But my point is that our recent behavior has tarnished our reputation, badly. We need to fix that.

With Rumsfeld, Rove and Gonzalez now out, this is a step in the right direction. We yet need to make more major changes to get ourselves back to a tradition of honoring peace, human rights, the sanctity of life, and the rule of law.

Section 2.21.3 sets limits where is says “shall” be limited to …

If you scroll back up you can read what is specifically allowed, anything else isn’t. The code can be changed though.

A year ago I had a problem with a DMV inspector who refused to pass my motorcycle on two issues. One: he couldn’t see the side reflectors under the saddlebags. “We have to be able to see them,” he said. I pulled the bags off and said, “You can see them, now!” He agreed but said there was still another problem. “The brake light flashes, and that’s illegal.” I told him that it doesn’t flash, it modulates and is a legal safety device approved by state lawmakers. Still he refused to pass the motorcycle so I dismounted and told him that I wasn’t going to move it until I saw his supervisor. He called the supervisor over and told him it was not legal. I then told the supervisor they need to check with state lawmakers because it has been legal for several years. The supervisor waved his hand and said, “Just let it go.”

So the bike passed, but it was not a case of “just let it go.” It should have been: “It’s legal. Pass it!”

Sometimes you have to stand up for your rights. It’s a pity the bus driver/owner didn’t demand to see the supervisor and ask to see the written rule that made the flag illegal. They may be state workers but they are not always right, and sometimes you have to force them into a corner, provided you know your rights.

The Flag was being diplayed proudly and that is what bothers some people who have a problem with this country. When did it become chic to hate America? Being able to speak our mind is one of our , if not our greatest freedoms. But that freedom does not only apply to the freedom to criticize this great country but also the freedom to say how proud of it you are.

Nancy as for your vailed accusations of racism when going to other countries. There is a difference between wearing something with the colors of a flag, I have many items with the colors , red ,white ,and blue yet they don’t resemble a U.S. flag. How would you feel if I sold a line of underwear with a picture of your grandmother on them?

When are we going to stop “losing” our unity? Is this NOT THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA? And is that not our flag?

What, we have to have a flag of all Nations on the rear of School busses now to be politically correct?

This is an outrage!! All public vehicles should display the flag of our United States… until they change our constitution, and name us otherwise, then displaying our flag should always be an honor, and not treated as a disgrace!

The problem with most bureaucrats is that independent thought or the possibility of exercising common sense is a concept fraught with danger.

After you spend years doing little, something like this become perfectly logical to the average bureaucrat. The reasoning power of the brain has been surrendered to the bizarre and the common man is now viewed as a curiosity for a lack of understanding.

These bureaucrats are more injurious to our way of life than, dare I say, Undocumented Foreign Nationals.
