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.

Nope, can't help ya.

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.

I have not had the “Stars and Bars” up since January 20th. I now fly the Gadstone flag.

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.

No way. That flag flies proudly. I’m not about to fly it like some whiny little leftist, hoping Cuba will come “save” them.

This is really a horrible idea. Fly the gadsen if you must. Leftists do that desecration of the flag stuff, blah!

As someone who loves his country and its flag, someone who has served in it military defending that flag, I refuse to display my country’s flag in other than a respectful way.

I understand the symbolism inferred … but I refuse to use my country’s flag in an un-respectful way. My American flag will always wave in an upright and respectful way.

With all due respect,

If you’ve ever seen a folded flag up close and personal, you would agree - long may she wave.

Maybe you need to go join the liberal left for suggesting such a horrible Idea.

Fly Old Glory right side up above the Gadsden Flag above whatever military branch flag you served in/have family members in or otherwise support. But keep Old Glory right side up unless it’s a real distress call.

I can’t go there. I have three sons serving and two sons in harms way and can’t use our flag to protest. I’ve also attending far too many Military funerals the last 6 years and seen far too many troops off to mock our flag. There has to be a better way to show contempt for our current administration.

I don’t like that idea. There’s going to be a lot of tea parties on the Fourth; go to one of those to protest.

You mean well, I’m sure.....but that’s MY flag, and I won’t let radical leftists put me in the position of dishonoring it or my country....as far as I’m concerned, I have more right to fly it proudly than any Obamaniac.

Sorry, I can’t support this idea. The liberals hate that people fly flags, and would much rather us not display national pride, so I’ll proudly be displaying the flag this 4th.

Let’s all just hope Zero doesn’t decide to change our flag, that’s probably next.

I appreciate your desire to take action but I really don’t think I feel comfortable flying the flag upside down.

sorry.
