Vet Faces Lawsuit For Flying American Flag
A Central Florida war veteran faces a lawsuit for flying the American flag on a pole in his front yard.
“I don’t understand why it would bring down the values of our homes by flying the American flag from a pole in my front yard,” homeowner Jimmie Watkins said.
Watkins and his wife, Ria, received a final notice from the Sussex homeowners’ association in Clermont that they must remove the flag or face legal action.
The former retired U.S. Navy communications officer said he refuses to back down for the American flag.
And he damn well shouldn’t back down! This is the American flag, symbol of our freedom, and those scum buckets who find it offensive should pack their snooty bags, and get the hell out! I’m sure there are a few places, like Iran, or Cuba, who would welcome them with open arms!
“Each sub-association has its own set of documents and they can differ,” Hart said. “The rationale for that only exists within the minds of the folks that are doing it. I can’t sit here and tell you why.”
The homeowner’s association is not commenting about their rules. But state law said anyone can display a flag in a “respectful manner” as long as it is removable, Local 6 reported.
Oh, I can just bet the association isn’t commenting. I can’t imagine how they’d make themselves appear any more obnoxious than they already have.

Homeowner’s Associations aren’t a Right/Left issue.
Jimmie bought himself a house in a neighborhood and didn’t understand the rules about flagpoles. Now he’s in the wrong and squalling like a newborn because he wasn’t paying attention.
He can display his flag in dozens of ways that show respect to both the country and the deal he agreed to but he decides he’s better than everyone else and puts a pole in the middle of his yard and neighbors be damned.
Sorry, Jimmie’s all wrong on this one. He can get a removable pole on his porch like he agreed he would.
The only people that would find this offensive would likely be some scum sucking America hating asshole commie bastards…
Just sayin’…
@grumps:
Actually grumps, it has become a left or right issue. It’s all about control of others, and who would know best how to control other people’s live and property than the left?
