Apartment complex bans the American flag for being offensive

  I understand that in some condo complexes and gated communities that there are restrictions on certain things– such as needing permission to install a flag pole. I don’t agree with this particular restriction but if you join a community and you agree to abide by the rules and one of those rules is a restriction on flagpoles that is just the way it goes.

  However, this seems to be a different story altogether. Residents in an Albany, Oregon apartment complex are being told that they need to remove the United States flags that they are displaying on their vehicles. One person, whose son is in Iraq, flies a flag on his motorcycle to honor his son and all the others who serve in the military. Another resident has flown a United States flag on her car for eight years, she is now being told to take it down.

  What makes this story even more repulsive is the reason why they are being told they can no longer fly their flags– it may be offensive. The ban goes so far as to outlaw flag stickers on cars. It is the image of the American flag in any form that is considered offensive.

that management told them the flags could be offensive because they live in a diverse community

 This “diverse community” is in the United States, these diverse people are not so offended by the United States or our flag that they are willing to leave the country. Nobody has even claimed to be offended but the politically correct owner is afraid that it might offend somebody.

  If the sight of the American flag does offend someone in the apartment complex fuck them. If they don’t like it they can get the fuck out. How’s that for offensive?

  One resident summed it up best:

I just said to her ‘They’ll just have to get over it
