Political Correctness, baby.

No right to display anything that might offend anyone, unless it is supported by the left-wing.

If he wanted to make his wife wear a hijab, that would be protected.

The media attention appears to be working. It looks as if my trip out of downtown Richmond will wait....

I wonder what would happen if the President weighed in on this issue in favor of Col. Barfoot. If he can comment on someone breaking the law, imagine the media attention if he were to come out and say "the HOA acted stupidly in citing somebody when there was proof that they risked their life for our freedom. He has earned the right to fly our flag."

To say something like that takes courage, so we'll never hear it from Him.

RICHMOND, Va. — A 90-year-old Medal of Honor recipient can keep his 21-foot flagpole in his front yard after a homeowner's association dropped its request to remove it, a spokesman for Democratic Virginia Sen. Mark Warner said Tuesday.

This is excellent news. It's nice to finally see evidence in the MSM that respect for our elders and heroes, patriotism and common sense still exist...
