Trigger Alert! "Ragged Old Flag"

Ah, how lovely. God bless you, Mr. Cash. Artists like you don't come around too often. 



One wonders, however, if he could even get away with performing this song today (not to mention his comment about shooting someone who tried to burn his flag) without "triggering" cries of "micro-aggression." 

Remember the controversy at University of California, Irvine, where members of UCI's Associated Students tried to get the American flag banned from their building's lobby because it "triggered" people? 


Such idiocy can only emanate from the far left.
