A native Texan, I lived in Oregon for about 4 years. While there I was stunned by how seldom their state flag is displayed. The American flag was not displayed much either – an overall lack of pride in their state and country.
It’s a very sad thing that there are those who want to make the U.S. a non-nation.
I say kick their stinkin’ butts into shape. They want the freedoms that our flag represents, but they don’t want to give it honor.

I DID admit that the owner of the complex has the right to ban certain things, such as putting up flag poles but does that give the owner of the complex the right to tell people what they can put on their vehicles? I don’t think so. The examples I used were of people who had flags on their cars, that seems to me to go well beyond an agreement that may have been sined about putting any flags on their condos.

Well, the ban has been lifted, and ALL flags were banned, not just the American flag. Sports teams flags, any and all flags were banned, but the media likes to distort things, and make it sound like the AMERICAN flag was singled out, while every other flag in the Universe was allowed to fly.

I have always hated condo and apartment rules such as this, that why my hubby & I were ADAMANT when we bought our house that we would NOT be buying a house with an “association” and another layer of rules.

I think the apartments were way out of line telling people what they can put on their cars, but unfortunately, the landlord OWNS the building and CAN tell renters what they can attach to the building.

Also, why is this blog making it sound like the AMERICAN flag is being singled out, when the ban WAS on all flags, before the ban was lifted ????????

First, thanks to you and Sam for your service. While Sam’s comments may seeem over the top it shows us the level of respect and honor that those who feel the call to serve our great country feel within their hearts. To see people disrespect the symbol of the country that they chose to defend must be offensive beyond words to our veterans.

No a Weasle like you making comments about Marines is a disgrace. What the hell do you know about it? Have you served? If not then shut your pie hole.

I am sure that the collected effort over the internet and the outrage it sparked had everything to do with this situation being rectified. Its good to know that every once in a while the good guys still win one.

We are all parts of the great whole and everyone who posted and commented on those post is a part. Maybe I try to connect thing too much at times, but that’s how my brain works.

This is certainly great news although I doubt that I had any part in the end result. It was an effort all across the blogoshere that changed this woman’s mind, if I played even a small part I am grateful.
Thanks for the compliment.
