Ban on American Flags Came From HUD
This is a follow up on the story about Massachusetts residents in a housing complex being told that the American Flag was offensive.
According to the local housing authority, the flag order came from the state Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) on Wednesday, “due to a tenant’s repeated complaints” reported to the agency over the July 4th holiday.
The notice on residents’ doors state that the Housing Authority had been informed by the state that “the public display of the American flag in common areas is not permitted. As a result, all American flag displays must be restricted to the interior of your apartment.”
Yesterday morning, state officials were busy apologizing for the order, although no particular person could be identified as its originator.
Pfffffft. The specific “person” is leftism.
“We were not aware of this decision (to ban the U.S. flags) when it was made, and it was a mistake that is being corrected immediately,” DHCD spokesman Jason Lefferts said in a statement yesterday. “Department of Housing and Community Development policy for local housing authorities includes not allowing displays of private materials in public areas. This does not extend to respectful and safe displays of the American flag.”

BS, they were hoping to push this through with little or no push back, they were wrong and that should be a lesson to us to stand up for what is right and stomp on the fricking commies that relentlessly attack all Americans.

In what other country is flying that country’s flag on that country’s soil considered “offensive”?
if a person is offended by a country’s flag, what are they doing in that country? Plain and simple. Why the hell are you here?

Did ya ever notice, all these stories end the same way. “It was a mistake” “No specific person can be found who issued the order” bla bla bla. From flags on the lawn to Fast and Furious, its all the same bullshit. Mitt is going to need a big broom.

Put all the bastards on a ship to the middle of the Pacific, launch them in lifeboats and see if any nation is interested in having them as immigrants. If not, tow them to the South Seas and see if they can navigate “around the horn”.

the problem ended abruptly when Senator Scott Brown who’s hometown is Wrenthan, MA (same town as the apt. complex), made a couple of phone calls, and basically said, “knock the shit off”, or “if you keep complaining about our flag, you’ll be out of a job”.
