America's Soldiers Around The World

Is it okay to show your patriotism at the office?

For one Arlington woman, the answer was "no" after she hung an American flag in her office just before the Memorial Day weekend.

Debbie McLucas is one of four hospital supervisors at Kindred Hospital in Mansfield. Last week, she hung a three-by-five foot American flag in the office she shares with the other supervisors.

When McLucas came to work Friday, her boss told her another supervisor had found her flag offensive. "I was just totally speechless. I was like, 'You're kidding me,'" McLucas said.

The disagreement was over the size of the flag and not what it symbolized.

I don't buy that....at all!

"What is it with these frggin immigrants that they want to come here because it is better, and then want to turn it into where they came from?"

That's the problem. We assume they come here of their own volition "because it's better" etc. That's not true. Huge numbers are literally rounded up & flown in, hand-chosen by UN leftists.

McLucas said the supervisor who complained has been in the United States for 14 years and is formerly from Africa. McLucas said that supervisor took down the flag herself.

We should send all of the people who did not like our Flag and the people who agree with them back to where they came from.They got here on a HB1B Vista to keep Americans from getting a job. Work at Hospital that is taking no telling how much from Medicare, then throwing our FLAG on the floor.

They are a junk Hospital. I moved my Mother out, they treated her like dirt. All they want is the Gov money from Medicare.

Cutting off Gitmo was HUGE b/c Obama put a lot of his political capital into it......he was very visible on the issue. He never figured the Pubbies could pull it off.

The Dems think they own everything.....showing them they don’t is a good thing.

Everything in politics is perception-——the Pubbies need to STOP Obama in his tracks every now and then.

I called them and left a message for the supervisor in question to the effect that this country has no walls to keep people in who don’t want to be here, and if that he finds our flag offensive he should move to some country whose flag he likes.

>> Did anyone catch the part where the supervisor....after taking down our flag....left it on the floor!...lying on the floor?

I’m reminded of the Ayers’ photo where he’s standing on the Flag in an alleyway.

Somehow the playground mentality of “make me take it down” would be appropriate...

I think burning up the hospitals phonelines is appropriate too...

BS the african threw it on the floor. That is an offensive act, it’s inexcusable.

Don't tell me... he was from KENYA, right?

He did this in TEXAS? Sounds like a ticket to a real fast ass-whippin'.
