Well, well, it's nice to see that somebody thinks we should have as much right to DISPLAY AND HONOR the Flag, as we do to DESECRATE it.

I personally find restrictions on flying Old Glory just as disgusting and wrong as burning the Flag. Different, but no less distasteful. One ought to be able to fly the Flag on one's own property any way one pleases. (Hopefully, in a proud and respectful manner, of course.)

I suppose I'd draw the line at placing the Flag over one's windshield while driving, but only for the sakes of safety, and of respect to the Flag.

Every 4th of July I suspend a 5' x 9' American Flag on the edge of our lake, and it is backlit with two 250 watt flood lights. We gett a lot of cheers from the passing boats.

Our homeowner's association has strict rules about these matters, but we have not had any pushback. Now, with the passage of this bill, I am considering puting up a 30' aluminum flagpole and fly Old Glory full time.
