American or UnAmerican

How should an American show their patriotism? Scholars and our forefathers have stated what it means to them over the years. A few others have tried to "redefine it" to fit their political compass to further a personal agenda or some other cause where they have found a supportive ear or group. Somehow in the last few years many of us who are proud of our country and what it means to be an American are being told we can't display our flags or stand up and be proud of what our country has done in the past and what it continues to do today. Are we perfect? No! However, tell me where else can someone have the opportunity to start out from an insignificant child and grow into the most powerful in our industry or country. Look at our current President or the Bill Gates of the world for examples. Anyone who wishes to be more than they are only has to begin the journey one step at a time. Will they always make it, no! Will they fail multiple times, yes! In the end is it possible they will not make it to the top or be the best in whatever they choose to pursue, sure! Not everyone has what it takes (Drive, ambition, timing, and of course luck etc.) to make it all the way. However, we can be happy just being who we are, and learn to live within our means. It takes a community of many to have all the things in life we enjoy as an American. So what does this have to do with being an American and a story about a Texas woman who's U.S. Flag was taken down because of one co-worker complaint. Why is it okay to let one person or a small group of people trample over the rights of the many when they are showing their American pride or spirit? I'm very concerned when a few are able to influence management’s decisions because of political correctness. This my fiends is Un-American. When will we who are Americans stand up for what is right. Are we so scared of the courts and the liberal media that taking a stand is the last thing we would do? I hope not. This is one reason I started this blog. I've had enough! So let's all try to be a little more American and correct the political incorrectness that is so pervasive today! Of course in all things “Be Nice!”
