All rights, no responsibilities. For shame.

My cousin lives in Portland and he’s so sick of the liberalism up there, he’s ready to move.

Not surprising from the hate-America communists up there.

Most people were walking around them and not stepping on them. The short-haired woman teacher was such a simpering sweetie.

Lib central up there. A big part of my family lives there. Maine never really recovered from the late 1960s / 1970s when a huge wave of moonbats decided to ‘ get back to the land ‘.
I also recently heard that 40 % of the state is on some type of assistance.

I wonder what would be said/happen if it was pages of the Quran being desecrated like this.

I’m guessing the “artist” would be arrested for violating speech codes against “hate”....

Interesting and somewhat encouraging that a majority of the students shown on the video tried to walk around the flags. Shows that they have more integrity than the university administration itself.

What's so mind numbingly amazing is that they are so incredibly proud and self-righteous in their liberalism and disrespect of our country. It really sickens me and makes me want to cry to see this happen over and over. To see one lone veteran standing up to these "intellectuals"....

In slight defense of the UMF students though, I did notice that most of them at least refused to step on our flag.

Can someone punch the artist in the nose and call it art?

I did notice that almost everyone walking through the building went AROUND the flags.

There was the one young man in what appeared to be a denim dress who was standing on one of them, but I only noticed one other person who intentionally walked across a flag inseatd of around it.

yes, but the good people that try to prevent it would be arrested for infringing on his rights.

At least the blood splatter could be called “modern” art. I think we have a case there. This crap wouldn’t happen at UAF. (University of Alaska Fairbanks)

[My cousin lives in Portland and he’s so sick of the liberalism up there, he’s ready to move.]

We spend about 5-6 months per year traveling in our RV. (7.3MPG but who’s counting). We will never go back to CA, OR, and WA.

I’m afraid the “art” student will have grounds to sue the University in a few years. He is studying to become an artist, I think when he realizes the only job for which he is qualified is dishwasher, he will realize he’s been cheated.

I was speaking of Portland, ME but those areas are to be equally avoided, you are correct.
