Bet it's still there when I go to the Commissary.

I wouldn’t.
I ordered a Confederate flag and I will fly it below Old Glory.
Been putting my flag stamps upside down for the past six years. My own little protest.
Exactly my feelings. The simple fact that the left loathes the Confederate flag is a fantastic reason to fly it.
It is a bit of in your face rebellion -- if every patriot would fly one on their private property the left would go even more insane.
All we need is a leader to ignite the spark to set off a rebellion and take the country back by force. The U.S. has the largest standing Army in the world and its not the U.S. Military, it’s us the millions of very well armed American citizens. The lefties know that and that is why they are trying so hard to take away our guns, and don’t kid yourself, that is exactly what they want. The only thing keeping them from taking away every right we have left are our guns. If they ever succeed in taking them from us it’s all over. I will die first, will you?
After a little research at the suggestion of yourself and others, based on descriptions, significance, and history (Washington’s cruiser flag), I’m opting to display An Appeal to Heaven Flag!
It definitely fulfills my needs, and says exactly what I want to say.
I think it’s perfect ~
When LBJ murdered JFK, it was time to fly the flag upside-down. Problem was, the people who knew—like RFK and Jackie—both had zipper problems, and feared Hoover and LBJ.
When Clinton and Hillary! were handing over missile and nuclear technology to the Red Chinese would have been a good time.
When the Saudis attacked the U.S. on 9/11, and Bush whisked a planeload of Saudis out of the country, without even an FBI interview, would have been a good time.
When Obama was elected through voter fraud, both times, would have been a good time. (If McCain or Romney had ever moved into the White House would have been a good time.)
From now until (IF) Obama leaves the White House is a good time to fly the flag upside-down. If anyone but Ted Cruz moves in will be a good time, since otherwise the borders will remain open, Islam will continue to control our government, etc.
It has been since the 08 election.
“Is it against the law now to burn a fag flag?”...
I’m starting a new business so bring them on, the will be no charge!

It might be, but that is completely irrelevant to flag etiquette. Refuse to display the flag if you choose, but if you are going to fly it, do so properly.
Think of flying the flag upside-down as the equivalent of calling 911. Would you call 911 because you’re upset with the political situation in this country? Let me know how that works out for you if you do.
I took mine down and have replaced it with my Christian flag. That is all I will fly from now on. This is not my country any longer. The courts, the so called leadership in Sodom on the Potomac is not my leaders any longer. Obama has never been my president. I will no longer vote for RINOcrat party members. I am done with them. For I am not a citizen of this world as my Bible tells me. I am a monarchist. My King is coming and He is not of this stinking world. Satan is the ruler of this world and has been since Adam fell. Christ purchased us back on the Cross, those that would Believe by Faith and Faith alone. Just Believe. I do. Thus He is my King. I look up each day because my redemption draws near. My King is coming and He ain’t of this stinking, rotten, sin filled world. Come LORD Jesus!!
No, Carl. You need to read up on flag etiquette. Once again, being uset, annoyed, angry, etc. is not the same as being in actual immediate physical danger.
Yes we are in distress and it is time to come to the aid to repel the invaders inside the walls.
I quit flying the American flag right side up a year after (gave him the benefit of the doubt)Obama was elected. That flag has long deteriorated and been properly destroyed.
NOW, we must remove the tyrants or Texas must Secede. Only two choices left
YES, agree! Ordering Christian flag next.
I vote for
The United States of America is dead to me. I will not fly the flag and I will not honor or acknowledge it any more until she repents.
I respect the past sacrifices, but it ends there. 4 July 1776 is an interesting date in history, much like 15 June 1215 for the Magna Carta or 2 March 1836 for Texas Independence, but I don’t celebrate them.
If I fly a flag, I will still fly a Texas flag, for now.
For the record, what is the origin of the red striped rattlesnake flag vs: the yellow coiled rattlesnake Gadsen flag
I support your sentiment but some how prefer the symbolism of the coiled rattlesnake to the laid out rattlesnake.
(we’re FReepers....... all things must be nitpicked before acceptance)
The red flag is the first navy jack.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Navy_Jack
I always liked it better than the yellow Gadsden Flag because of how it resembles the stars and stripes.
“All four of the American designed “Rattlesnake Flags” show a COILED Rattlesnake. The only other rattlesnake flag, called “The First Navy Jack”, was “designed by” the English artist Thomas Hart as background art.

“All four of the American designed “Rattlesnake Flags” show a COILED Rattlesnake. The only other rattlesnake flag, called “The First Navy Jack”, was “designed by” the English artist Thomas Hart as background art.
The traditional version of the First Navy Jack has an uncoiled rattlesnake and the same motto as the Gadsden flag, on a field of 13 horizontal red and white stripes. Flag experts (vexillologists) speculate that either the English Artist Thomas Hart either did not know about the practice of Rattlesnakes to coil in defense, or did, and intended to insult the fledgling American Navy as a weak and vulnerable creature as a rattlesnake is when not coiled and ready to strike, slithering on the ground, trying to escape, with its motto “(Please) Don’t Tread on Me!”. However, others suggest the snake pictured on the flag was being provoked, and is striking. Hence the warning, “Don’t tread on me (or I will strike)”.”.
No reason why a new flag with a coiled snake on the stripes couldn’t be made.
