Ok, as many of you know I am a former Marine. I am also in the American Legion Post #40 in East Windsor, CT. Tonight I was attending a super bowl party at the Legion Hall and a petition came across the table. I began to read the petition and almost lost my mind. A woman in town who is a widower, owns a condo and has an American Flag mounted on her porch. Her late husband is a Veteran and her son is currently serving in Iraq so she is especially patriotic. A woman (neighbor) is protesting her having the Flag on display and the Condo Association has told her to remove it. The Condo Association rules state that you are allowed to have flags no larger than a certain size (this one is within regulation) if they do not impose a threat or likewise offend any other Condo owners. This particular woman says she is "offended" and wants it gone. She is refusing to remove it and I dont blame her. Our local news station is supposed to go there this week so when they do I will provide a link if there is one available but I wanted to hear your thoughts on this before hand. My thoughts: Fuck that bitch, hippy fucking dueche bag anti American whore. She feels she is offended that the Flag is there, I would feel equally offended if it wasnt. I do not know the womans ethnicity or political affiliation but I swear to God if she is a fucking Muslim I am going to go apeshit. Discuss.

Land of the "Free" baby....

lots of that going around, some ass here in Australia said the Australian flag was a gang sign.

I think it's a patriotic and pride thing.

Get used to more shit like this... things ain't getting any better.

So you'll "go apeshit" if she is a Muslim, but what about if she's a 50 year old, white, fourth generation American?

Maybe the person was offended by a breach of flag etiquette.

I absolutely refuse to get used to it. It is people like them who make people like us, me at least, want to take measures into our own hands.

You couldn't have put that any better.

Seriously, why is it that in America if you show love of your country and patriotism you suddenly become an object of ridicule. At my college (yes I know it's college so I should probably expect it), if you say America is good, or anything else along those lines, people will look at you as if you just said that Hitler was the most righteous man of all time. It has gotten fucking rediculous.

Sigh, this is sorta a double edge sword, while I was raised here and don't like to see stuff like this, I feel that nationalistic pride is evil and any efforts taken to destroy it are a good thing. And yet I like in the most nationalistic nation ever. Go Figure.

Tell that to someone who has bled for that flag. Someone who has lost a loved one for that flag. Someone who has suffered for that flag. It is "just" a Flag to people who feel their freedom is an entitlement, and are to cowardly to defend it. If you are not prepared to die for your freedom then you do not deserve it.

You know, I'd bitchslap both of them.

The woman protesting being being a stupid selfish cunt. And the woman having the flag for being overly patriotic. Nothing wrong with standing up for your country and all but right now the things you think you're standing up for no longer exist and people who think they do kinda piss me off with their ignorance.

Another post for which I'm gonna get flamed, oh happy day. *Gets sunblock*

Would any of you be offended if the other lady were to put up a flag from Iran or another middle eastern country?

The below was taken from one of my posts a while back, i think its fairly relevant.

"When the football world cup was on, my stepfather (who is a fire fighter) wasn't even allowed to put up an English flag on the fire station to support our team. It was said that it "may offend minorities" it seems that we cannot do anything in this country without 'offending minorities'."

This kind of thing is happening everywhere these days. Its political correctness gone mad.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

Ummm....I'd have to say that HOA's (and those who write and enforce their rules) are bastions of conservative, blue haired Republicans. Gotta keep those property values up, you know!!!

No Problem for her ... check out the "Freedom to Display the American Flag Act of 2005" which is now a law:

Freedom to Display the American Flag Act of 2005 - States that a condominium association, cooperative association, or residential real estate management association may not adopt or enforce any policy, or enter into any agreement, that would restrict or prevent an association member from displaying the U.S. flag on residential property within the association with respect to which such member has a separate ownership interest or a right to exclusive possession or use.
States that nothing in this Act shall be considered to permit any display or use that is inconsistent with: (1) federal law or any rule or custom pertaining to the proper display or use of the flag; or (2) any reasonable restriction pertaining to the time, place, or manner of displaying the flag necessary to protect a substantial interest of the condominium, cooperative, or residential real estate management association.

How is hanging one Flag on your porch "Overly patriotic" ??? Over patriotic is wearing those stupid fucking pants the karate instructor had on in Napolean Dynamite. Having one flag in your yard or on your porch is not overboard, no matter what country you are from. She has it displayed because of her late husband as well as her son currently serving.

Because having a flag outside your house indicates that you are proud of your country, same goes for her. Only problem is that, like I said, right now there is nothing in your country to be proud off. If she wants to be proud of her husband and son to serve in a military then be my guest, put up a picture of the person in question, not of the country they are serving without even knowing what they are fighting for.

No, actually that's just a breach of flag etiquette, as I mentioned earlier. And I'd wager that the lady who's displaying the flag is also probably in breach of the flag code. That kind of thing really pisses off the boys at my local legion post too.
