Full story: www.katu.com

ALBANY, Ore. - At the Oaks Apartments in Albany , the management can fly their own flag advertising one and two bedroom apartments - but residents have been told they can't fly any flags at all. ...Clausen learned on Wednesday that American flags and others such as Mexican flags and college team flags were no longer allowed on vehicles parked at the complex. He was told the rule applies to flag decals as well.

Can't show the American flag in America because it might offend others? As a poster at the end of the story said, this is the result of a "multicultural" America. We're being told, more and more frequently (even by the President and his wife) that we can't be proud of our country.

Naturally, the ACLU said they weren't interested. But if NAMBLA members wanted to fly the flag, I bet they'd jump right in.

So let me get this straight. You're in favor of forcing all taxpayers to support a religous display on PUBLIC property (the cross in Mojave), but are against a PRIVATE property owner from exercising control over their own property?

Seems you've got it bassackwards.....

A private property owner has every right to restrict what is displayed on their own property. Especially since in this case they weren't banning JUST the U.S. flag, but ALL flags. You people really need to actually read the constitution once in a while.

The American flag isn't just ALL FLAGS to many of us.

I don't know the historic casualty count defending the Halloween flag , do you ?

Hi Sheeple...seems we run into each other regularly.

If these folks are paying RENT, they should have the right to fly an American flag. Now, if the landlord is paying them for staying there, I guess I could agree with him.

Try again. The gov't was going to swap that piece of property for a nearby 6 times larger piece of property and the cross land would become a private trust for a veterans org.

Veterans of WWI erected that cross as a tribute to those of their generation that died in France in 1917-8.

Seventy years later the lefty-lib-Marxist-Lite crowd wants to undo it.

The cross was maintained at NO CHARGE to the public tax payer. Any charge was absorbed 50-60 years ago.

But hey ! The lefty-lib-Marxist-Lite brigade doesn't give a flying phouc about a past generations sacrifice for America.

I suppose the next demand of the Lefty-lib-Marxist-Lite brigade will be to remove every cross , Star of David and Crescent from every military cemetery in the U.S. Of course the expense will be born by the U.S. taxpayer as mandated by the Lefty-Lib-Marxist-Lite Brigade.

Typical Camel's nose under the tent move.

That has nothing to do with it. This was on PRIVATE PROPERTY. The owner can set any type of rules they want so long as the rules are applied equally to all.

That's the point. You're bitching about this when the case revolves around a private property owners rights.

This is an apartment complex, clearly NOT covered in the statute cited since it is not an "association" nor do the residents have a "separate ownership interest". They are renting, not buying.

Daily Horoscope for December 29

Libra

An emotional situation is as clear as mud today. You aren't sure about your feelings for a certain someone, nor are you convinced that you know what they're playing at. They may be saying one thing and doing another, and you might even suspect that they're playing games with you or trying to get what they can out of the relationship. Or maybe you're imagining the whole thing? Admit it - at this stage you simply don't know.
