Oregon Apartment Complex Bans Flying the American Flag

Yes... make sure and get that little nip at progressives. Well, the hell with conservatives too. Everyone wants to say they're on the right side and they've won the whole patriotism pissing contest. Yeah right. Both sides are about as full of it as they are loud.

Time for a 3 party system.

 

We should start a flag fund. buy like 2000 flags and throw them all over that oregon city in the middle of the night.


edit, not really "throw" them, you get the point

 

Bobwilson is always fighting these kind of posts. This has nothing to with right or left, or fox news and talk radio. This is about bullshit people and their bullshit politics. Everyone should feel pride in flying the flag and it should never, I repeat, NEVER be banned in any situation! Thanks Packerfan!!

 

Yeah but that wouldn’t as big of a slap in the face as them picking it up and having a bond fire with it.

 

oh and by the way, that flag ban was lifted.

KVAL is a news partner with KATU.com
ALBANY, Ore. -- Flags are OK again at an Albany apartment complex after the property manager reviewed the policy and decided she didn't have the legal standing to ban flags from the exteriors of apartments and vehicles parked at the complex.
"If people want to fly any flag of any nationality, it's their right," said Barb Holcomb with Oaks Apartments.

there's nothing wrong with this post. this is probably teh only country in the world where someone is being told you cannot fly the country's flag. the more people who know about it and protest it the faster the situation will be corrected. this kind of bullshit policy never lasts once the rest of the country is aware of it

personally, i'd fly the flag and wait to be evicted. then i'd sue teh appartment for every penny they had for discrimination. fuck em

 

this has nothing to do with fox news or the crowd that they cater to. this is about living in a country where it is becoming acceptable to tell all the citizens thats its not ok to have pride in your country. its becoming ok to tell Americans "you should be ashamed of being a citizen" like i said, not other country in the world would try to ban the flying of its flag within its own borders.

 

i agree we need a 3 party system. being a libertarian i hate not having a decent candidate to vote for. but i'd never vote for a party that tried to say it was ok to ban my country's flag. it seems like you just want to bitch about this post for the sake of having something to complain about. no matter how you cut it, that policy is wrong and should be brought to the attention of every American.

 

Did any of your bastards read the damn article? It is an apartment complex saying that it doesn't want tenets flying the flag. This is a vastly different issue than the government (local, state, federal, martian) saying that you can't fly it.

The complex owners are ass hats. We all agree to the fact that they are pulling a bullshit move. But to think this is political in the sense that it is government backed is completely biased and doesn't match anything stated in the article.

Call and harrass the shit out of the complex. Buy all the tenets flags, picket in front of the place. For damn sure, never vote for one of the owners if they ever run for any type of office. Rant all you want, but at least get the facts of the story right.

 

I don't agree with you. This story was about an apartment complex not allowing someone to fly the flag. The government has nothing to do with this. I can assure you the government condones such acts. I know some people on here are using this as "proof" of how bad things they think are getting in the US simply because they don't happen to like the current administration. But this is a totally stupid, sensationalist piece that is nothing more than the story of a privately owned company making a poor decision. I don't care who you are- nobody is going to side with the apartment complex.

But at least we're in agreement that we need a 3rd party. Its ashame that sometimes some of those like Ron Paul, who actually make sense when they speak are seldom heard and likely because they don't have the money.

But anyway, I'm going to make my peace and I'm going to avoid such posts in the future. Again I wonder what good such pointless articles are doing on a site that has to do with trucks.

 

I'm sure the current one does.

 

i'm not saying it has anything to do with the government. i'm just pissed that individuals who live in a country, any country, think they can get away with making americans ashamed of being americans. this shit never would have happened a until the last decade. this country is going to shit fast.

for the record, i would have voted for Ron Paul if i had the chance

 

What is next!?!?!??

 

Banning my avatar?

 

Any body got a hitch mount mod that I can fly my big ol AMERICAN FLAG!!! And that I will do it with PRIDE!!!!! 24/7

 

That would be scary!!!!!

 

X99999999999

You can go to h!!! if you want me to change mine!!!

 

Wow... unbelievable.

I would buy a 3x5 flag kit for every damned apartment in the complex and offer to install them myself for everyone who wants them. If any were left over I'd keep them for spares to be sure every flag on the property was clean and in good shape.

 

Just to clear up some confusion since the article only covered part of the story(Geez, can you believe the media would only post part of a story?). The ban was on any flag. Not just the American flag. Sports flags, school flags, etc.,etc.

 

i read that, but thats still stupid and wrong
