...but there's nothing the town could do to force him to take the flag down.

Yes there is. According to The United States Code, Title 36 Chapter 10:

§176. Respect for flag No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.

• (a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

If there is no emergency, or instances of extreme danger to life or property, the authorities have the power to make him display it properly.

"If there is no emergency, or instances of extreme danger to life or property, the authorities have the power to make him display it properly."

To the fatalistic liberal losing to Bush is an extreme danger to life and property. Just another example of how liberals turn common sense on it's ear.

The US Flag Code is enacted as law, but is a guideline with no enforceability.
