| Sheriff Outraged After Judges Deny His Request To Hang American Flag Display In Courthouse |
| 2015-03-12 |
| One judge told WTKR said that he and the other judges don't want memorials of any kind put on display in the lobby. If one is allowed others will have to be allowed as well, the judge said. Watson is furious with the denial, especially since it is his deputies whose job it is to physically protect the courthouse as well as the jurists. Well, the judge has a point. In today's all-inclusive, everybody's a winner world, the courthouse would look like an homage to Fred Sanford within a week. |

| #3 The presumption is that if you display this country's flag, you must accommodate others. It is PC run amok. "PC" is most often associated with the Stalin era. It should be ignored wherever possible. |

| #2 This makes me nuts. The presumption is that if you display this country's flag, you must accommodate others. This is America, not the bullshit UN or Baluchistan or Mexico. Our national emblem is not oppressive, or intimidating, or even inappropriate in a public space. Deal with it or leave! Frankly, I prefer the latter since I have had about all the diversity I can stand. |

| #1 we don't protect foreign soil. I'd make it known that due to the lack of flag designating it as American soil, they refuse to protect the judges. Two can play stupid games. After all, the deputies are wearing a shoulder flag patch, no? Wouldn't want any terrorists or disgruntled criminals to feel oppressed |
