Time to lash out a bit...

Okay, so all my blogs won't be happy...but there's a good point to this one and one that I hope each and every one of my readers will follow and do something about it.

So I'm heading to Atlanta this morning to do some good soul work for the Lord! Helping my buddy Don and his friend and fellow soldier of God load items to be sent to Nigeria in hopes to help build a worship center for those without, and I'm listening to the Mojo morning show here on 99.5. I've come to like Mojo because he doesn't just spout nonsense and makes my mornings a but more enjoyable.

This morning he's got a very touchy article he's read and asks for opinions on something he pulled off of Fox News about a 28 year old military vet who's served in Kosovo and Iraq, comes home, and his wife decks the apartment out all patriotic for his homecoming. Awesome and cool, right?

WRONG. Turns out, the owners of the property have told them they must take down their American flag hanging in the window, or face eviction... But he can do it AFTER MEMORIAL Day since he's a vet and all.

First of all, What the hell? The owners have some sort of clause in the contract that bans the display of flags, banners and political or religious materials.

So...we're not allowed to hang our own flag, our own pride, in our own country??

Now I don't know about you guys but the way I see it, anyone that prohibits an American, and a VETERAN at that, to display their heritage, their pride, their patriotism, is violating our God Given right, our CONSTITUTIONAL right, and therefore is committing an act of Treason against our nation. You know what they do those who commit treason? Exatly...

Now before I go further, here's the afformentioned article (new window)

This disgusts me. This is pathetic. What is our nation coming to? "For the greater good" becomes crap and nonsense hidden between the lines of political mumbo jumbo...in which I will be posting a rant later on about that...

My thoughts after reading the article is that someone likely complained about it because they didn't like it. Well to you, the complainer, I say get the hell out of my country. If you were born here, you should be willing to die defending that flag. If you weren't born here, why the hell are you in my country usurping our freedoms and liberties? Either way, if you don't like Old Glory, if you have a problem with someone flying it, then you don't deserve to live under it.

This is my opinion and if you don't like it, well, you're entitled to your opinion. And if your opinion includes the dislike of the American Flag, well, you have no place in my life on my country.
