Some stories have happy endings. The Czar is aware of a growing social meme that the Conservative backlash is beginning, way beyond Tea Parties. POTUS Obama is being called on the carpet almost weekly now. Pelosi is losing popular support. Global warming solutions are being recognized as crackpot science. Post-Heller, the Second Amendment is being accepted. Rumors (more than one!) persist that Adam Lambert’s non-conservative behaviors were punished by Idol voters and sponsors. Heck, even Perez Hilton took one on the chin (children, focus please).

True? Or false? Yeah, there is considerable reason for conservatives to be worried still. But evidence is mainstreaming that the liberal side should be just as concerned that a neo-Reagan revolution is gathering serious force.

Here is more proof. A hospital staff supervisor hangs a 3′ x 5′ flag in her office for Memorial Day (the same size you hang on your house). A co-worker (portrayed as an immigrant, but actually an American citizen) finds the American flag offensive, and her manager requires her to remove it at once. But someone does not wait, for she comes into her office to find the flag pulled down and thrown to the floor. She complains to senior management…

…who tells her to put the flag back up. Why? Because the hospital does not hate America, but instead embraces the service of our veterans and active military. A press release was issued clearly calling out that Kindred Healthcare, of Mansfield, Texas, backed the flag display 100%. Oh sure, there was some mealy language in there about the actual dispute being over the size of the flag—but goes on to say that the supervisor was told to re-hang the same flag, and invites employees to do the same. The Czar spells out the hospital name and location to make it very clear who the good guys are and where they are in this story.

Nice work, senior management! Oh, one more thing: click on the picture to buy your own 3′ x 5′ American stars and stripes for your office.

The Czar of Muscovy

Божію Поспѣшествующею Милостію Мы, Дима Грозный Императоръ и Самодержецъ Всероссiйскiй, цѣсарь Московскiй. The Czar was born in the steppes of Russia in 1267, and was cheated out of total control of all Russia upon the death of Boris Mikhailovich, who replaced Alexander Yaroslav Nevsky in 1263. However, in 1283, our Czar was passed over due to a clerical error and the rule of all Russia went to his second cousin Daniil (Даниил Александрович), whom Czar still resents. As a half-hearted apology, the Czar was awarded control over Muscovy, inconveniently located 5,000 miles away just outside Chicago. He now spends his time seething about this and writing about other stuff that bothers him.
