So THIS is what the HOA was so amped up about -- to the tune of $8,000??? WTH -- is ISIS running it???
When I was a Realtor, I warned clients about HOAs. Glad I did.

The Stars and Stripes are at the center of controversy. At least at Larry Murphree’s home.
“I want it to go away. It’s such a minor little thing and they keep coming after me,” he explained.
“They” is Murphree’s homeowner’s association. He’s lived in the Sweetwater community for years, and been at odds with the HOA for more than two. All over a flag. The veteran decided to put one in his flower pot, and has been fined as a result.
“They just sent me a letter that says I owe them around $8,000 and they put a foreclosure lien on my house,” he continued. …

These HOA stooges are just future bureaucrats in training. I’d bet a fair amount of money that every one of the little fascists, in every HOA, are democrats.
A “flag in a flowerpot” is not allowed...??? Now that is ridiculous and I have owned 4 condos...little Nazi’s at work...we threw one of those off our Board once
I’d say you got that 100 percent correct.
Perhaps the HOA Board of Directors and their Lawyers need to be sued on a “personal” basis for continual harassment over an issue that Federal Law already has covered.
Federal law from 2005 also backs that up. We reached out to the law office that reprsents the HOA and got attorney Michelle Haines. She tells me if payment is not made within 30 days, the law office can move forward with foreclosure on Murphree's home.
Last year, after a similar fight, he filed a lawsuit and settled out of court, but the HOA flag display rules have been rewritten since then. Murphree said he won't stop until he can freely fly his flag.
Just another bunch of busy-bodies wishing to exert their perceived power over others, no matter what the law says.
Gotta be on to get them out, I guess.
actually the HOA can be liable directly for pushing this anti-us flag effort in the face of florida law.
(see FL’s second amendment law)

He should force them to jail him....
Force the HOA to arrest him...
The public pressure alone would cause the HOA to collapse...
That is if we actually had a decent media...
One wonders why veterans from every VFW and American Legion post from all over the state aren’t showing up outside the homes of the folks on “the Homeowners Association” to give them a little talking-to.

HOAs are nothing more than NAZI Education Training organisations for control freaks..
If at all possible to avoid it... never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, EVER buy a home in which an HOA has such administrative powers.
They are nothing but trouble.
Politics start locally....
Sounds to me like the veteran has cause for a nice juicy lawsuit.
I read that as “We threw one off the building once” and stood up to cheer. I need coffee ;’)
Perhaps they are going after him based on the "respectful manner" clause.
