man that's F'd up

with all the blood sweat and tears shed for this country and they give him flack about a sticker of the flag that represents this country. there is a line drawn and i think the chief is going to find out where it is and what side he's on.

Get ready to hear even more press about this... I know all the guys that work there its a f'ed up situation I volunteer for a company located right next to the city.

 

[datant69]

good about the press

maybe they'll STFU about the ballon kid and his dumb parents who wanted their 15 mins of fame. hope that 15 mins is the most expensive lesson they are ever taught.

hell yea

they already took prayer out of school, which who ever your god is or isn't. you don't have to say anything other then keep your mouth shut. hell pray to the east and touch your head to the floor 5 times a day for all i care. allah and my god are probably the same one. but there has been way too much blood, tears, and sweat ran for our flag to take a back seat. don't like it then move to another country, i don't think canada minds having you if you have an issue with our flag.

From the above article...

A department policy prohibited firefighters from posting personal items on lockers after a recent poster was found to be offensive.

I'm glad he won.

BIG difference between the American flag and an offensive poster...common sense obviously did not prevail here. IIRC from a previous article the poster that was found was racially offensive.

The department policy needs to be rewritten to say that any racially or sexually offensive items cannot be posted on lockers or whatever...just like the way most companies write their policies.

Exactly... the admin's simply wrote the policy totally wrong.. then they went on a "power fest" when someone wouldnt totally adhear to the policy. thankfully they where willing to talk to the union peacefully

Our country is so upside down and backwards anymore it makes me sick. As a country, we've become too worried about politically-correctiveness (whatever that means anyway) to the point that freedoms we've had 10 years ago that we didn't even think about we no longer have. We're at the point where we are basically condeming ourselves. Tragic.
