America is Bad

ASUCI president offers statement on flag ban bill
Six undergraduate members of the ASUCI Legislative Council passed a bill that bans hanging a flag from any nation in the common lobby area of the student government offices.
This legislation is not endorsed or supported in any way by the campus leadership.
The Executive Cabinet of the student government will meet Saturday to discuss a veto. A motion to veto and a second are on the table. One more vote is needed for a veto.
ASUCI president Reza Zomorrodian has gone on record opposing the legislation.
Here is his message to students:
Please forward your concerns to these emails: president@asuci.uci.edu andcouncilspeaker@asuci.uci.edu
The ASUCI Legislative Council recently passed a piece of legislation regarding the display of the American flag and its prohibition of display in ASUCI common space. I stand firmly against this piece of legislation, though I understand the authors intent and supporters intent, I disagree with the solution the council has come to. I speak for myself about my feelings on this piece of legislation. However, as chair of the Executive Cabinet, we will be having a conversation about this piece of legislation and deciding what course of action the cabinet will take collectively. If you have any questions regarding the legislation and your elected office’s stance, please contact the respective executive or council member. Please forward your concerns to these emails:president@asuci.uci.edu and councilspeaker@asuci.uci.edu Reference for the legislation can be found here:

Thank you,
Reza Zomorrodian
ASUCI President

The tenured professors that like to armchair quarterback from ivory towers. Compensation for the inability to deal with the truth of unpleasant realities, or get off their asses to effect real changes due to lack of personal courage and fortitude. It's like Bin Laden getting everyone else to blow themselves up while he hides behind his wives.

It's the same lame political deconstructionism being regurgitated over and over again for decades. Somehow nations and borders are fascist tools of social control, but forcing Kwanzaa (a non existent tradition) into the calendar and naming every other street in LA Cesar Chavez is 'enlightened'. The kids aren't coming up with this stuff independently on their own over all these generations.

Then again, the fact that illegal aliens get free taxpayer subsidized in-state UC tuition when other legal citizens of the United States are restricted from receiving the same might promulgate the idea that flags and nations are evil.

Has someone suggested and made a new flag stating "This Is My United States of Whatever!" by Liam Lynch. Go random and mock the politically correct until their wit is at their wits end.



I would make a flag stating: "I fart in you general direction!" Maybe a bit British but still good for a laugh...

The same people who promote BDS petitions against Israel. Basically, people who forgot that we're the Good Guys.
Like . . . the president?

The president is merely the salesman who is the face of his puppet masters. Without Wall Street and a few other stakeholders Obama would be another senator of the U.S. The Netherlands are not much different, our "democratic systems of government" sometimes have stakeholders with too much influence.

Don't worry, the US flags will simply be replaced by the Gadsden flag by the true believers  :)p17

Waste of time either way, like almost all other student 'governance'.

My god that is the dumbest fucking thing.

It doesn't count unless they also file their sovereign citizen declarations and stop paying taxes.

Really?  Political leaders are influenced by big money and corporate money?? I'm shocked. But if you get on Obama's ass, then get on all their asses too. Just a request, not a political comment.
I have no comment on the flag issue. Too many other things on my mind. Like mass extinctions and other stuff.
