Democrats like flags for the seasons with flowers and falling leaves and trees and chipmunks and bunny rabbits and feminine stuff like that.
They hate American Flags.

Ridge, you probably sport a big good ole boy Confederate Flag. Still barking at that parade.

And, I'd wager than neither one of you dumb asses can sing the National Anthem or even know what's going on in the song because you don't know the words.

LOL, C'MON, You can do better than that.
Wake up, our flag is being removed all over the place, so are Christmas Trees, Baby Jesus, and many religious symbols.
Please, for the love of God wake up.

Louise - not lies at all.

The Mineral Wells City Council is reconsidering an ordinance that bans flags from being displayed at the graves of veterans at any time other than two weeks around Memorial Day and Veterans Day,” CBS DFW report.

“The ordinance, which was passed last week, includes a host of regulations concerning what can be placed around city graves. Teddy bears and statues must be removed 21 days after the funeral. Mourners cannot place flowers near a gravesite unless they’re in a vase,” the report adds.

Okay, wait. We have two questions:
1.What made council members think this was a good idea?
2.How did they intend to enforce it

I imagine you know a lot about barking dogs from all the dogs howlin' when you waddle yo big ass down the street, jan-jan.
All I know is you suddenly show up here every 28 days b*tchin' about one thing or another when you have "your friend". Ain'tchu got nobody else to b*tch at, at that time of the month?
Why don't you go stuff your fat face with a few more Hot Pockets and Pop Tarts and a bottle of Midol and go take a bath?
Learn to leave decent people alone and keep your low-class comments to yourself or tell 'em to your low- class family and friends.
Word.

Emily, I'm sure that the reasons are valid and have nothing to do with patriotism.

People were probably leaving the place in disarray (a lot of people at one time stomping all over the place) or never coming back to remove the flags and they become faded from the weather. Or flags and poles coming loose and blowing all over the grounds and the wind taking them into people yards.

I wouldn't doubt it if there was a history of vandalism. They probably just don't want to have to pay someone to clean it up after the holiday.

Have you ever seen one of those graveyards. They are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of little white markers in straight rows. I pass by one often when I take the train. I'd hope they will fly one big huge flag for them.

Sully, you must be still in high school. Without rules and laws there will be chaos. Wasn't Lord of the Flies required reading in your school or were you absent when that was read.

Ahh, Honest Abe, the Republican who freed the slaves from the Democrat Plantation.
He's probably rolling in his grave if he can see how it turned out.
How so many of those he freed have chosen to remain enslaved by free stuff from the same Democrat Plantation in return for their dignity and their votes.

Yeah, I read Lord of the flies, only the criminals, don't follow the rules and laws, and now the rest of us are being taxed into even more rules and laws.
I don't need to be babysat, I don't need to be told, what to eat, what to buy, or else I'll be punished, with more taxes.
If I want to put a flag on My Fathers grave, I am going to, don't want to hear it made a mess, don't want to hear it offended someone, don't want to hear only illegals can fly their flags.
