Debbie Schlussel: An Important Flag Bill That Got Little Fanfare
While we constantly hear about American flag-burning (which we find highly offensive and disgusting), we hear a lot less about something that's also offensive: snooty condo and homeowner associations that ban display of the flag.
Now, that issue has been addressed (to very little press notice). Last week, President Bush signed into law the Freedom to Display the American Flag Act of 2005, a law that bars condominium and homeowner associations from restricting how the American flag can be displayed.
We congratulate Congressman Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD) for sponsoring the bill that allows residents to display the flag on their own property without interference from anti-Patriots and snoots who care more about the view of green lawns and McMansions than the freedoms that allowed them to acquire them.
More on the new law here. Don't let your neighbors unlawfully harass you for your proud display of the flag.
