Homeowner's Association Threatens to Tow Disabled Vet's Truck Because of USMC Stickers

[STORY HERE]

Yes, this is a true story, believe it or not. Frank Larison served in the Marine Corps in Vietnam. Like many Marine Corps vets, he has USMC stickers on his truck. Now, the mini-tyrants at the "Woodlands II on the Creek" HOA are telling him he has to remove the stickers or cover them, or his vehicle will be towed.

Texas Woman Told to Remove 'Offensive' American Flag From Office

[STORY HERE]

An employee of a hospital in Texas hung her American flag in her workplace for Memorial Day. Someone complained that it was offensive, and the management took it down.

McLucas, a supervisor at Kindred Hospital in Mansfield, Texas, had displayed the 3-by-5-foot flag in the office she shares with the hospital's three other supervisors. McLucas said one of her colleagues, a woman who immigrated to the United States from Africa 14 years ago, complained about the flag to upper management, and the hospital decided to take down the flag.

I don't even know where to start. It used to be that immigrants were thought to be more patriotic than the rest of us, since they knew what it was like to live in a lesser country. So when they'd move to the States, they would be so overcome with thankfulness and pride, they'd be singing the praises of our nation more so than those of us who took freedom for granted. But an immigrant to the US, who finds the American flag offensive? I would like to take up a collection to fly her back to her homeland.
