I no longer fly the USA flag, unless it is upside down, but instead fly the gadsden flag at my home.

Forget it, Jake, it’s NPR. In short, the Left has decided that it is the grand arbiter of symbology and you can’t have any it doesn’t like. And in defense of liberty and free speech they’re going to squelch it.

It’s almost like they’re trying to demonize every flag patriots use. Strange. Of course, everyone was on board with demonizing the Confederate flag, because that one deserved to be demonized.

I don’t believe “left handed” is commonly used in the way you used it here. As a member of the left handed-American community I’ve been triggered and I’ve arranged for your boss to fire you

NPR. Calling everything the democrats don’t like evil with the “some people say” lie and finding one stupid “Justice Professor” to explain why. Such a shame we all pay for that propaganda outlet.

1776-1876 Centennial = 81 Stars and 13 Stripes. !?!

No 48 Star !?

Current = 51 Stars and 13 Stripes. Wrong. Or are they counting the district of corruption ?

“The state can’t claim a lack of knowledge about what this image represents to most of the public ...”

“Most of the public”? Highly unlikely.

To me it says to each state “I want to run myself, not be run by the Federal government”.

Interesting

3 rows of 9 = 27
3 rows of 8 = 24

24+27=51

Even wikipedo says 50 stars and here's their pic

5 rows of 6 = 30
4 rows of 5 = 20

20+30=50

Found the image of multiple flags in a web search. Evidently it comes from here; https://www.legendsofamerica.com/united-states-flag/

They say - 50 star flag in current use - but whoever did the graphic might have gotten one over on them. I'm going to email them and let them know.

“Dukes of HAZARD Too???”

Oh yeah, that was the worst flag ever in the history of bad flags!

I like that flag but I prefer a similar image with the text, “Don’t Tread on Anyone”

“..So would they approve if it said “Please tread on me”?...”

Most likely.
However, they’d certainly support the Antifa banner given half a chance.
