A group of New York veterans is preparing to march into court after a town ordered the Gadsden flag removed from a military armory.
The city of New Rochelle, N.Y., has removed the Gadsden “Don’t Tread on Me” flag from the New Rochelle Armory after the city council refused to let a veterans organization display the flag, World Net Daily reported.
The United Veterans Memorial and Patriotic Association of New Rochelle is fighting the decision, ordered by City Manager Chuck Strome after complaints that the flag is a symbol of the Tea Party movement, according to World Net Daily.

What's next?
I recall the days following 9/11/2001 and liberal callers to the several talk shows I listen to stating that they refuse to fly the Flag because it was "too Republican."
I recall also news items where some people were demanding that neighbors take down their American Flag because it was "too Republican."

What do you expect from a group of politicians who are so well-versed in giving niggardly praise to those Vets?

If I had neighbors like that, I’d have needed a bail bondsman and atty.

Marxists and Cultural Marxists ALWAYS seek to rewrite history, particularly when it is inconvenient for them.

I can’t believe the actual hate that lib-dem trash filth pols have for Vets.
Gimme 90secs inside a locked 8’x10’ room with each pol, and that’d change, rapidly.

I suppose they'd really get their knickers in a twist if the U.S. Navy returned to flying this one below Old Glory:

So what? It’s a historical flag of this country. About when we were fighting tyranny and oppression for no representation.
Conservatives use the regular flag a lot too. We can use any of the historical flags and often do.

It was quickly replaced by the Rainbow flag embroidered with the words “Walk All Over Us”

Once again, the simpletons didn’t know their history when they ordered that flag taken down. Alas however, they have thus addressed an issue which will be debated and eventually a new law enacted stating that the flag is no longer appropriate and must “NEVER BE FLOWN AGAIN!”
Damn the stupidity of these people.

This was posted two weeks ago. The rest of the story is a feud between the mayor and the veterans that goes back several years.
See this post from two weeks ago for the whole story.
