A controversy that involves a new flag for a firehouse in Chicago, patriotic stickers on lockers and even the First Amendment has erupted, and officials now are trying to calm down the situation by saying several firefighters who had been sent home may return to work.
The situation, according to a report in the Chicago Tribune, disturbed operations at the suburban Maywood fire department.
Its chief, Craig Bronaugh Jr., told the newspaper that four firefighters who had been removed from their duties and sent home actually may return.

Well we obviously can no longer operate as a society because someone might be offended.

Family is something that is fallen into disfavor today. It needs to be brought back forefront and center. And cherished.

DeleteThanks and I certainly agree.
I'd head to the hills, but I am surrounded by them,which direction? And got me some mountains too... I had a confederate Flag sticker on the back of my truck and when I got to Idaho I was stopped after a few days by a local cop. He said "I was concerned about that sticker and wanted to make sure you understood about the neonazis up north" I told them I had no connection to them and to mind his own business and if he wanted to make a Ist Amendment issue I told him I was froggy and lets start hopping. He backed off fairly quickly. He also said I wasn't obviously southern so why did I have it on, I told him son, " If I have to explain the Battle Flag to you, then you wouldn't understand." All this from a damn Yankee, me.

Deletey'all will have to forgive my southern redneck, right to work attitude but it's a hell of a upside down world when the union is supporting the Old Glory against a government
ReplyDeleteagent who doesn't want it in his presence. I suggest the chief take a trip to an Islamic country and demand they take down their flag so as not to offend his American sensitivities.
