All:
This has probably been mentioned elsewhere, but I think it would be appropriate for all Patriots to fly the flag upside down, this July 4th. As you problably know, doing this signifies distress, and if there ever was a time when Our Country was ever truly in distress, this is it.
I’d consider it, but the flag rightside up is a hate symbol to democrats anyway so it would seem just as effective.
Fly the Gadsden Flag. That’s all I’ve flown since Jan.20.
I shed my blood in a foreign country in defense of that flag.
I love it too much to use it as a tool of protest.
That's the kind of crap that liberal fools have done and I refuse to be a part of it.
I'll fly it and I'll fly it proudly, but not upside down.
No offense intended.
Yeah, I’m not so sure I want to fly our flag upside down. This (and perhaps other alternatives) seems better to me.
I agree.
However, the way things are going, the time may come...
Amen brother, and thank you for your service.
I have not had the “Stars and Bars” up since January 20th. I now fly the Gadstone flag.
Thank you.
BUMP! to that, OldSmaj.
Isn’t the point to save our United States? I’m pretty proud of her - unlike the Obamas.
I’ll fly two flags - our flag of the U.S. and Gadsden.
I fly the Gadsden and also the US Civilian flag.
Excuse the spelling...Gadsden.
Another vote for the Gadsden Flag.
There are a lot of people flying them. I’m very uncomfortable flying the US flag upside down. It just seems too disrespectful.
No way. That flag flies proudly. I’m not about to fly it like some whiny little leftist, hoping Cuba will come “save” them.
Fly it that way when there is a real emergency. You may still have to fly it upside down in the future.
No.
I am sure all those troops who died fighting for that flag really appreciate what you are doing.
Amen brother...
Fly a different flag in protest...there are many to choice from but let’s not soil Old Glory...she has been tarnished enough already.
Time for us to fly her proudly and restore our country to the great land of liberty and law.
The next great civil war will be fought to abolish political correctness...
