I'm with ya all the way!

Ok to burn but not ok to display?


Very good point!

Great tagline, I'll have to remember that one.

See above post from me please.

I've seen that on a bumper sticker ;) cute

Thanks for the tip.

One minute...we are holding hands and singing "God bless America" in this country...especially after a tragedy (sad to say). The next, I hear of stuff like this...flags being ordered down. Some people need to get a grip!

Good luck to them if they attempt this.  I had a liberal neighbor mention my flag to me last year, we don't talk anymore.  I guess he didn't like me questioning his patriotism ... and manhood.

"They say that this is not about flags but about signs that a permit fee was not paid on."

Soooo.... The city won't let the store owner display the US flag because she didn't pay fees for some other signs?

Or... The city now considers the US flag a sign and you have to pay a fee to display it? Either way this doesn't sound right to me...

O.K. just got off the phone with the business manager at Peacock Home Collection.

This is about the flags. The line I was given by the mayors office is BS to cover their a$$. the "permit" deal was about streamers hanging outside SIX MONTHS AGO and according to the Manager they were taken down the next day.

The city is currently harassing the business about the display of the U.S. Flag.

The Liberty Council is the organization fighting the city to keep the flags up!

Send a letter to Disney telling them that you won't be taking any trips to Orlando if this is how they behave down there. I'm sure Disney will gently straighten them out if they think it's going to risk their profits.

[FeeinTennessee]

I don't go there anyway...but that's not a bad idea.

She needs to call Jeb.

Hold it right there, this has nothing to do with Disney. No need to bring them into this. Disney proudly displays the American flag down here. In fact Disney does not even sit in the Orlando city limits.

Thanks for the update... Sad to think this kind of crap goes on in our own country. Geez....

I'm sure the Orlando Regional Chamber of Commerce ( http://www.orlando.org/ ) would love to hear from those who might be persuaded to forgo any future vacation or business trips to Orlando until this little misunderstanding is straightened out. ;-)

This ordinance has got to suck for all the used car dealers in Orlando. Unless they are exempt.

[longtermmemmory]

The state of FL passed a law which prevents condos and homeowner associations from preventing US flag displays.

I bet there are similar rules regarding any display.

This is stupid.

Interesting that this woould happen in one of the red areas of FL.

As a native of Orlando (moved away 15 years ago, although to a really red area of FL), I have seen Orlando become more and more homocentric and thus more blue. It's not the Orlando that I knew and grew up in.
