Elderly Woman Told She Can’t Fly American Flags

I am all for people flying the American Flag, but they better start reading their leases, or their Home Owners Association rules. If they sign it, they are saying they agree to it. If they line it out, or move elsewhere, then they wont have to deal with those idiotic rules. Just my , but seems like a simple solution.

She is living in government housing paid for by taking money from others and now complains about the government coming down on her?

She needs someone to tell her:" What goes around comes around!

“These veterans fought for us for freedom and now you can’t even fly the flag for them,” she said.
*
But if she does not take the flags down, Rummerfield said she could be in violation of her lease – and that could possibly lead to eviction.
*
Paulus, who lives on a low income, said she hopes it doesn’t come to that.
*
“If I do, I don’t know where I’ll go,” she said. “I just want to stand up for my rights, that’s all.”

Another fine example of a socialist patriot. I'll honor our fallen soldiers by dishonor inf what they fought for. I have zero regrets getting out of the army. People like her aren't worth it.

Considering that tenants in that complex are permitted to hang their laundry over their balcony, its seems to be a case of selective enforcement.

If the flag represents the government, burning it in protest is the patriotic thing to do.

Never thought of it that way.

Then its a good thing that the flag represents the United State of America, instead of its government.

Who would enforce a flag burning ban? The United States of America or the government?

As much as it pains me, that ban has already been ruled unconstitutional by SCOTUS.

Government housing huh? Well...since im paying for it, she can can fly the flag.

Since I'm paying for it, she doesn't deserve a flag.

I'm curious. Why, exactly, doesn't she deserve to own or fly an American flag?

Does the American flag represent the government tit?

What does your response have to do with the question I asked?

 

[Phil502]

Think we should throw her off the balcony for needing help?

We have no idea how a woman that age got in such a place to need assistance, she may have worked her whole life and had some bad luck or hard times.

Any one of us could be where she is at some time, try to remember that.

 

[Birds Away]

Apparently, for the truly patriotic, anyone who outlives their ability to work and does not have children/family to support them, must be summarily executed in the name of Liberty.

Now that I'm at a real keyboard.

What the American flag means to me. It represents our founders and the revolutionary war soldiers who risked their lives and fortunes so that their posterity may have liberty and live free from tyranny. It represents those who have since fought and/or gave their lives to maintain it.

Do you think our founders would have fought if they thought their posterity would vote themselves Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare, food stamps, free housing and they myriad of other social programs? I'd think not.

What do parents tell their teenage children who think they can come and go and do as they damn well please? As long as your in my house, you will live by my rules. We have a medal of honor recipient in this country who was denied the right to fly the American flag on his OWN property because his HOA didn't like it. Yet we have a lady living in government housing demanding HER rights. Where is she the least bit concerned about the rights of those who are having to pay her rent at the end of the government gun? Would the INGO reaction be the same if she were told to take down an Obama flag? I'd think not.

I don't know why she's living in government housing or what circumstances put her there. It truly may be of no fault of her own. But I think most of us understood as teenagers that when someone else is paying for your existence, you don't get to make the rules. Does anyone truly think the government doesn't want to attach strings to their free cheese? Does anyone truly think that the government doesn't use that free cheese to manipulate it's citizens? Like it or not, that's one of the liberties you give up when you go on the dole.

We've willingly given up these rights by letting the government take over retirement, healthcare, etc instead of taking care of our own. Before the government did it, the individual did. Now we have a bunch of grown children (recipients) living at mom and dad's house (government) demanding rights.
