Politically Incorrect to Express Patriotism?

A story in the AP newswire today tells of a single customer who has complained to Dairy Queen, Inc. about what he/she believes to be a 'politically incorrect' sign on display in a Wisconsin restaurant. Here's the text...

"A Wisconsin Dairy Queen owner is defending a sign describing his restaurant as "politically incorrect" for its unabashed support for "God and country.
The sign at the franchise in Kewaskum notifies patrons that staff may say "Merry Christmas," ''Happy Easter" and "God Bless America," among other things.
Owner Kevin Scheunemann tells WDJT-TV he "felt the sign was appropriate to hang in terms of being transparent about the views of the owner and staff supporting God and country."
One customer who apparently doesn't agree took a picture of the sign and complained about it on Dairy Queen's page on Facebook.
The chain tells the station the sign "expresses the views of this independent owner only" and doesn't speak for the company or any other franchise owners."

Are you freaking serious?! This complaining customer is so horrifically offended by an expression of patriotism, Christmas and other things that they must try to make an example of the franchise owner as being insensitive to people's feelings?!
Well, let's just make the whole world come to a screeching halt because one person is supposedly aghast by someone else saying, "God Bless America!"

HOW COMPLETELY LUDICROUS!

I would love to know just how many times a day this outraged individual says something akin to "Oh My God!" in their daily speech. Talk about coming from a hypocritical position to effect YOUR feelings on everyone else around you, or on those who enjoy hearing 'Merry Christmas, etc.'

This person really needs to stop thinking that the world revolves around themselves!

Plain and simply, I say to them, "Get a life and stop telling everyone else what to say, think or express."

Then, grow a spine and realize that your personal views aren't the will and whim of the Universe.

(Absolutely disgusting!)
