Connecticut: More Flag Hatred

We read:

"Her son is fighting the Taliban in Afghanistan, but one Connecticut mother is waging a war of her own over her right to fly Old Glory on her front lawn.

Teresa Richard's condo association in this community north of Hartford wants an American flag and a Blue Star Mothers of America flag removed from her front lawn, along with the flagpole upon which they hang......

Another resident, Gene Doering, has been flying his flag on a 13-foot pole in the condominium complex for five years. "They wrote me a letter and said they wanted me to take the flag down," Doering told FOXNews.com. "Well, I refused to take the flag down."

The former National Guardsman hired a lawyer instead and after three months of pestering, the association let him be, Doering said. "It's kind of small for the association to waste so much time doing something like that," Doering said. "

An upmarket Florida town is trying to make The Donald take his flag down too but he is not having it -- quoting the 1st Amendment. He is promising them a long time in the courts instead.
