Oregon apartment complex bans flags… wait, what?

Are we doing this again?! And, why I am not surprised. I remember sending an open letter to the UC-Santa Barbara student body president after 9/11, because he requested the large flag be taken out of the student dining hall. If you’re offended, I hate it. You can try to return the favor with you’re legally protected FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION…

For what it’s worth, we’re still in a war (Obamaniacs want to call it a “legal matter“), and th0se people still want to kill you, even if you don’t fly the flag. (although It’s still time to pick a side.

This from KATU…

An Oregon apartment complex is banning its residents from flying American flags, not only from their dwellings but also their vehicles, KATU in Portland reported.

Residents’ outrage started when Jim Clausen, whose son is in the military and on his way back to Iraq, was told he couldn’t fly an American flag from the back of his motorcycle.

If he didn’t take the flag down, he was told he’d face eviction, the station reported.

“It floored me,” Clausen told the station. “I can’t believe she was saying what she was saying. It [the flag] stands for the people that can no longer stand – who died in wars. That’s why I fly the flag.”

Sharron White, a long-time resident, was told by management to take down the flag she’s flown on her car for eight years because “someone might get offended.”

“I just said to her, ‘They’ll just have to get over it,’” White told the station.

The ban also applies to flag stickers on cars, as well as sports flags.

KATU attempted to contact management at the apartment complex, but no one returned their calls.

    For what it’s worth, the apartment complex in Oregon caved to the pressure and the flags are now being allowed again. She shouldn’t have banned them in the first place.
