Communists running Wrentham, Mass., public housing were struck a blow Thursday when the state overruled a decision to ban the U.S. flag.
Residents of Garden Lane Apartments were told they got a little too patriotic July 4th and a letter taped to each door July 11 told them the U.S. flag could only be displayed indoors.
The Wrentham Times has a series of articles explaining the series of events.
State Rep. Dan Winslow began looking into it and called Gov. Deval Patrick, who quickly moved to strike down the ban.
“We were not aware of this decision when it was made, and it was a mistake that is being corrected immediately,” the governor said.
Wilson was a little more fired up.
“I am outraged that tax dollars are paying the salary of state employees who do not instantly recognize the idiocy of such a decision. They should be invited to find jobs in the private sector and unemployed veterans hired in their place,” he said.
Good idea, but I bet dollars to almost free doughnuts that that won’t happen.

Jesus Christ crushes perverted NWO, DBMs

Let me share a story with you before I retire for the evening. I remember a person who had no respect for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Didn’t want to hear anything anyone had to say about God… One day his brother received a call from Grady Hospital and the caller said that a driver t-boned his younger brother at an intersection. And if he survived, he most likely would be paralyzed.
To make a long story short, he survived the accident and was transferred to the Shepherd Center. He was in bad shape y’all. Paralyzed from the neck down, he was in pain and had to shift his weight in the wheelchair every hour or so. He had a tracheotomy and had to be suctioned often. The man was left speechless.
After several weeks in rehab, he reached out to me for prayer. Without hesitation, I immediately journeyed toward the Shepherd Center. Little did I know it would be the only time serving as a man of God Almighty that a condition sickened me.
When we entered his room, I struggled to hold back tears because my spirit was deeply troubled. On second thought, It wasn’t because of his condition per se, but it was how defiant, mean, stiff-neck, manipulative, and independent he had been prior to the accident. And now seemingly within a twinkling of an eye, he had become dependent on strangers to service his most personal, intimate needs.
Look people, if you wake up someday and find yourself in a totally helpless condition, we hope you have not carried yourself in such a way that you find yourself distant from the only one capable of giving you hope, peace, and comfort i.e. the God of the Bible.
Amen?
