This is the equivalent of flying the Nazi swastika flag. Why is this even allowed?

I don't have an issue with them expressing their opinions freely. I also don't have an issue with any of their citizenry beating the everliving crap out of them for expressing such opinions.

Flying it on a public building is the issue

Their senator Sheldon Whitehouse is somehow worse than Bernie Sanders. I'm unsurprised a city there that has voted to re-elect him repeatedly, would do such a thing.

Stupidity like that just confirms my own belief that there is far more at work in this world than what we can perceive.

Even a simple 30 minute dive into the history of Israel & Palestine would lead a reasonable person to the belief that Islam or at least the concept of "Palestine" should probably be eradicated, due to egregious human rights violations & a doctrine of murder against all things "infadel" which is inherent within the queeran/koran.

Yeah. These are the same people who pressured the Southern states to stop flying the Confederate flag, but somehow it's OK to fly the flag of a racist sore-loser "country" if they're Arabs.

Only if one lives in Providence, RI.

The whole Massachusetts / Rhode Island area is home to the biggest white guilt demographic in the country. Patriots my ass.

Yep. Christians are regularly told they can't have Nativity scenes at the county courthouse.

once Providence started flying flags from various countries at the request of people in the community, it put itself in the position of not being able to discriminate against certain speech.

Useless post is useless. If you have something to say then say it. This post says nothing.

True, but not really relevant as providence does not have a "counties only" policy.


The city council supports Palestine. That's why it's being done. It's allowed because they can't discriminate against speech

It won't be a shock if that building catches on fire soon if that Flag stays up.

You seem to be confused on which group fire bombs buildings over flags.

Don't forget when The Twin Towers were falling and 3K Americans were murdered they were dancing in the street celebrating and passing out candy to the kids !!

It would be nice if the leaders that allow this stuff and the leaders of the trashy groups being represented (those not like us, that will never assimilate and want to bring their subhuman culture to our country) were to disappear. Only take a few here and there and behavior would likely change.

If you look atthe pic multiple women in it look like butch lesbians. Gee, I wonder how that look would go over in the Gaza Strip ? Each lib in the picture is 58% idiot and 63% mentally ill. Each one needs help ASAP.

Will be interesting if they maintain that stance when other groups petition tongue their flag up the pole. They going to let a confederate flag? What about one with historical importat but modern consternation like the gadsden flag?

Govt should fly one of 5 flags- national flag, state flag, county flag (if applicable), city flag(if applicable), pow/mia flag. I dont think it's a violation of free speech to deny ball flags but those listed govt specific ones.

Correct. Confederates of the 1800s and their ancestors of today do not want to commit genocide.

If Palestinian didn't want to be compared with the Nazis, then their Grand Mufti shouldn't have met with the literal Adolf Hitler to plan a "final solution to the Jewish problem" in the British Mandate.

BTW, don't forget that 14 million Germans were kicked out of their homes after WW2. That's almost 20 "Nakbas".

Libs will tell you that the Mufti was meeting with Hitler, only to get a really great recipe for making schnapps!!!

Because the left do whatever they want without consequence because no one has the courage to stand up to the scourge.

It's not the same as a nazi flag at all. But you're also right it shouldn't be flown. No forgiven flag should ever been flown in or on our public buildings. Ever.

No doubt the folks in Providence voted for this.

Yes they did. Elected the City Council President Rachel Miller. A real bleeding heart gem trained in her liberal ways by the Jesuits. Liberal Arts degrees do wonders they say. The AAS waxed poetically about her. I'm certain she likes chalk.

In the mid-1990s, she left to study at the College of the Holy Cross a Jesuit liberal arts college in Worcester, Massachusetts. Being a LGBTQ+ student on the Catholic campus had its difficulties, and after witnessing a few incidents of intolerance, Miller and other students from that community banded together to form the college's first LGBTQ+ student organization. As young people who grew up witnessing the AIDS epidemic, advocating for LGBTQ+ rights had a different backdrop for them than for many activists who came later, she said.

In addition to being a hiker, a cellist and a former punk-rocker, Miller is also a socialist. Nearly a decade ago, she helped found a state chapter of the Working Families Party, which has made a name for itself by endorsing and furthering leftist candidates and legislation in the General Assembly.

Only known one person from RI and she was a walking stereotype of a fat, white, fugly liberal woman. Our first interaction was her being assigned to me as my resident for the day. Her introduction was walking into the ready room the day after GWB was reelected and loudly proclaiming to no one in particular, "I can't believe that so many of my fellow Americans are so STUPID! How could anybody ever vote for that guy? MORONS!" etc. She finally ended her little rant and noticed me standing off to the side expectantly. She asked who I was and I replied, "I'm Dr. Xxxxxx and I'm one of the idiots who voted for Bush yesterday. I'm also your attending for the day so let's review your case management plans in detail."

Let's just say that she received some extra effort and high quality training for the day on what was normally a kind of low key assignment.

Those teeth! She has to have some serious British ancestry

That crowd looked pretty much exactly what I figured JT would look like.

TBH, I was thrown off by the black guy.
