I hear that Blackwater will be starting a new class specifically for HOA POS presidents. It will combine two intensive, combat specific mission requirements: How to dial 911 for help while having your a** kicked by an irate retired Marine. Apparently the class will take approximately three weeks. One week will be the training, two weeks for recovery after the test.

The best part is that it will be free for the POS's in question. All costs are being paid for by the Association of Retired Marines, with one caveat: they get to administer the final exam.

Yep, they'd have to kick my ass before I removed them. I would dare anyone to tow my vehicle. They let the cars with Obama Stickers get away with it, but the Marine has to take his decals off. No way, Bub. Sounds to me like some lib or anti-war protester is complaining. The Home Owners Assn would literally have to kick my ass to do it.

I had the unfortunate experience of moving into a town-home community a few years back that had a HOA. In South Florida, we call the members "condo commandos," and they think that they are empowered to rule their little feifdom with an iron fist. I wasn't even allowed to fly an American flag from my balcony. I got into it with them so many times that I started to attend all of their meeting and attempted to run for a vacant board seat, which really pissed them off. I had a shed on my patio that one member could barely see from the road, and I was told to remove it. I found 3 board members who had sheds bigger than mine and stated that I would remove mine when theirs went away. I installed a new expensive front door on my townhouse and was told that it didn't conform to the "standards." I found several other board members with doors more lavish than mine - they dropped the request.

I will never again live in ANY community that has a HOA. Athough I don't like neighbors who do auto repair in their driveway, maintain a junkyard in front of their house, or paint their home panther-piss green, I will find a decent neighborhood to live in and live peacefully doing my own thing, and asking to be left alone.

This Marine should start by going through his neighborhood and listing ANYONE who has a bumper sticker on their vehicle. I'll lay you odds that at least one of the board members will be on that list. Go from there. I'm real good at choking people with their own rules. He should do the same.

Just from reading all of this, seems to me that the Pres. of the condo's basically has a problem with this Marine. To remove sticker/s from a vehicle termed advertisments? You got to be kidding. There are advertisments on everthing on that property from little stickers to signs and to ask/have someone told they have to remove their sticker from a car needs their head checked, or better yet removed from the board! I suppose you cannot even fly the American flag either? Leave the sticker/s on and tell the Pres. to go &&*k himself! I know I would.
The Dumbing of America, perfect example.
