Vet's Marine Corps Stickers Deemed a Violation

After 9/11, moonbats were forced to look at a whole lot of patriotism. But no longer, now that the cultural tide seems to have turned. In Dallas, a homeowners association won't even tolerate Marine Corps decals on a veteran's truck:
Frank Larison is a disabled veteran with more than 14 years of service, including more than a year of combat duty in Vietnam.
The 58-year-old former Marine now finds himself under attack by his Dallas homeowners association for displaying seven decals on his vehicle supporting the Marine Corps. … The board says the decals are advertisements that violate HOA rules, and must be covered or removed.
Otherwise, the homeowners association for The Woodlands II on The Creek — where Larimore has lived for eight years — says in a letter it will tow the car at Larimore's expense. The board also threatens to fine him $50 for any future incident.
Larimore says the decals, ranging from the Marine emblem to Semper Fi slogans, aren't advertisements for anything. "You can't buy freedom," he reasoned.
No, but you can throw it away.
The few, the proud, the banned.
