Did one of them earn that uniform or did they buy it at a surplus store?

Meanwhile residents across America are sued for flying the American flag.

the neighbors have my leave to use this, on their own property, as a rebuttal:

If I were their neighbor, I'd hang effigies of Steve and Virgina from my rooftop.

To do something like that in my home town would have consequences. I honestly they have a right to do put that up and I believe the American Flag can be burned in protest. It offends the hell out of me, but I feel Freedom of Speech is absolute. But I also believe in consequences.
If you burn a flag and someone is so outraged they hit you upside the head, it should surprise no one.

Here, what would happen is that these people would be shunned. They would be the recipients of bad service at restraunts, lost laundry, late night phone calls maybe a brick or two through the window. Not that a brick through a window is good, but when your goal is to outrage people, thing happen.

Apparently, the display is no longer there because it was vandalised. The station is also polling people to find out what they think of the display.

Leftists have no sense of decency. Another example of why I cannot be a liberal.

That might be seen as a threat. I'd hang effigies of hippies.

This is also known as begging for a Molotov cocktail. I wonder if there is an insurance angle here ?

freedom of speech lets us know where the contaminated areas are and how to avoid them.

were I a business owner in the area: no emergency calls
to fix his furnace,plumbing, or anything else.

Amazingly the left gets more irrelevant by the day
with their IRRESPONSIBLE free speech. Let them keep
making these kind of disgusting anti-military, anti-american
BS statements, and pretty soon they will all blow away like dust in the wind.

If these morons don't agree with their neighbors they're perfectly free to move. I wonder if they bought the house just so they could voice their "Dissent."

If I saw such a thing I would seriously consider burning it. I won't elaborate on whether or not I'm talking about the uniform, the house, or both.......
