Do you mean, like those signs on the cart windshields? Tacky!

Funny, after I posted that reply I realized I vote “against” a candidate if I see their sign in the yard of an unpleasant neighbor.

I could not have stated it better. I have often wondered if anyone who posts political opinion on Facebook or TOTV really believe that they are changing anyone's political preferences.

I can't cite a rule but I did email "community standards" for clarification about a year ago (seems like 10 years) when I first saw two HUGE political flags flying on 2 poles attached to someone's garage and they stated they do not have any control over FLAGS flying on a pole on one's garage or on a flag pole which really made little sense as they have "control" over everything else you do to your property. I believe I posted that email response in a thread back then.


This was the thread with the "official" email answer from C.S.: https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo...thread-295257/

The (photo-shopped to avoid politics) photo of the flag is linked in that thread.

So feel free to fly anything you want attached to your home or your flagpole but don't, I repeat DON'T put a flamingo on your front lawn! :D :D

yes I do object......…...……………..

Great, now I have to start looking for a pink flamingo flag

I can see it now! "FREE THE FLAMINGO" flags flying all over T.V. That'll show 'em! :1rotfl:

I like it that political signage doesn't seem to show up all over TV....I've seen one political flag on a flag pole under the Stars and Stripes

that's nothing that I'm going to get excited over

Only one ???? You obviously aren't getting around too much or not looking around very much. :D Look along O'Dell and in homes backed up to the MMP along Morse. Walk or drive into some of the streets off O'Dell as well. We walk through those areas every morning and there are quite a few more than 1. Most are not along with American flags and many off garages like this one. These are huge banner type flags guessing at least 4x6 feet because they almost touch the ground. There are barely and "signs" (vs. flags) if that is what you are referring to because they are not permitted while flags are.

Many neighborhoods in the Villages have restrictions regulating signs. I don't believe that any have specific flag regulations. Florida has a flag statute that limits flag restrictions and allows any property to hoist an American Flag, MIA KIA or Sate of Florida Flag. NO other flags are protected under this statute. What is a sign ? IMHO since only certain pendants are protected under the Florida statutes any other signs, no matter the material from which they are fabricated or from what mounting device the are "flown" could be reasonably considered subject to the sign rules of a neighborhood . Lets have some civil discourse on this subject- but in case not , Im wearing my Kevlar.

All US Military branch of service flags are allowed to be flown also....

correct!!

Just wanted to give a heads up because you left US Military branch of service flags out from your post of flags allowed...

good catch

And apparantly every college, university, football or baseball team flags :)
