On Thursday, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of a
regulation to remove some of the stars on the U.S. flag in favor of
religious crosses. The legislation was initially introduced in Alabama
and was quickly mimicked by other southern states. Evangelical
Christians, Senator Roy Enbrieder from Mississippi and Florida Governor
Rick Scott held a celebratory rally today outside of Enbreider’s
palatial mansion. “This is an important day in our country,” spoke
Enbreider, “The federal government has usurped power from the states for
long enough. Today, we get some of that power back. Our flag is supposed
to represent our great country with each star representing a single
state. Yet many of us believe in a symbol much greater than a simple
star. We believe in the power of God and the power of our savior Jesus
Christ. The courts have agreed, if any state votes in favor of the
change, that simple star will be replaced by our magnificent cross.”

Currently there are eight states seeking to replace their star with the
cross: Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Idaho,
Oklahoma and Kansas. Opponents of the decision have begun preparations
to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, but it is unlikely to be resolved
before the flag change occurs. However, the full ramifications of the
Circuit Court’s decision may not have been foreseen by conservatives.
Legislation is popping up in multiple states to change their star to
something other than a cross. Michigan wants a small mitten though they
may have to fight Wisconsin for that honor, Nevada is seeking to replace
theirs with a “$” and New York would like an extended middle finger to
represent their state. Perhaps the most astounding potential replacement
comes from cash-strapped California who will be “renting” out their star
to advertisers. Internet service provider, Go Daddy, appears to be the
current front-runner, though Ikea has also expressed interest.
Regardless, in a few months the U.S. flag will likely be forever altered.
