You mean the Union flag.
Isn't "gooks" a slur against Vietnamese people, anyway?
I love your sites, but FUCK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS HEADLINE. Change it, assholes.
First, props for covering how stupid this issue is.
#Perspective!
Off-duty officers in uniform were recently used in my neck of the woods after an oil spill. Sketchy sketchy sketchy sketchy.
What about the non-drunkard who does not want to live in a police state?
What if I want to be left alone as I drive to work and home?
If you want to catch drunks, do that. Pull them over when they cross the center line, respond to reports to 911, don't hassle me on my way to work.

Thanks for this Patrick! I wish more writers would write much more about our quickly eroding civil liberties. Any road block is unconstitutional and I don't care what state, federal, or case law says. I don't need guys and girls in robes interpreting the 4th for me and neither should you.

The bomb you see blowing up over it is a White Phosphorus Bomb. When fragments from that bomb hit human skin, they burn you to the bone.
It's outlawed by the Geneva Convention.

Yeah well the folks at fighthatred.com (whose charges against Walker quote from the always-hysterically-overreacting ADL) also write that Noam Chomsky is an anti-semite.
...prepare to feel worse, then.
I can't find Alice Walker comparing Israelis to Nazis, but I do know that she's very pro-Palestinian. Frankly, she's exactly right in that, and it's also true that cultures who've undergone ethnic cleansing frequently take on the worst qualities of their persecutors. Ask an Armenian about the genocide; then ask and…
Alice Walker, the author, poet and activist most famous for her 1983 novel The Color Purple, was uninvited from the University of Michigan's 50th Anniversary for the Center for Education of Women because she's so anti-Israel that she compares the country to Nazi Germany.
