We have all heard about the incidents about proud American homeowners being fined by their HOA for wanting to fly the American Flag on their own property (flag too large, pole to tall, etc) and the incident in Frisco where a man wasn't allowed to park his new Ford F-150 pickup in his driveway, because his HOA has a rule that prohibits pickups in the driveway. (Even though they did allow Honda Ridgelines, Lincoln Mark LT, etc.)
The HOA outrage of the week involves a disabled vet in Dallas who is being threaten to have his SUV towed because he has 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". In the video they actually show other vehicles in the same parking lot that have decals that support Obama and "find a cure" ribbons, etc.
I can understand an HOA having rules against painting your house bright red or parking an 18 wheeler on the street, but when they micro-manage down to the decal you display on your vehicle now that is just downright Un-American.
Note to the “Woodlands II on the Creek” HOA board members: We all chose which battles we are willing to fight. With all the crime and injustices going on in the world what could possibly be in your agenda to decide to do battle with a disabled Marine over car decals. A word of advice "You don't mess with Texas", but you sure as heck don't mess with a Marine. . . . .OORAH. . . .
