How is that considered a "personal attack"?
Never any content, just the continual attacks.. I am honored.

Sorry for the confusion..

Well, you still haven't really solved the confusion. How does a simple question, politely asked, constitute a "personal attack"?

Or is whining just your default response every time you are challenged with someone that frightens you?

To me, the flag issue reveals a divide between vets and non-vets. Apparently, the military emphasizes to troops they're defending fabric and colors. For many of us, the flag does not mean much. Our love for the United States has to do with its land, its people, and its culture.

In my condo association, we have a rule about not posting on common space; it has nothing to do with politics. (I for one mostly don't care what people post on the outside of their doors, but others do.) I assume that's the same for that housing project. If they allowed the American flag, I presume they would then have to allow all sorts of other flags and objects.

Nonetheless, it seems heartless to evict a 70 year old veteran for something like that.

Oh look everyone!!! It's the forum's most consistent complainer ...

When we can get your ally and conservative moderator here to answer that very question, then we'll all be quite clear on that... now won't we?

Oh wait, I know. Different when you guys claim it.

Do not see a whine, but what is obvious is your consistency in continually attacking any poster who does not agree with you... never offering any content or coherent thoughts.

Every post is hijacked in an effort to belittle other posters, and the mods stay silent... some folks are so lacking in self affirmation or affirmation by others, they need to come here for their daily dose of attention.

If ever there was a time for some selective enforcement of the rules, this is the time.

I can definately understand any property owner that would have a rule "No displaying FOREIGN flags!"

But not the American flag.

Another content filled thread, that has nothing to do with any conversation that you or I are involved in.. keep sticking up for the extreme righties, you are known by the company you keep.
