Hello,

From time to time, I get emails with wild political commentary. I seem to have wound up on email lists for both left and right extremes.

Anyone know what this is about?

They're pissed, as usual, over the concept that freedom is an EVERYONE, or NO ONE, kind of deal.

They want it mandatory/legal to fly the stars and stripes, but anything else outlawed, same way they always want their own opinions codified into law and shoved on everyone else.

Basically the school said either allow all, or ban all - and they're tossing the usual anti-fair-play hissy, is all.

I note for the record that flying the Red Flag, or the Black Banner, has suffered many an effort to outlaw it here, and despite it being patently unconstitutional, many places still have laws on the books against it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stromberg_v._California
"Any person who displays a red flag, banner or badge or any flag, badge, banner, or device of any color or form whatever in any public place or in any meeting place or public assembly, or from or on any house, building or window as a sign, symbol or emblem of opposition to organized government or as an invitation or stimulus to anarchistic action or as an aid to propaganda that is of a seditious character is guilty of a felony."

We had a recent issue over this with a returning Iraq vet being arrested in Oklahoma for flying a Gadsden over his home - Gus had some of his military buddies awaiting deployment march back and forth in front of the local lockup with a black banner, daring them to do anything about it, and the sherriff dropped the charges and chucked the poor sodder out the door about an hour later.

Anyhow, like always they want the ONLY flag in the air to be their own, their rights first and foremost, and damn everyone elses.

Allow all or ban all? Rad! Let's fly the Confederate flag. And Nazi flag, too! Otherwise, we're not being consistent.

EDIT: you know what burns my ass? Aside from an ass-high flame, its the way a certain political party has appropriated the flag, as if it is their exclusive domain, and as if they are the only patriots. I feel you, Frem, on the issues of those who demand respect, yet withhold it.

Or at least "American Soviets"?
