Sad Day

I knew that our country’s leaders have been teaching us to hate ourselves. But the story on Foxnews.com http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,522659,00.html shocked me more than I could ever believe.

A woman in Texas was told to remove the American flag in her office because it was offending people. What in the name of Mrs. Ross is wrong with this country when this happens? Oh, it gets much worse. She walked into the office and it was rolled up lying on the GROUND!

I know our leaders have been running around the world apologizing. They have told us and anyone that would listen that we are/were wrong on several items. Yet I never thought we would all buy it enough to drop to this level. We are so ashamed of our own faces that we can’t even honor the men and women that have died to protect this great country (sorry, I should say once great country).

The story does have a happy ending. The company was shamed into letting the woman replace the flag. She has indicated she will continue to fly it as long as she is employed with the company.

  1. It's been coming for a while. In california, there was a junior high school that flew the american flag BELOW the mexican flag. To make matters worse cnn reported that the american flag was flown upside down. Sometime in the next 20 years we will see a civil war. Us against them.

  2. You guys might want to calm down a bit. An isolated incident, and I would almost guarantee there is more to this story than what they have written. Blaming this on Obama is hilarious.

  3. Thank you for your feedback Mr. Teel. I do not feel that this is our President's fault, however I do feel he has led us in the direction to hate ourselves and this is an example of it.

  4. That's a leap in logic to me. A crazy immigrant complains about a flag, the president mends fences overseas, and your conclusion is that Obama is leading us to hate ourselves? Please.
