Texas Woman Told to Remove ‘Offensive’ American Flag From Office

At first glance, I thought this was just another case of political correctness run amok, (read the story here) but the second read, and the third made me realize that this goes beyond the scope of the normal, run of the mill silliness and garbage we hear about in the press almost on a daily basis.  America in many ways has become a charicature of its former self.  When an employee, and a foreign one at that, and please don’t start on me about my “xenophobic paranoia”, who has the timerity to complain about the presence of an AMERICAN flag in AMERICA and effect the removal of it from an office, even temporarily, then we are heading, as a nation down a road where we lose our identity.  And although there are those who say, But this is an isolated incident”….and it well may be,  but the fact that this story barely measured on the Richter Scale by the press and caused little to no outrage together with the fact that it happened not in in Haigh-Ashbury in San Francisco nor in Vermont, but in TEXAS, a true bastion of patriotic, middle America…remember “Don’t Mess with Texas?” is indicative of our changing attitudes about First Amendment rights and patriotism in America.
