No Frickin’ Flags Here!

What is it that Homeowners Associations hate so much about the American flag? Well, I take that back, fascism and American patriotism are pretty much at odds.

Angie Hildebrandt, a condo owner, is being assessed daily fines because she flies her flag outside her home at the Southdale Gardens Condominium Association in Edina, Minnesota. Her two sons are in the military and every generation in her family has fought in wars on behalf of America. Her first flag was stolen. Overnight someone paid a visit to her home and ripped her flag to shreds.

What a nice place to live, Southdale Gardens. Perhaps there’s a certain red, white and black flag you’d like as your community symbol.

    What ——-s! Seriously, she has to move over this? Her neighbors are that busy body horrible? Over a flag? I’m surprised they don’t fine her for the presence of the protesters too.

    This is ridiculous! I could understand hanging laundry on the outside of a condo, but an American flag in America?
