Are Flags Offensive?

At many apartment complexes American flags are not allowed! In my opinion if you find the American flag offensive, why live in the United States? Don't get me wrong if you come here legally and aren't a terrorist, you have every right to live here, but why live under an offensive flag.

This country was founded on, and is still largely run on majority rule, and let's be honest the overwhelming majority of Americans have no quarrel with the flag. There is nothing on the flag that is wrong or that is really offensive-stars and stripes and that's it.

This nation was one of few countries in hundreds of years that did not have an insubordinate class. The flag is a symbol of that intention, it should not be something to be hated, it is something to be proud of.

I leave you with a fine quote, from an interesting person: "There's the country of America which you have to defend, but there's also the idea of America. America is more than just a country, it's an idea. An idea that's supposed to be contagious."
