This house still does. We wear the T-shirts, too. And talk about such things in the grocery lines. The young people around the counters listen intently. They’re making up their minds without saying a word, but they’re listening.

Here in Texas, I still a lot of flags flying. The problem is that far too many of them are the Mexican tri-color.

The troops are in danger and the burning won’t put them in any more danger. It will just give the slime an excuse. All the libs are so upset about this and so concerned about the troops, however, there wasn’t any outrage when military secrets were published on the internet. I think that action may have put troops in danger as well.

We fly our flag every single day. Our neighborhood is pretty good about flying them on holidays, at least. Probably about 10% fly them every day.

One year I gave US Flags as gifts for Christmas, housewarmings, weddings, etc. If you have close friends or relatives who do not have US Flags, it is a good idea for a gift to get one and a pole/bracket mounting.

So I am putting before this august body of FRiends - will you post the colors this Sunday? If not, what is the reason for not collectively showing our solidarity against terrorism? (and please don't say "Obama" as the flags went missing long before that POS became president).

Obama.

My flag flew until October 29, 2009, when the first Obamacare bill (an unsuccessful attempt) was introduced.

On March 30, 2010, when the final version became "law", I ordered a replacement flag-- the Gadsden. It will fly at least until the end of the ObamaNation (Jan 20, 2013 at the earliest).

On Monday, our line broke on our flagpole when we were raising the flags and of course, there was no place open to buy new line because of the holiday and even if they were open, it was 20 miles away. My daughter said we could wait, I raised hell until it was mended (had a hip replacement recently, couldn’t do it myself). Although I reluctantly took down the Texas flag temporarily to lighten the load on the line, I will always fly my American flag proudly.

We fly ours day and night. We have a light on it. We have lots of items in our house indicating we are Americans and proud of it. We also have our crucifixes that have been with us for years and years so mostly, when someone enters our home the first thing they see is a crucifix on our wall and an American Flag lovingly placed on a shelf.

People get very lazy and take for granted what they have. They had better wake up and if this latest incident with this whole book burning and mosque nonsense doesn’t wake them up...something will and it won’t be pretty.

9-11 coming Saturday. We will NEVER Forget!!!!

Until the pResident of the White House is removed, I will only fly the Sons of Liberty Flag and the Gadsden Flag.

Old Glory is safe and secure behind the front door, ready to fly again when Obama has been regulated to the dustbin of history.

My husband is a Navy vet, and ours waves prominently on the front of our house. On our drives throughout this part of our state, we’ve noticed an increase in flags, whether it be on a modest mobile home or a mansion. Something is stirring in the air, and it’s more than flags.

Still flying here in NC, My Flag on top and the USMC Flag right below and this will go on until MY Flag covers me.

I think it’s a good idea to fly *both* the US flag and the Gadsden flag.

The message it gives is both “I love my country”, and “The government is not the country”.

Importantly, I put it this way, because it is inaccurate to say that the Gadsden flag represents the message that “But I don’t trust my government”. Certainly the government needs to be restored to order, but this should be done with the spirit of returning them to constitutional order—not revolution.

But restoring the government to order means first, that we must all realize that the government is *not* the country. We, the People, are the country. And because We choose for the government to run part of it, it does *not* mean that they are in charge.

They work for us, and they are supposed to follow the instructions written down in the constitution. And though they have “gotten too big for their britches”, we just need to get them back on track to doing what they are supposed to do.

This isn’t revolutionary. It is just reminding them who is boss.

So U.S. flag and Gadsden flag. Together again.

Except for memorial day I have stopped. I will put it out Sat. If I had a flag pole it would be flown upside down until this disaster is resolved.

I might add, in my neck of the woods (mid MO), I’m seeing more and more Rebel Flags; on cars, trucks and on flag poles.
