Sometimes I wonder if Massachusetts<\/a> is really part of America<\/a>. The latest incident to cause me to question\u00a0this occurred in Wrentham, Massachusetts, over the 4th of July<\/a> holiday. I really enjoyed the 4th of July. I was in a parade with flags, marchers, patriotic<\/a> music, and political candidates. There were a lot of flags around. Well, the Daily Caller<\/a>\u00a0reported today on a problem with residents of public housing<\/a> in Massachusetts\u00a0who decide to fly their American flags<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

\n

The Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development<\/a> is claiming that a memo distributed to some public housing residents announcing a ban on public displays of the American flag was a mistake that is \u201cbeing corrected.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cDue to a tenant\u2019s repeated complaints reported to the Department of Housing and Community Development over the July 4th holiday, Wrentham Housing Authority has been informed that the public display of the American flag in common areas is not permitted,\u201d said the memo, which was posted on residents\u2019 doors in the Garden Lane public housing complex.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The memo goes on to say that visible flags could be displayed within a resident\u2019s home. Thanks a lot. Does the state now control how people decorate their homes?<\/p>\n

Today I received teh following email:<\/p>\n

The Wrentham Republican<\/a> Town Committee is gathering at 6 pm on Friday July 13th on the common to protest the Patrick administrations original ruling that said American’s didn’t have a right to express their patriotism in public at public housing. \u00a0Please join us if you want to make sure this doesn’t happen again when no one is looking.<\/strong><\/p>\n

These are my kind of people!<\/p>\n
