The president of our HOA is now flying two flags
The American flag and the yellow Gadsden flag. The second one is almost the same size as the first.
This right after he sent out an email about keeping the neighborhood looking nice. If I wasn't afraid of retaliation (he's a world-class asshole), I'd complain.
Since I'm not in a position to do anything (single parent vastly outnumbered by repubs), I thought I'd post here.
Please send hugs and commiserations.
Edited to add: The bright yellow "Don't Tread on Me" flag is the same size as the American flag.
Star Member Stargazer09 (1,799 posts)What does the size of the flag matter so long as the Flag of the United States of America is higher than it?

62. It's become the tbagger's new confederate flag -- representing racism, gunz, hatred and ignorance.
I find it reprehensible and disgusting.
I do like the Obamacare flag.

74. Ignorant, racist, gun nuts where I live use "Heritage" argument to rationalize flying confederate
flag. I don't buy it. The Gadsden flag is a racist symbol of hatred just like the confederate and nazi flags. Sorry.

75. We've lost the fight to keep the confederate flag, the hate runs too deep. Gadsden is different.
I've used it as a teaching tool, taken them to schools on flag day.
No need to let the baggers have their way.
I'm fighting back with knowledge and information, starting with first and second graders.

76. Great, teach first and second graders that symbols of racism and hatred are OK.

How the hell is the gadsen flag racist? It wasn't associated with the south, it was revolutionary war era.
Oh, let me guess, since the tea party used it a lot, its RACIST!!!!!!11111111ELEVENTY!!!! I swear, the ignorance of these oxygen thieves astounds me.
DUmmies walk on it, burn it, wipe their butts on it but if someone runs it up a flag pole, they're afraid of it. :rotf:Hi 5 for this.

I think the primitive just wanted to brag that it has enough money to live in a community that has an HOA.
I find your usage of "tbagger" reprehensible and disgusting
Are you teaching first and second graders the origins and meaning of the term "bagger" as you and your fellow DUmmies use it?
Poor DUmmy, getting the vapors over an American icon.(http://www.nexternal.com/boyles/images/Gadsden1.jpg)
