Last time I checked, Oregon was part of the United States which leads one to the obvious question… Who among us is offended by the American flag???
“ALBANY, Ore. – At the Oaks Apartments in Albany, the management can fly their own flag advertising one and two bedroom apartments – but residents have been told they can’t fly any flags at all.”
“Jim Clausen flies the American flag from the back of his motorcycle. He has a son in the military heading back to Iraq, and the flag – he said – is his way of showing support.”
“This flag stands for all those people,” said Clausen, an Oaks Apartment resident. “It stands for the people that can no longer stand – who died in wars. That’s why I fly this flag.”
“But to Oaks Apartment management, Clausen said, the American flag symbolizes problems.”
“He was told to remove the red, white and blue from both of his rides, or face eviction.”
“It floored me,” he said. “I can’t believe she was saying what she was saying.”
“Even long-time residents like Sharron White, who has flown a flag on her car for eight years, has been told to take it down.”
“White said management told her that “someone might get offended.”
“I just said to her ‘They’ll just have to get over it,’” White said.”
“Resident we talked to who had been approached to take down their flags all told us the same thing: that management told them the flags could be offensive because they live in a diverse community.”
FULL STORY
This really beats all.
Our elected representatives are repeatedly pushing legislation against the will of the majority.
Children are singing songs about Obama in public schools where Christmas carols have been outlawed.
And now Americans can’t fly the United States flag in our own country for fear of offending people?
Really? Really???
I am offended. Deeply offended.
I am getting more offended by the day.
