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.
Im 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 Times 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.

I’d take the felony assault rap. Doxx whoever did it or made the decision.
Disgraceful.
Im an alum. I live within 10 miles of this. What can I do?
She thinks we weren’t divided under Obama?
What an ignorant slut Jane.
The American Education-Industrial complex is an ideologically uniform, statist, and absolutely massive entity - living off huge spending and massive government and personal debt.
It can’t last. Its as bad as the housing bubble and fraud of 2007.
When it pops, the main beneficiaries, progressive ideologues with no other useful skills, will be forced into the real world, like rats from a sinking ship
Politically smart and daring conservatives should help pop that bubble.
Illegal.
Give her the Piss Che Award of the Year.

And you soft limp-wristed Freepers always think we could co-exist with liberal pukes. Said it a hundred times and counting, we cannot live alongside these assholes, one of us has to “go”..
Lawrence?
The flag should be taken down and burned in keeping with flag etiquette.
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.
But the University receives TAX funding. The Legislature needs to Strip 10%, 25%, 50% whatever from their budget. Tolerate this.
Alumni can withhold donations.
I looked the dirty c*** up on wiki ... she’s a Kraut. Still has German nationality. Deport her sorry carcass back to the Fatherland.
BTW, my joke not withstanding, she is from Germany. How very NWO to try and tear apart America. How very .... Obama.

“Josephine Meckseper is a German-born artist based in New York City. Her large-scale installations and films have been exhibited in various international biennials and museum shows worldwide.”
“Josephine Meckseper grew up in Worpswede, Germany, a utopian artist colony founded at the beginning of the 20th century.”
“Mecksepers time at CalArts coincided with the Gulf War and the Rodney King riots; During this politically-charged period her work reflected upon the actions of the Situationist International and the Angry Brigade.[4]”
I agree. And I agree we should stay divided because I hate liberals. We had our 8 years of hell, now its THEIR turn to suffer so F em’
