HOW 'Free' are we in this country? Man faces jail for flying flag....

[easyt65]

Do you know the government can dictate how long you can fly a flag on your own property? Does that sound like you are truly 'free' in this country? Doesn't that sound like a little bit too much government control?

Remember your answer

Does it make a difference now that the flag the man facing a $2,000 fine or jail has been flying is a Donald Trump "Make America Great Again" flag?

SHOULD it matter, on your own property? If your 1st reaction above was one of frustration and thinking this was / is a little too much government control. Now.... 'Funny' how much difference partisanship makes....

No one is totally free, crying about that is like crying about the existence of the sun

Local laws. Dude should abide or move.

Local laws. Dude should abide or move.

But do you agree that even the local government should have the authority to dictate what flag you can fly or for how long on your own property? How much is 'too far'? Seriously wondering, no 'attack'...

 

[SwimExpert]

Nothing about this makes sense. There needs to be more information.

P.S. According to the video this isn't about flags, it's about political signage.

Its not about flying certain flags. The article stated local laws say that you cant publically display political themes within a certain amount of time away from elections.
Maybe those locals are political crazies IDK. It could be needless, IDK. But it is still law. Like some state has it to where people cant put ice cream cones in their back pocket on Sundays.. Maybe its in the water?

The government doesn't decide. That's a fallacy. The people decide. If they don't like it, all they have to do is petition their representatives or replace them.

NJ towns have LOTS OF STRANGE TOWN ORDINANCES. amazingly idiotic and mostly not even enforceable. ------like-----sex between married couples
must be ONLY in missionary position----(I am not kiddin'....). --------blue laws----
(that which cannot be sold on sunday-------milk yes------but not beer) ------grocery stores would adapt by CLOSING whole aisles-----or simply closing. -----there were more-------and neighbors would not hesitate to CALL THE COPS. I was once attacked by THREE SQUAD CARS for sitting on the swings in the child playground
-----one block from my house------on a warm june evening with a friend------parks
closed in that little Nazi town at "sundown" (the three squad cars was the WHOLE TOWN POLICE FORCE-------I hope no one else was engaged in crime at that moment and no cat had gotten stuck up a tree<<<< for that the fire department
responded anyway

they like that kind of crap in New Jersey-----it gives the town OLD WOMEN reason to CALL THE COPS

LOL, that's a cute fantasy and makes for nice bumper stickers but actual results disagree with your assertions. You might want to check out the underlying statistics regarding the power of incumbency and do a little bit of checking at incidents of the individual getting crushed beneath the heel of government with no reasonable remuneration to be had.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but "We The People" aren't in charge anymore; welcome to the oligarchy, enjoy your stay and keep off the fucking grass.

Maybe something with a Homeowners' Association? I lived in one where they dictated what colors you could paint your house, you couldn't have boats in the driveway, cars couldn't be parked at the curb, etc.

"we the people" are a lot MORE in charge ----than "we the people" ever were in
history----------there are lots of very REACTIONARY people amongst "we the people"

When local laws say no abortion, no homosexual weddings, how come you people don't say: "should abide or move"? Cherry picking and inconsistencies is a trademark of the Left.

That's why we need public financing of elections. The present system ensures the oligarchy will thrive into the foreseeable future.

Sure, that's why "we the people" are experiencing so much broad based increases in incomes, expansion of personal liberty and peace at home an abroad 'cause WE'RE IN CHARGE dammit!

Meanwhile back on Earth... incomes continue to stagnate, public debt continues to skyrocket, wealth disparity continues to accelerate, individual liberty continues to erode, civil unrest continues to flourish and oh, yeah much of the globe is bathed in blood.
