This will lead many Americans to ask: "What is the world coming to?"
An Arlington woman has now been invited to rehang her U.S. flag after first being told to remove it following a coworker's complaint.
Debbie McLucas, a hospital supervisor at Kindred Hospital in Mansfield, hung a 3x5-foot U.S. flag in the office she shares with three other supervisors just before Memorial Day.
The timely display of U.S. patriotism was not welcomed by one of McLucas' office mates and she was told it had to come down, CBS 11 reported.
The coworker, who emigrated from Africa 14 years ago, was apparently so bothered by the display that a complaint was filed with upper management. When McLucas, whose daughter is serving in Iraq as a combat medic, was told of the "infraction," she was stunned.
I read that article today and honestly... why are these people here?
If they don't like our flag, they can easily go back where they came from.
More and more I am noticing that immigrants who come here want all the benefits of living in our society without the need to feel any allegiance to the nation that gives them the opportunity they have here that they didn't have at home.
The United States is a nation founded by immigrants, not a nation MADE OF IMMIGRANTS!

Just get rid of the parasites please. If they despise the AMERICAN flag to the extent that they want to prevent others from displaying it, they shouldn't be in AMERICA. Is that really too difficult of a concept to fathom?

The simple, and not PC, answer is they are here for the freebies and what they can take from our country and nothing more.
"Louisville, KY (May 28, 2009) – Kindred Healthcare, Inc. (the "Company") (NYSE: KND) issued this statement today regarding an incident involving an American flag at Kindred Hopital Mansfield:
We are offended one of our employees took down a colleague's American flag in our Mansfield, TX hospital. It was wrong and as soon as we learned about it we took immediate action to correct the situation. At no time did anyone at Kindred Healthcare instruct anyone to take down the American flag. This was an unauthorized act of an individual employee. The flag is now proudly displayed once again, and we apologize to all who were equally offended by this unpatriotic action, including the owner of the flag. We have reprimanded the employee and let them know we don't tolerate behavior inconsistent with our Company's values.
