OK, they're trying to get rid of the US flag, because they say it represents oppression? Don't laugh, that's how many complainers successfully got the states rights flag removed from public buildings. We're still going through that arguement here in South Carolina.z

Thats not the worst of it. That damn liberal paradise of Berkeley,CA has ordered ALL of the American flags off of Every fire truck because it might incite the damn anti-war protesters.

This just baffles me...
I've never heard of something so absurd. How can a citizen of this nation be 'offended' by a symbol of their land??? Even if these people are not natural born Americans (or even citizens of this country for that matter), how can they be offended by the the flag of the nation that they are currently living in? Now I might expect this sort of drivel from some young rebellious youths, or the "all-knowing," opinionated college types, but from a firefighter??? Especially after loosing almost 400 brothers in the recent events! I honestly think these people should be deported to a nation whose flag is less "offensive." At the very least, I hope they are shunned by their co-workers, and learn a quick lesson. Afterall, who wants to work in such a dangerous profession if they are unsure of the support of their 'brothers'? |

I would also agree that they need to find a new place to live..and to work....I don't normally get offensive...but F@CK THEM!
I take this personally as an insult...I think everyone who has ever had to fight or will have to fight to keep out flag a symbol of freedom will feel the same way.... medcop |

This is FU@KING RIDICULOUS!...As a Florida firefighter, I am OFFENDED by the very existence of these two assholes.
I know this would not fly at the Department I work for, these two would receive the cold shoulder from all of their co workers,...and hopefully they will. If you are so easily offended, you are not cut out to be a firefighter! I wonder if these guys are the whacko "Farrakhan" style Muslims. (edited to add "I dont know if I spelled Farrakhan correctly,...but then again....who cares how the hell it's spelled?) |

Quoted: This is really starting to irritate me [:(!] Same here. Heard a guy call into a radio talk show yesterday saying that his employer, AT&T made him take his flag down also because it was offensive. This is really getting out of hand and starting to piss me off. Those two firefighters have just ostricized themselves from their fellow firefighters. Not a smart thing to do, considering your life depends on them in a fire. I'm not saying anyone would let them die, but causing that kind of friction can really screw up unit cohesion. The last thing I'd want would be to rush into a burning building knowing that the guy behind me is really pissed off at me and thinks I'm an a$$ho1e. ...and to all these companies and colleges forbiding the flying of the flag because it's offensive, I ask offensive to who? Bin Laden? Saddam? Castro? Hell, even the Ruskie's were waving the American flag and singing our anthem! Jerks! Every last one of them. AT&T = Afghanistan's, Taliban & Terrorist |

"We have to avoid giving a false impression that we lean one way or the other," said the news director.

The Swiss are a very proud nation who treasure their independence much more than most lazy-ass, TV-fed Americans do with our own country's. And of course, if anybody wanted to fly the US flag in Switzerland right now, I imagine they'd have no problem with that... -but banning it? I dount even the Swiss would go for that one. |

Being a native Floridian, I don't consider Miami part of the state anyway. Its more like Cuba North. I agree that these two bozo's need to find a new job, maybe as bed pan changers at a local nursing home, they would feel right at home with all the other filth they would be working with. [soapbox]
I also heard on the radio today that the anti-war movement is recruiting the jerks who protest at the WTO meetings and started the riots in Seattle last year. Plus the likes of MAdonna , Bill Maher, and one of the Back Street Boys are jumping on the anti-war band wagon. [puke] |

Deport these fools, or put them in the army, and make them work in graves registration. I beg to differ. It makes a Hell of a lot of difference what color they are. A lot of people right now are saying 'if you are not part of the solution you are part of the problem'. Right now is a time for unity. Not a time of descent or a time to promote ones own agenda. If they are, as I suspect, trying to use this as a platform to promote an agenda that the "white man" is holding them down and the flag is a symbol of that oppression they are no different than a hate group such as the skin heads using this as an opportunity to promote hate and violence against those of Arab descent. What they are doing is racism, pure and simple. Contrary to the "warm and fuzzy, let's all hug" liberal mind set propaganted by the media racism is a two way street and people other than whites can commit it. I'm still taking all bets on the [i]color[/i] these racist creating hate during a time we need unity. |

Fact: All of us and all of their brother (and now sister) firefighters depend on their total committment to put their own lives at risk to save our lives and property. Since, by their actions, they care less about our American lives and property than they do about some half-assed, cockamamy, whacked out socio-political-religious agenda...and since they have now just ostracized themselves from the rest of the firehouse crews in the city, they have to go. If I were the mayor, the fire chief, or the city council, they are gone NOW. I wouldn't wait until Monday to see if they give in and ride the trucks with the flags on them. If I were a firefighter, I would be afaid for my safety if these two were my backup. FIRE THE BASTARDS NOW! The people of Opa Laca and all the rest of us deserve better.

2. They cant be fired- at best they will go on 6 months paid leave while the bigwigs try to handle it in the most PC way possible. after that they will get back pay/raises/ and promoted. Sorry to sound so cranky but its true... |

I am a Volunteer Firefighter in South Carolina (read this as I don't get paid to risk my life as these buttheads do) and we are flying the red, white and blue from our apparatus as well as from the back of my personal truck. The IAFC (international association of fire chiefs) has ask that all departments permanently attach a flag to every piece of apparatus. These guys need to find a country who's flag doesn't offend them and go there we don't need them. I read a reply about Hollywood in general, I would like to point out that Jim Carrey and Rosie O'Donnell have donated a million dollars each to the disaster relief fund and ask that other actors follow suit.

Al Gore has come out in support of the Firefighters. He said we cant rush to judgment becuase we are not even sure it was an American flag. He is sending a team to Florida to count each and every Star & Stripe on the alleged US flag. Multiple recounts are expected.
In 30 to 60 days we should know if this was really an American flag. |

He was the man without a country. These people do not deserve to live in our country and should be removed by force if neccessary |

I believe a voyage or a flight is too good for them. Let them swim back. It is a shame that so many cubans are willing to lose their lives trying to get here in just about anything that will float. And then these dummies don't appreciate anything they have here. Let them swim for it.
