If I were a dying cancer patient I'd like to look at my family one last time and if I were able to I'd certainly like to see the American Flag flying free one last time. And then I'd pray that the American Flag fly free forever over a land I loved and that I was blessed to be born in. And I love America with all my heart and pray for her continued success for generations to come. "We the people...".

"...Liberal Political Correctness gone AMUCK!..." Anyone who feels this way about the flag should be hounded from their position, reduced for their lifetime to grinding poverty and never be allowed to feel safe from random acts of retribution by their less refined fellow citizens for the duration of their lives.
And this is what passes for being PC with me.
If I had my druthers this sort of disloyalty would earn these bastards a choice of exile or the gallows.

America is in poor taste. No excuse me, correct that. Its those University idiots who think our country's flag "offends" foreigners who are in poor taste! We should ship them out with the lot of the "Save Me From The Sight Of the American Flag" foreign students they're defending. Serves em right!!!

They were evidently told by university officials that they could not because the flag might "offend" foreign students on the campus.,,, so, university officials have a mandate to hold the ideals of foreign students benefiting from study in the US above the ideals of American citizens on their own soil? Go on, risk it! Fly "Old Glory" and test "might offend".

Trailing that flag will be a banner that reads "Offended? Go home!" My thoughts exactly!! This is OUR country, if they don't like our flag, national anthem, or other symbols of U.S. patriotism, let them get the hell out of here.

Who exactly takes the offence? Students from which country?

If the foriegn born at Emory U don't like the American flag then they can take a hike ....All the way back to Saudi or Bolivia or whatever 3rd world pesthole authored them. I am damn tired of seeing stupid Americans catering to these schmucks. To tell the truth this is more a crusade of the homos/liberals/sandalistas in the administration than anything foreign students really care about.

What we need is a national enema. We need to rid ourselves fo all these leftie lunatics in our universities, congress, media and government bureacracies. We need to purge our system and clean our pipes.
We need to start from scratch.

"They were evidently told by university officials that they could not because the flag might "offend" foreign students on the campus." This is absolute crap!!! I don't believe that anyone really cares about the possibility that a foreign student might be offended by the American flag flying above an AMERICAN university.
What about the foreign students who are proud to be here and might actually love to see our beautiful flag?!?
What about the American students who LOVE our country and our flag and all that they both stand for?!?
Don't we get a say in what flys over our public, tax supported universities?
I think it's time to bring back the proud and time tested public tradition of tar and feathering. What weak limp-wristed, bed-wetter could possibly come up with this gabage? Offended foreign students, un-freaking-believeable!!! University officials have the right to say whatever they please. They also should be prepared to feel the consequences of being an idiot!

Somewhere along the line some people have gotten the ridiculous idea that we have a right to not be offended.
Now I'm about as far from a constitutional scholar as you can get but I really doubt you can find anything in it that says you should never be offended.

There was a bumper sticker that quite a few people placed on their cars during the Vietnam War. It said:
America, Love it or Leave It
