Bedford Flag, here...

U.S. flag down, Gadsden flag up. I will forever remember Patrick Gaspar, the smug little marxist puke, and what he said. Will it be his epitaph?
No you are wrong. Perhaps you should also take to the airwaves...if you are an amatuer radio operator... and start sending out SOS.
Flying the flag upside down is a signal of a dire, immediate and life threatening emergency.
No matter how you feel this does not meet that criteria.
Did you complain...as I did...when people flew the flag upside down after the 2004 election?
Bedford Flag, here...
Wake up man! This is as dire as it gets. A tyrant has seized control of the country and just exterminated most of your liberty.
Taee your flag down, fly a Gadsden of Sons of Liberty but don't fly a US flag upside down!
Grow up man.
I don’t think I’ll fly the flag for a while. It’s become a symbol of oppression.
I am stupid.
Please explain the Bedford Flag.
My Gadsen Flag is flying.
I went home at lunch and hoisted my Gadsden rattlesnake. The same one that went with me to D.C. in 2009 when a million and a half of us went to the capitol.
Thank You! You’re a patriot.
The american flag represents socialism, queers, freeloaders and illegal aliens. Never fly it or salute it myself.
Legend has it that it was carried by the Bedford, MA Minutemen at the North Bridge in Concord on 4/19/1775.
It's not purely an emotional reason. The Obamacare ruling is, essentially, saying that the government can tax you for not doing/buying something. There fore they could tax you for, say, not owning an aircraft carrier. IE there is no restraint upon government at all, nor is there any penalty upon those who transgress the laws -- ok, so that's selective, but that only leads to more unjust acts.
A tyrant!? Nay there are more than just one.
Someday though history will tell of a Dark Lord, and his robed Nine, and his Hundred Champions, and his 435 heroes...
In the land of Mordor, where the shadows lie.
Flying the flag upside down is a form of communication. Similar to the SOS signal I mentioned before or yelling fire in a crowded theater.
Flying it upside down for political reasons dilutes it’s significance.
It is WRONG!
Our country is lost. It has not died. It is not over.
I really want one of these beautiful flags. I fear I cannot fly my hoodie.
AN APPEAL TO HEAVEN! DON’T TREAD ON ME!
PATRIOTS! This theme music intro will get your blood up! It’s a mere 2.22 mins. long, but raises the hair. Grab your standard and turn UP the volume. ‘Tis a long road ahead!

That reminds me...I forgot to stop by the fabric store :-(
Agreed. Similar, but not the same.
Flying it upside down for political reasons dilutes it’s significance.
Here I disagree; it is not merely for political reasons. The pledge of allegiance explicitly states that the flag represents the Republic; the Republic is itself in dire distress as the mandate still exists and, in fact, now that it's a tax for something not bought there is little holding the Republic from becoming a dictatorship as more and more "items not used" become taxable: that is to say, the government may now tax even the things we choose not to support.
