Wow. Apparently, the HOA gets to determine your allegiance, secondary to the US flag.
I guess that if you're a Canadian living in Florida, you can't display both a US and a Canadian flag then.
Or anything else. I guess that a Harley Davidson flag would be straight out.
What's sorely needed is a serious Legal Sissy Slapping of the HOAs.
While I do hear that some of them are accomdating of Ham radio, let alone freedoms of speech and expression, PREEMPTION by Law will put the Chill in a lot of HOA Busybodies, let alone their Lackey counterparts who lurk on eham and other sites when an unsuspecting. New Victim of the HOAs need what they think think is a bit of "HOA Education", and they are met by HOA Lackey Lurker Types, before said HOA Lackies begin crying "waaa waaa I'm a victim myself!" and getting the post(s) shut down, whenThe Opposition gets heavy, and nonsense is called out for the nonsense it is.
Always, the HOA Lackey Types will cry Foul. Always. Always!
Perhaps it is something in their character that draws them to HOA oppression as a "Comfortable" thing in the first place. Different concepts seem to make them uncomfortable. Uniformity to the point of Concrete thinking seems to carry their day, with an obsession with supression of all other outside the box thinking.
Always playing in the background is a belief that if we don't sit in our chairs and behave and remind The Teacher that she forgot to assign weekend homework like they do, we are bad children. Remember THAT KID in your class when YOU were a kid? No Doubt, an HOA Lackie in the making, or already formed even then.
Sprinkle a bit of Sixth Grade Malignant Narcissism (and Seventh Grade Bullying) on top, and there's your HOA Lackie type.
"It's STILL UNHELPFUL TO TELL PEOPLE TO AVOID HOAS AND SUCH..."
And that's just how it is.
