. lol I mean I don't hate the lady for it, but that was very unacceptable. I am also upset at how our government officials explicitly Obama and ms. secretary of state are messing with Israeli territory! completely unacceptableeeee! And abortions, don't get me started. The state of things is just a bit frustrating!! I mean these are the reasons I vote republican because gezz brother what's going on with pregnant mothers and Israel, is just too ahhhh! sigh...

no to mention a many other things. uhh. I'm a Christian and I love God and there's a growing God hating in American and its very destructive and it just shows that it is true that Jesus was God in the flesh on earth, that He died for our sins, because Israel was prophesied to become a nation again and it happened post WWII. And the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem will happen, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. 8All these are the beginning of birth pains.
9"Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. 10At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, 11and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. 12Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13but he who stands firm to the end will be saved." Matt. 24 Love God and others as yourself. Everyone, remember always that situations may be frustrating, but we should handle them with as much love as possible. That our anger should always be righteous, for the benefit of others. Readers who aren't Christians, that is why Christians don't agree with Abortion and homosexuality because we believe it is destructive to people. That it is a lie to those who practice it, the lie: that it will be good for them or who they are. Look in the mirror God made you a certain way realize that your mental battles are just that battles; Your identity rests in the truth of what God has formed you into and purposed for you. God says do not murder, steal, covet, commit adultry, or fornicate because it leads to death, really, we all know it. He want to give you life and in abundance. The enemy comes only to steal, kill, and destroy, but God has come to give you life. You did not come from nothing, but were wrought by a loving God, who has drawn us all, because He loves with an eternal love and has shown us the way, the truth and the life through His one and only Son, Jesus Christ. "Do not be unbelieving, but believe."
