University protests...

Generally, as a rule, I am against protesters. But in this case, I found myself rooting for them.

At The University of Southern Indiana a man dressed in all black with a blue helmet spray pained blue with the soviet union's symbol and flying the United Nations flag stood outside the university.

He refused to identify himself or to leave so while he stood there 80+ students assembled themselves by the man and sang the national anthem and Amazing grace.

The leader of the protest, Larry Young, spoke and said this; Friends, countrymen, Americans, I'm going to be a little politically incorrect today." He said he was, "He said he was "tired of the liberal jargon that makes me ashamed to be American" and he was "sick of the legions of illegal aliens crossing our borders and bleeding our social programs dry."

The group of protesters were joined by the VFW and other Veteran groups demanding that the UN flag be removed from campus by the University Administrator.

Young continued with the encouragement of the crowd to demand the UN flag be removed and replaced with an Evansville flag.

"It's not the UN that welcomes the 52 international students -- it's Evansville.

"Put an Evansville flag up," Young said.

"The UN coalition of mostly dysfunctional countries are atheistic, socialistic parasites whose goal is domination," said Young.

"This malignancy is flying in our parks, our schools," Young said.
"Bowen, in 1979 put up the UN flag and the people of Indianapolis made him take it down. We should do the same."

"They will not crucify us on a cross of complacency, Mr. Hoops. "TAKE DOWN THIS FLAG." was the ending phrase of his speech.

Young was followed by several other speakers including; Sean Selby, the president of the University of Southern Indiana's republicans who said the recent events in Somalia took place because of the UN.

Benny Benjamin, a veteran, spoke next saying this flag does not represent America.

Mike Burkhart, commander of the Indiana Purple Heart Association then spoke and said; " It'sjust the first raindrop in one of the most horrendous storms," Burkhart said. "It's not a political issue anymore. That flag is a slap in the face to every veteran here."

I think this protest had reason to take place and I commend all involved. The UN does nothing productive, go against many of the values America's have, And are in general Anti-American.
