Don’t have one, I’m sure the same amount of the left has a statue of Lenin in their homes.

What’s the issue?

From the link:

“ A Virginia county planning commission will vote Wednesday on restrictions that would ban residents from flying American flags larger than six feet by four feet and from displaying more than two flags.”

The restrictions pertain to size and number.

Nothing about which flag one can fly.

Same deal with thousands of HOAs all across the country.

If you look over Kristina'sCap's past posts, she is very often not serious in what she writes. She "baited" me into replying many times before I realized that. (I admit I am often gullible.) She often writes outrageous things in order to make a point, I think.

(Kristina, please correct me if I am mistaken about any of that.)

Why not?

Thousands of localities have regulations regarding size, number, etc.

For example, in Colorado:

“ The association may adopt reasonable rules regarding the placement and manner of display of the American flag.  The association rules may regulate the location and size of flags and flagpoles, but shall not prohibit the installation of a flag or flagpole.”

Or maybe Michelle Obama would like to read us a Dr. Seuss book? Always knew the Obamas were racist.

There’s a Lenin statue out in Seattle that was erected and cared for while statues of our founding fathers are torn down. We are not that far off from it. Just be patient.

This seems like a slam dunk for a naughty naughty from the SCOTUS.

How so?

Again, the proposal would only regulate size and number as is already the case in many locales all over the country.

The Virginia planning commission, as I understand it, is basing their decision on the fact that the courts have ruled that flags are a free speech issue. So by limiting the size wouldn't that be the same as limiting speech? I haven't finished my coffee so I could be wrong.
