Illegal to fly American Flag?

California Balks at Public Display of American Flag
It’s an impermissible “public expression.”
11:00 AM, May 9, 2011 • By JEFFREY H. ANDERSON

In the small town of Orcutt, California, a private association has raised donations to erect a flagpole and monument between a highway exit and a park-and-ride lot, at the entrance to the community’s Old Town section. The pole would hang the American flag, encircled by five pillars, one each for the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and Coast Guard. The California Department of Transportation (CalTrans), however, has stymied the effort, calling it an impermissible act of “public expression.”

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

And people who live in California take this shit lying down.

For the record, my aunt and uncle live in Orcutt.  I ought to see how they're taking this.  If I know them, not very well.  Orcutt/Santa Maria is a pretty conservative area by CA standards.
