I wouldn’t want to have a “flagpone’ showing in public either...

Flagpone? Is that anything like cornpone?

I’d be embarrassed if my flagpone was showing in public.

I doubt the actual title includes the word “flagpone”.

Tried to read the article but WUSA.com is down.

There have been may stories around the country about homeowners associations doing things like this and worse.

I don't suppose the ACLU would take this on but someone at FOX NEWS might.

Flagpone = Flagpole

It is 55 degrees inside and 0 outside. Sorry about that. The article is real. Does it work?

This is a really important issue. Mark Levin covered last night. Better link: WWII vet battles homeowners group over flag issue

A Medal of Honor Winner!

Thanks for raising the issue!

Don't you wish there was a "preview" feature you could use before posting a piece with such ridiculous errors?

Oh, wait...

I’m confused by the excerpt on this post. Was it a flagpone or a falgpone?

Just heard this story, it's beyond outrageous.

These HOAs need to be taken to task, hard.
I've been the president of one HOA and served as a board member on another and nothing was ever written in stone. Nothing.

May have been a 'board' member, fine & dandy.
But all of us were also dealing with & representing our neighbors, too.
This is pure BS.

OTOH a more likely mistype would have been a “flagpoke” *(small mercies)
