Patriots in the Heartland are furious after the University of Kansas raised a defaced American flag on campus. And it was intentional.
The flag, defaced with what looks like black paints and the incongruous image of a sock, is part of an art installation hosted by the Spencer Museum of Art called, “Pledges of Allegiance.”
One of my readers passed along photos of the red, white, blue and black flag flapping in the breeze. And like any right-thinking, red-blooded American patriot he was enraged.
“I’m ashamed to be a Jayhawk,” he told me. “Wake up, America.”
The defaced and desecrated flag is the work of Josephine Meckseper, according to Creative Time, a public arts organization.
“The flag is a collage of an American flag and one of my dripped paintings which resembles the contours of the United States,” Meckseper said in a post on Creative Time’s website. “I divided the shape of the country in two for the flag design to reflect a deeply polarized country in which a president has openly bragged about harassing women and is withdrawing from the Kyoto protocol and UN Human Rights Council.”
So she defaced Old Glory to take a cheap shot at President Trump? How avant-garde.
Speak for yourself, Ms. Meckseper.
A university spokesperson said the photo is of a display from the nationwide "Pledges of Allegiance" public arts project that went up July 5 and is at 13 locations nationwide.
The university said the exhibit is being funded by private donations.
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach tells me he is outraged by the exhibit.

This is ugly and disrespectful. I don’t by their reason for doing it either.
When will this madness end?
” What can I do?”
Be like Santa....Making a list, checking it twice, gonna find out who’s been naughty or nice.
The left is deliberately trying to provoke CWII. Do not those idiots realize that they would lose not only the war but their lives as well?
“.....We had our 8 years of hell...”
So we’re giving them 8 years of Heaven with them kicking and screaming all the way.
Throw her into a Muslim ghetto in Germany.
Speaking of the assault rap, back when there was a battle about whether there could be laws against burning the American flag (not that long ago; my how things changed quickly), my solution to keep things compatible with the First Amendment was simple. Allow the flag burning, and make the assaulting of anyone doing so punishable as an infraction with a $5 fine and no civil lawsuit allowed.
Yes, sir. That is a fair exchange. It’s not like we go into violence like these jackasses.
Nothing new....I was there in late 80s early 90s. I’d go to all the Democrat events because the girls were EASY. Commies all over the place even back when being called a commie was a black mark.
I would like to piss in her face and see how she would like it...….
Well said. I couldn’t agree more.
The Left are violent enemies of the US and want us dead. I don’t understand why many conservatives want to play by “the rules” and refuse to get vicious.
Will Conservatives EVER wake up??
Sure wished I had a time machine to send them all back to just after Pearl Harbor to see how they’d survive that!!
Whoever hoisted that should be executed.
UNITED STATES CODE, TITLE 36 CHAPTER 10, §176(g):
The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.

Would the “thin blue line” flag be similar in this situation?
Leftists are enemies of our nation.
It’s that simple.
I agree with you also.
And the Left (of course) thinks NOT having government funding for “the arts” is “unamerican”.

Yes.
What people in Lawrence, KS, won’t stoop to these days!
Get a concrete saw and cut the pole down.
