University of California, Irvine, bans the American Flag in an effort to make the campus more “culturally inclusive”. Now the executive cabinet of the Associated Students has overturned that ban. However, now it goes back to the Legislative Council and with a 2/3rds vote, Old Glory comes down. The original vote was 6-4, you do the math.
I really think these Shitbag kids need to read USC Title 4, depending on how the UC Charter reads they are coming very close to breaking the law. I have no idea what California law states but I have researched KY's. Our laws follow the USC on that one. One might say WTF Dave, the law is the law and Federal Law supersedes State Law. Yea you'd think but pot is illegal according to the Federal Government.
1) I'm all about State's Rights and Freedom of Speech. But I do think it's time for a Constitutional Amendment to protect our Flag. I know similar issues have gone before the Supreme Court in the past and have been shot down due to the First Amendment. But, that's why we have the system of checks and balances. We can overturn the Supreme Court by passing a Constitution Amendment. We need to protect our Flag and ensure that it is properly displayed. The United States Code isn't doing the job. Trust me, I know. I can't even get the city that I live in (Lebanon Junction, KY) to light the Flag at night, "It cost too much".
2) These students should loose all Financial Aid. I mean all, no Pell Grants, no Federal backed loans, no State Aid. Further more, California should loose all Federal funding slated for education. Some of you may think that's excessive but it's been done in the past. How do you think we got 55mph speed limits?
3) This PC inclusive BULLSHIT has to go! So we remove all flags. Do we remove all plaques, paintings, statues, monuments because someone might get offended? What about clothing? Does that mean one can't wear the Puerto Rican Flag on a T-shirt? What about the guy that walks around in African colors? What about wearing a crucifix, mUSLIM dress, Jewish headgear? Are we all going to walk around in white T's? No we can't do that because we might offend Blacks. So, do we just pick blue T's and take our chances of getting shot by the bloods?
4) We need to get involved. Below is a link to find your Senator and Congressman. Write, e-mail, call him/her and tell them your thoughts and that you and your family vote.

Bottom Line: This shit has to stop. If you don't like my Flag, you can Kiss My American Made ASS!!! What's next California, open season on Bald Eagles???
