Kindred Hospital and its corporate bosses in Kentucky got a lesson in patriotism Wednesday.
After a thorough roasting in the blogosphere, Kindred officials decided to let hospital supervisor Debbie McLucas put an American flag back on her office wall.
"We have invited the employee (McLucas) to put the flag back up," Kindred said in a brief press release.
McLucas did not return phone calls from The Dallas Morning News on Wednesday but she told her story on KRLD radio’s early-morning talk show. She said her husband spent 24 years in the U.S. Army. One son is an ex-Marine and a second son is an Army veteran. A daughter is a combat medic serving in Iraq.

How nice. She should never have been made to take it down. If I lived there, I would still choose to be taken to the next closest hospital.
This was one of the most despicable stories I read about so I’m glad to hear that this lady has been allowed to rehang her flag.
The supervisor who bent to this PC crap should be fired today!
Now that the flag is back up, it’s time to get the anti-American African co-worker deported.
The coworker, who emigrated from Africa 14 years ago, was apparently so bothered by the display that a complaint was filed with upper management...
McLucas said her supervisor removed the flag for her and placed it on the floor — an egregious breach of flag etiquette, aside from being an offensive gesture to most Americans.
And another thing, that African woman who was “offended” by the flag of the United States of America can take her sorry ass back to wherever she came from. We have men and women fighting for her right to be an American-hating jerk.

Maybe a Muslim ?
At the very LEAST, she should be FIRED!
“The supervisor who bent to this PC crap should be fired today!”
Us two caribou agree on that!
I wonder if she’s even a citizen.
“Maybe a Muslim ?”
Could be. Or just another flamin’ American-hatin liberal.
The damage has been done. The patriotic American has learned that the current society is not comfotable with what were in her mind constant guiding stars — flag, country and patriotism.
She now knows the complaining immigrants get first crack, she now knows that she can’t trust her heart and she now knows she is viewed as a problem person in he job even at her rank.
Elections have consequences. Hey, on another matter, have you heard that Great Educator, Ward Churchill, is making a comeback? Isn’t Hope and Change grand?
I wondered that as well, but the article doesn’t say. Only mentioned that she’s been here 14 years. Throw her back in the pond.
I think the most annoying part of this entire story is immigrants being allowed to come here through our generosity, take jobs that native-born Americans could perform just as well, and THEN TRY TO TELL US WHAT DO DO, and forbid us from doing something we’ve been doing for more than a century. IF OUR FLAG IS SO OFFENSIVE, go back to Africa.
I wonder if she’s even a citizen.

I’m thinking ‘green card’.
When I read that story I was absolutely outraged and all Americans should be. Glad they changed their tune. Who would believe this? Since they gave people the right to BURN our flag, you’d think displaying one would be a no-brainer.
“Now that the flag is back up, it’s time to get the anti-American African co-worker deported.”
Agree, but I’d rather see our anti-American, African President deported first.
I was outraged too. I called them long distance and left a voice mail that read them the riot act! I suspect I wasn’t alone.
Good for you. I supposed I could see how a huge American flag might not be appropriate in an office if it was disruptive but I don’t think that was the issue. I wonder who the “patients” and other alleged people were who supposedly made complaints!
I guess the management team completed four years of their asshology minor.
I also called and left a message I was so outraged. Itwas a long distant call.
Isn't one of the hallmarks of the American justice system since day one to be faced by an accuser [of a crime]?
We need a name.
We really need a name.
I have no need to persuade anyone to be patriotic, but I'll be damned if I'll let ignorant losers tell me how I should act.
Probably all welfare patients and welfare "employees."
I am sure there are plenty of hospitals in Africa that could this Ingrate, she needs fired.
This hospital is literally across the street from my neighborhood. It was a wonderful commute home this evening as I drove past the hospital and approximately 40 people were outside with flags and pro-america signs. I know my neighbors were in shock over this type of behavior in our city.
