that's the beauty of america i suppose...you can vote in new elected officials. in general, however, elected officials more or less reflect their constituency, leading me believe it is not just them, but a powerful minority/lazy majority that lets stuff like this slide. i feel like there is just a shift away from what it means to be a patriot from someone who believes in individualism and self-sufficiency and love for america to someone who just doesn't want to offend anyone. i feel like this post is off-topic though, so it ends now.
