    That's ridiculous. Can't arrest a guy for burning a flag, but you can stop a fireman from flying one on his truck. If you can't fly the old stars and stripes in the USA, then where can you? I bet they could fly the Mexican flag and there'd be no issues with it.

  • Well we have a republican Govenor and a lot of Republican politicians in Florida so y'all cannot blame this on the Democrats like you probably want to.

    Indeed, it is. I don't understand why large entities have become so weak to a handful who hate us (while choosing to live here). People do have rights to their civil liberties, but THEY DO NOT have the right to REMAIN UNOFFENDED. I could get offended about how many S's are in Mississippi, but it's not the state's fault if I'm retarded. Anyone living in this country that hates what this country stands for are 1 step away from treason. You can disagree with politicians or policies, but here you have rights to express those opinions that were earned by the blood of men who freely chose to carry that flag in your place. If you hate it, die in a fire.

    Read the article. It is saying the flag was flown inappropriately. There is flag etiquette ( http://www.usflag.org/flagetiquette.html ) but I don't see any way that was violated. It's not a lib thing in as much as it sounds like a flag junkie complaining.

  • I truly think a lot of these are cases of local governments trying to avoid a "national" scene from ACLU type outfits. Usually the radical libs are the most vocal. It's refreshing to see people that love America stand up in support. You'll probably see the situation righted and the flags return to the trucks soon.

    President Obama argued during his speech Friday night in Roanoke, Va., that entrepreneurs only succeed when government lets them, saying: “If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”

    “You didn’t get there on your own. I’m always struck by people who think, ‘well, it must be because I was just so smart,’” he added.

  • "Flag etiquette"? What a load of BS. We're not talking about a freaking dinner party. It's a flag. Flags are flown. It's really pretty simple.
