Apartment Complex Bans Soldier’s Small Flag Display

February 2, 2013 By B. Christopher Agee

Just months after returning from a nine-month deployment to Afghanistan, U.S. Army National Guard veteran Tyler Barge was embroiled in another fight defending the American flag. This time, it involves the management of his Salem, Va. apartment complex.

A small American flag, displayed in a cup of dirt on his patio wall
, is a violation of the building’s code, he was told.

Barge received a notice informing him he must remove the flag, along with a few other items – a broom and table, for instance – deemed inappropriate.

“We need your help to keep our community one of the best in Salem,”
the notice read, giving Barge several days to remove the offending items. A list inexcusably included a veteran’s American flag.

“I like to keep a flag on display in honor of those who have died fighting for our freedom,” he said in an interview.

He went on to say he “saw the flag flying in Afghanistan; it’d be nice to see it flying here, too.”

You are confused. The Republicans only control the House.

Accurate description of the Teahadis, though.

This country has a serious problem............the least stable among us have been allowed to hit way above their weight class for way too long.

You might much more accurately use that observation to explain the fact that an ignorant, arrogant, dumbed-down, elitist class of agenda-driven ideologues has gained iron-fisted control of America's White House and Congress.


Just the House, dude. Just the House.
