ZFlag2Here’s the deal: if you live in the United States, you must be proud to announce your allegiance to this nation. Period. It doesn’t mean one must I LOVE AMERICAagree with everything that goes on within our country. In fact, it doesn’t even mean that one should be happy with the direction in which a country is heading. Lord knows that this country needs a lot of work to turn things around.
 
However, national pride is important. Americans should be proud of being American; Canadians should be proud of being Canadian; the British should be proud of being British.
Increasingly, patriots are being harassed or punished for their willingness to proudly hail their nation. In June, a man was forbidden by his residence complex in Houston from displaying the American flag because it constitutes a “threat to Muslims.”
Reporters who inquired about the unbelievable story were escorted off the premises by an officer, but the residence issued a statement, saying,
“While the Lodge on El Dorado admires our resident’s patriotism, we must enforce our property rules and guidelines. Such guidelines maintain the aesthetics of our apartment community and provide for the safety of all residents. The apartment community already proudly displays our country’s flag in a safe and appropriate manner at the entrances to our community.”
A month later, news broke of a Florida veteran who was being threatened with foreclosure on his home by a Home Owners Association who Pray for America 08demanded a fine of $8,000. The man’s infraction? He put a small flag in his planter outside his window.
Days later, another story broke about another outrage in Florida where a man’s lease was being refused by the apartment complex in which he lived because he hung an American flag inside his apartment.
Recently, conservatives have highlighted the outrage in Texas where a principal was ousted from her job because she had the audacity to request that students speak English in the classroom.
These absurdities have gone on for too long and it is time to highlight these unacceptable bully tactics by shining a light on what America is becoming.
A picture was posted on Youngcons.com where a patriotic American sets the record straight and lets people know that pride in America is an absolute must if one wants to take advantage of the freedoms this country offers.
His message is simple: If this flag offends you, I’ll help you pack.
