More examples of our loss of freedom of political speech.

In many places flying the American flag is deemed to be ‘offensive’ to the illegal Mexican population and city councils have done the same thing this one has done in fining individuals into oblivion and compliance.

We are at the time where the attitude of Americans has to be “Come and take it”.

And then do what must be done.

So is anyplace flying a homo flag? Not a peep about that I’d bet.

Get one for every window, door, a pole outside, your house and your vehicle.

He needs to sue the city for millions

[SandRat]

The City council needs to learn the U.S. flag’s history and linage.

A high power attny needs to come forward and help this guy...

I can two responses:

1. I would EVERYTHING to communicate in the papers, the blogs, calling the radio stations, etc., to get these fools out of office, within the realm of a voter.

2. I would endorse the ‘house-moving’ tactics employed by our Colonial ancestors, in the populace-decided relocation of “The FORMER Royal Governor of New Jersey”, who by chance, happened to be the bastard son of THE Benjamin Franklin.

He should put up a Culpepper Minutemen flag that Patrick Henry used for his Via. Regiment of the Continental Army or a Navy Jack that we fly on ships in combat theaters. That would satisfy their demand for the removal of the Gadsden flag while giving them the middle finger. If they pass an ordinance against those, start legal action.

Might be time to fight for the flag.

“City of Ocala, Florida” . . . “Section 110-3 of the Code of Ordinances, City of Ocala, Florida, is hereby amended” . . . “Sec. 110-6. - Exemptions.”
“The following signs are exempt from the permit, area and location requirements of this chapter, but must still meet applicable construction standards and obtain electrical permits if required by the city’s building code” . . .

“(7) Governmental or religious flags or insignia and holiday decorations incidental to the business and customarily associated with any national, religious or local holiday.”

____________________________________________________________

The Gadsden flag is a historical American flag, which makes it arguably a “governmental flag”. It is certainly an insignia decoration customarily associated with the national holiday, Independence Day (4th of July for liberals who only think of it as a picnic day), and thus exempt from the ordinance in question. That’s if they care about the rule of law, which is a rare concern among petty bureaucrats.

Hmmmm, what if the Tea Party folks displayed the 48 star flag? Would they still be considered racists and terrorists? From what I can see, most of the tea Party spokesmen are black conservatives who are well educated too. There lies the real problem with the left, blacks are seeing the light.

These are the people who actually support ISIS.

On May 22, 2002, the Secretary of Navy ordered all ships to display the First Navy Jack during the War on Terrorism.

Gadsden Flag

Call it a “Political Statement, and then sue for violation of his first amendment rights.

ALL political speech is protected speech.

[muir_redwoods]

He should call the ACLU. Tell them he plans to burn the flag on Samhain

Ocala is where one of my fellow overpass patriots was arrested earlier this year by a Florida State Trooper for waving flags and signs on an overpass with several others. He was arrested when he politely questioned the reason for his arrest. The audio was all caught on a phone. He was doing nothing illegal, but would probably still be in jail except for the proof of the audio. A wise rare judge threw out all four charges. At the time it surprised me, since I never had impression that Ocala was lib city. Obviously, someone or some group in position of power there does not like our Constitution or the American way.
