It seems as if the people already know what they are dealing with, just ignore the old fool.

Car dealer runs afoul of Fayetteville flag ordinance

Associated Press

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. - Officials in this military town near Fort Bragg are telling a car dealer to stop flying so many flags from the antennas of his cars and trucks.

Gary Brown shook his head at the letter from Fayetteville's City Council, which arrived this week.

"This is a military town," said Brown, who oversees sales at Powers-Swain Chevrolet on Bragg Boulevard. "If you don't fly (the flag) in this town, I don't know. ... It's just sad. Everybody ought to be flying the darned flag."

A year-old ordinance prohibits city businesses from flying more than five flags at a time.

Brown hung the paperback-sized flags around the time the war in Iraq started. He says he figured in a time of war, city officials would look the other way.

He took the flags down, though, after the city threatened a $100-a-day fine.

City Council spokesman Jason Brady said one flag is sufficient to show support for U.S. troops and that too many flags fluttering along Bragg Boulevard look bad.

"We have this reputation of being a gaudy kind of town," Brady said. "Let's just keep it in taste."
