Nice to see the homeowner's association finally agreed to let a World War II veteran fly his flag although why they opposed it in the first place.....

Legion Applauds Resolution of Flagpole Dispute

/PRNewswire/ -- Calling the decision of the Sussex Square Homeowners' Association Board in Va. to withdraw legal action against a WWII hero, "a great decision," the leader of The American Legion congratulated all parties involved.

"This is a victory for reason and I applaud the board for making the correct decision to permit this American hero to honor Old Glory in such a fitting way, every day, on his property," said National Commander Clarence E. Hill. "I also commend Legionnaires and all Americans across the country who flooded Col. Barfoot, the association and The American Legion with letters, emails, phone calls and messages of support and tribute."

Because of the controversy involving the 90-year-old Medal of Honor recipient, Rep. Howard P. "Buck" Mckeon (R-CA) and Republican Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) introduced a resolution, H. Res. 952, allowing Congressional Medal of Honor recipients to properly display the United States flag on their property at all times.

"I thank the law firm of Marchant, Honey & Baldwin for their pro-bono efforts in resolving this issue. There is always room for discussion and solutions to be achieved within the system," Hill added. "In this case, the homeowners' association recognized the remarkable sacrifice and devotion of this true hero and acted wisely within the boundaries of their authority to do the right thing. We understand and appreciate the important role homeowners' associations play in local communities. The American Legion encourages all homeowners to continue to properly display Old Glory."

UN Seeks to Silence Free Speech in America

I found this story about the United Nations actions deeply disturbing. Why should we as Americans not be able to speak out against any group who threatens Americans? Why should we as Americans bow down to the United Nations? Whose in charge?

Maybe the better question is "Are you ready? Have you made your peace with your Creator?"

Read the story and see if you find the hair on your arms raising up in alarm.

UN may make ban on criticizing Islam mandatory, making it a criminal offense in the U.S.

.....According to a report by CNN's Lou Dobbs posted on YouTube, the proposal that has been repeatedly brought in recent years by the Organization of Islamic Conference states is expected to resurface as early as this spring.

This time, however, the resolution wouldn't allow nations to opt out.

"The United Nations has adopted what it calls a Resolution to Combat Defamation of Religion," Dobbs said in the report. "The U.N. now wants to make that anti-blasphemy resolution binding on member nations, including, of course, our own. That would make it a crime in the United States ... to criticize religion, in particular, Islam.".....http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/025110.php
