I voted yes

I voted yes simply because any law or ordinance enacted and enforced on the citizens restricts our freedoms. We are no longer really a free country, we are only alowed as much freedom as our money can purchase in the form of taxes, fees or legal representation.

This is AMERICA

As long as they are AMERICAN FLAGS & BANNERS & even THE CONFEDERATE FLAG & All the NATIVE AMERICANS Have that privledge also. If you don't support American culture, then go back where you came from. That is politically correct.

Meaningless Question

Context is everything. What kind of flags and banners? Are Nazi flags OK? (I would hope not.) Is flying giant American flags over car lots really a proper and respectful use of a national banner? Certainly inoffensive banners and flags should be permitted but without some context or detail, the question is meaningless.

another ridulous poll question

pre engineered question with pre engineered answers(yes and no).You can never answer these polls truthfully.How about asking this poll question"Should the City of Suffolk and its representatives be personally Liable for the malfeasance of selective code enforcement and be forced to pay fines and penalties out of their own pockets?

I bet you would see this behavior change overnight.

Selective enforcement is illegal!

I hope that the Orrs teach the city a lesson! Amazing that agencies are this stupid!

What needs to be done is better enforcement

Without regulation, everything dives to the bottom. When people say there should be no regulation, think about the caos whne a traffic light is out.

Flags

Flags unlike cars do not kill when the traffic light is out. By the way how do you get away with the Anonymous BS when this is a verified site. It seems the rules are only for us suckers that follow them

If you notice

"Anonymous" appears when you are replying to a comment. I don't know why PilotOnline hasn't fixed this.

Virginia needs to start acting like it's part of a free country.

No offensive flags please!

As long as they are not offensive ie. Nazi or Confederate! Let "Old Glory Wave" anytime anywhere! "We the people" need to be proud!
