Seems that he is no longer here to explain and I cant speak for him. But yes, a military man would not be allowed to put up a sign critical of the president at their private residence.
Actually they are, provided the property they put them on is private property..
For example, they are allowed bumper stickers, and they indeed are allowed signs in their yard provided its privately own and not on government land.
Interesting. I used to appear in front of Steve Servaas all the time when I was practicing law in Grand Rapids. Very conservative guy, but he got this one 100% right.
(1) Express a personal opinion on political candidates and issues as a private citizen, but not as an Army representative
Note they can issue them as private citizens.
(2) Display political signs, banners, or posters in government facilities or large political signs or posters on private automobiles (a political sticker on a POV is authorized).
Note the use of GOVERNMENT FACILITIES.
Heck, your own link states His attorneys argued that service members have a right to voice their opinions as long as they do not appear to be presenting their views as being endorsed by the military.
Btw, he was kicked out for saying that he would not follow orders, not because he said something negative.
Stein found an ally on Capitol Hill in Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.), who is a Marine reservist. Hunter wrote a letter to the Marines asking them to drop the case against Stein because the sergeant was merely expressing personal opinions and was not representing the Marines
Republicans control the local government there, if I'm recalling correctly. So, if that's true ... what did we have, the GOP refusing to allow a criticism of President Obama? Yea. And pigs can fly.
Displaying signs that are critical of President Obama should not be allowed, just as posting comments that are critical of him should also not be allowed on this or any other forum. He is the President of the United States of America. Public displays against him should be considered acts of treason. It's unfortunate that the so-called patriots who wave their flags at others have no respect for the president. This should not be allowed. You don't have to vote for the eventual winner of any election, but there should be no reason to ever slander them.
You do realize that a bloody war was fought over that very scenario. The King lost.
It is, We The People. Not, him the President.
Each individual US citizen, is equal to the President and every King, or dictator on the planet. We are no below them.
I am not a liberal. You lose by default. I will read and reply to anything I want. If you can't deal with that, then YOU don't have to read MY comments.
Then why would you express Progressive controlling values, 180º of the very Constitution, we the people placed on the government, to chain them down?

the township would have to respond to any complaint, so yes, if someone complained (as Democrats always do), they would have to take action.
