Feeling patriotic

So, I just read a story about a man who lives in an apartment complex in Webster Texas. He has an American flag flying on his balcony. He has been asked to remove the flag, not because it violates the complex rules, but because it is "a threat to the Muslim community". Really? In America, someone sees the American flag as a threat? Perhaps those people are living in the wrong country! What is going on in this country when people can wave the Mexican flag on Cinco de Mayo. but the American flag can't be displayed? I'm feeling sad and angry because it seems like the very freedoms that people came to this country to enjoy, are the very freedoms that they are now trying to change! There's a part of me that is relieved that I won't be around in a hundred years to see what our great nation has changed. I can't believe it will be 2 years this July 4th that Bug and I met. She still makes me smile every day with her playfulness and demands for love. I think she and I are both pretty lucky!
