Sic Transit Old Glory

It would seem Old Glory is outdated.  The town of West New York is considering an ordinance that could ban the American flag from being flown, MyFoxNY reports. The proposed ordinance is set to be voted on next month.  

So much for waving “o’er the land of the free.”

What do you expect? They're in New Jersey and the town is called West New York. Their heads weren't screwed on right to begin with.

On the positive side, doesn't this suggest some pro-secessionist possibilities?

Perhaps it is time for a new national anthem to acknowledge the descent into Octobama Nation. Singing "land of the free" no longer seems appropriate in a dependent society that values political spoils from a corrupt government over personal freedom.

Will their local post office will fly the USA flag?

And, C Bowen, above, has a thought: Are they seceding from the USA?

This is another example of media created hysteria. The ordinance was intended to, and the city has made clear that it will only apply to, commercial "flags, banners, and signage".
