New York town removes flag as

Not a surprise I mean this is the state that elected idiots that can't read the constitution and has a governor that signed a bill that banned cops from using the rifles they use in hostage situations and in situations when they are doing a warrant search.Idiots probably don't even realize this flag has been around since the 18th century.

5 idiots that need voted off the city council...

It seems inappropriate to me for the government to be flying a flag associated with a particular political movement.

Indeed...the US flag is flown by both the democrats and republicans...maybe we should ban that. This wasn't the government flying the gadsden flag it was the local veterans group.

Um - it was being flown at a city owned, city operated, public facility. Regardless of who physically hoisted it, that's being flown by the government.

And there you have it folks, end of discussion.

But Parente said at the council meeting no one in his organization is a Tea Party member.

“I’m a proud Republican,” he told the council.

No.

If you dislike America, and the American flag, and what they stand for, you can always move to another country that suits you.
