Yeah. Wow! I am going to assume that post was a really good attempt at sarcasm.
Hyperbole. I went back and looked for the part that said that they banned the flags. Wasn't there!
Even the original poster embellished:

Clearwater, Florida (where else would such lunacy happen) has taken down all the flags and even removed the flagpoles to save some money.
If you read the article, this is quite far from the truth. It seems to me like the parks department removed a lot of extraneous flags. They only removed flags from the venues controlled by the parks department and they did not remove them all.
Of course it's much easier to go into a fit of righteous indignation if you just make $h!t up!
