“The city of New Rochelle, New York owns an empty building. It has been empty for years. Why does it own an empty building? Why doesn’t it sell it? No one seems to know. No one asks. It used to be owned by the U.S. Army, but the Army wisely abandoned it. A veterans group decided to hoist the famous Gadsden flag: a coiled snake and ‘Don’t Tread on Me.’ Now the city council has removed the flag. Why? Because it is supposedly a Tea Party symbol. The Tea Party wants tax cuts. It wants wasteful government cut back. This would mean wasteful empty buildings. The symbolism was too much for the city council.”
