Fremont Tribune ^ | 7/15/2015 | Catherine Huddle/Lincoln Journal Star

Three days after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that people of the same sex may marry one another, a flag went up outside the Alley bar at 1031 M St.

It looked like an American flag, but it was the colors of the rainbow.

And that made James "Tony" Cascio see red.

"I found it highly insulting to deface our country's flag," said the 54-year-old Lincoln man who was working at a nearby construction site.

"The fact that it's a gay bar has nothing to do with it," Cascio said Monday. "I went over and expressed my unhappiness. I even told them they have the right to be gay.

"The American flag is red, white and blue. It is not pink, purple, orange and yellow."

Cascio visited the bar on a Tuesday, the day after the flag went up. When he showed up the following Monday to operate the elevator where Beal Derkenne Construction is building Latitude Living Spaces, a student housing project at 10th and N streets, he was called in and fired...

Just another example of the pernicious reach and scope of the Corporatist-Fascist oligarchy running this country.

A dude in Nebraska who pretty much expresses the sentiments of 90% of the state is fired because of an agenda-driven corporate PR apparatus in Chicago.

And its another demonstration that States aren’t States anymore. They are just appendages of the Corporate Federal Conglomerate.

He was fired because he refused to *love* the lie. IOW, he didn’t accept the mark (character) of the beast.

“Love” wins.

To the left, freedom of speech means freedom from ever hearing speech that they don’t like.

And once again another good reason to be a union construction worker. The guy should sue the hell out of the bar and company along with the owner of the building.

Freedom to the left means being free to destroy those they disagree with.

That sucks. Usually those hijack surveys don’t show up until you have clicked on the site a few times. I didn’t post the whole article because I wasn’t for certain if I could or not, so I just excerpted to be careful.

Yes, we have the group Freedom FROM Religion, now we will have the group Freedom FROM Speech. Country is going to pot really quickly. I’m not talking about marijuana either.

Unless he is a day laborer or even seasonal then he will probably lose or it will cost a fortune to sue. Hopefully he does and wins but I think everything is stacked against us lately.
