    Every time he left his house and every time he returned he'd see MY EXPRESSION OF FREE SPEECH which would be rather pointed and very specific.

    displaying a large nazi flag is sufficient evidence the scumbag is a nazi or at least a nazi sympathizer.

    But I get how trumpettes jump to the defense of such lowlifes. After all they are citizens of trumpland.

    Its not a flag, it was a garden structure that can only be seen from above, but I can see why a liberal would be completely misinformed. Whatever the case, this person has 1st Amendment rights, it makes no difference if you agree with him or not, you could at least respect the RIGHTS themselves...

    Some would say the purpose of Confederate statues is to remember to never repeat that part of our past. That may not be the original intent but seems to be good reason now to preserve them where they stand.
    I have no use for Nazis, Neo-Nazis, skin heads or Aryans. The swastika is their symbol and is sometimes seen as tats or glorified by outlaw biker gangs with decals, badges or other. It is an offensive symbol and serves only to remind people of Hitler and the millions of Jews he had killed. Stalin probably murdered more but the red star doesn't get the same attention as the swastika or even the Maltese cross. I also find the raised fist symbol offensive as a symbol of black power or communist red or socialist worker parties.
    The cross, the principal symbol of Christian religion and the Star of David are religious symbols to millions including our for fathers and are protected by our constitution so they stay, no matter what.

    So I agree with you that the swastika in the guy's front yard is in bad taste. Maybe someone will take it into their own hands to rid him or his landscaping but he probably has the right to freedom of expression, like it or not. There may be a city ordinance against what he has built or as other have suggested a HOA covenant that regulates landscape standards, structures, monuments, signs, etc.

    I'm not very religious and not a Jew but I agree, the guy should be called out for his yard symbol and for what it represents to many. Maybe this can be done by the courts, in the court of public opinion or by other more direct means.

    As far as your dislike for Trump, that is also understandable. You are not alone. Myself, I support him. He is our duly elected president. I believe that preserving the presidency is more important than the man sitting in the WH. Dems, socialists and even commies who have infiltrated the democrat party have no respect for the presidency. As an American, I find that most disrespectful and very offensive.

    That is called cell phone typos.

    The swastika is ancient Do not allow the symbol taint your lives.

    Displaying a symbol that well over 200,000 Americans died in the successful attempt to destroy the evil regime that the flag symbolized isn't "what they are offering" - its displaying a middle finger to those dead and the other tens of millions.

    At least I know where you are coming from.

    I don't give a flying fadoo if it was a flag or a friggin "garden structure".

    I respect freedom of speech. But for some strange reason those using this argument think that the speaker is somehow protected from the consequences of that expression.

    I presume you are white. You have every right to walk into a bar full of latinos and claim they are all illegal murdering rapist scum invading your nation and stealing your jobs. Does the first amendment miraculously protect you from the consequences of exercising your right?

    The odds of being harmed by the couple dozen or so neo-Nazi's living in this country is virtually zero. The odds of being harmed by some Lefty wack job is far greater.

    As much as you hate Whites, maybe you should be on the list too.

    Roosevelt, my president until I was about 8 yrs old, had many more than that killed for his cause.

    FDR was no friend to Jews.

    My aim is to fix Democrats errors in judgement and facts.

    I love the liberty movement.

    The local neighbors are proud to digest males juices but I believe in their freedom.

    All whom conquer their neighbors believe they have a magic right to destroy their freedom.

    This sort of thing is best prevented via zoning and proper zoning enforcement.

    Why do you want control over your local neighbors? If you refuse to yank down a gay pride flag, how can you control others symbols?

    Good for him. He knows EXACTLY what he’s doing.

    But we as a society are heading in the wrong direction. We should be confronted with stuff like this, and learn to live with it.

    Good for him, he’ll make his neighbors better people.

    It takes no bravery to follow the mob in judging others. That’s all we do in the US now, it’s just which mob you relate too.

    Remember, it is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.

    I support his right to do this. Hopefully people will talk about it and learn to get over it.

    You reminded me of a black professional football player that took me into a black bar one evening telling me how he would protect me from blacks.

    At first I thought he was kidding me but he said he was quite serious.

    Democrats are truly authoritarians. This was not in the south, but at Oroville CA.

    Also, he then was about 23 and he told he was having sex with a child of 15.
