I probably just got this thread locked so I am sorry but that is the way I feel
White American Pride is called Racism in this country
While I agree with your comments, let's get back to the question at hand before the thread gets locked.
It pains me dearly to say what I'm going to say, but......
Frankie is right
I do understand the arguments on both sides. However, that does not change the fact that the man moved into an area governed by a HOA. When he bought into that area, he bought into the rules. I'm sure that there were many rules that he liked, or he wouldn't have move there.
The fact that there is a rule that he disagrees with doesn't give him the right to break it. The examples that Frankie brought up were a little unrealistic, but let's look at it another way.
Perhaps I buy into the HOA and bring in 40 blue tick hound dogs that howl all the time.
Perhaps I buy into the HOA and bring in a few dozen pigs.
Perhaps I buy into the HOA and open an auto repair shop.
Perhaps I buy into the HOA and set up a junkyard in my back yard.
All of those things would be outrageous to the neighbors. They bought into an area based upon the HOA restrictions. If they had not wanted to be subject to the restrictions, they would not have bought in.
Those same restrictions that prevent him from installing his flagpole are the same ones that prevent him from having a pig farm. It is not discriminating against him or his service, it is to preserve the way of life in that community.
If he doesn't like the rules of the community as set forth by the HOA, he needs to move.
How long would he have lasted in the military if he had not followed the rules......
