I don't get it.

Then I again since summer last year I have been feeling rapidly getting out of touch with current trends.

The Democrats used to be the party of segregation and Jim Crow until realignment.

given that these ladies are the great grandmas of the people sharing this, it's really funny :)
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

You have to be kidding me, the US is one of the most military-worshipping countries in the world. I know there's very little sense in these "memes", but jeez.

QuoteNEWSBREAKING One Of America's FAVORITE Restaurant Chains Just TRASHED Our Military Vets – BOYCOTT THEM NOW!

Of all the asinine policies, Dave and Buster's arcade and restaurant in Kentwood, Michigan demanded veterans, Victor Murdock and Adrienne Brown of the American Legion Riders Post 179 of Grandville, MI, remove their vests or vacate the restaurant.

The patches on their vests depicted the American Flag, a bald eagle and the Prisoner of War Flag. The restaurant's management claimed the patches on their vests promoted gang-related symbols.

This is political correctness run amok. According to Military.com, Texas-based Dave and Buster's headquarters issued a statement explaining:

"The group was asked to remove the jackets or turn them inside out because the business' dress code prohibits evidence of gang affiliation. Spokeswoman April Spearman said the policy was in place 'to ensure that everyone is able to enjoy themselves in a fun and safe environment.'"

The American Legion is one of the oldest, most respected veterans' organizations in the country. Since its charter and incorporation by Congress in 1919 following World War I, the American Legion has served as a patriotic veterans organization devoted to mutual helpfulness. The American Legion is most assuredly not a gang. The American Flag, the bald eagle and the Prisoner of War Flag are not gang symbols.

Dave and Buster's needs to reap what they have sown. The internet is full of forums and discussion groups planning to boycott Dave and Buster's for their utter contempt and disrespect of American veterans.

Dave and Buster's is not only disrespecting veterans who have served our country, they are denying them their First Amendment right to freely express themselves.

What does this say about America when our veterans cannot display the very flag they fought and died for? Not sure how to pronounce it but the word is BOYCOTT.

That article is about what you'd expect from someone who can't pronounce boycott.

No, it's not.  But the American Legion Riders are not the American Legion, and they wear MC gear and MC gear is a no-no.  Because bikers.
