The upside down flag is meant as an insult to the flag and then these nimrods have the audacity to complain that their flags were stolen!

They fly the flag upside down to insult that which is symbolizes, the nation.

Why is the US Flag diplayed Upside Down?



The upside down U.S. flag is an official signal of distress. It is not meant to be, and is not officially recognized as any type of disrespect when so displayed for the right reasons. To the contrary, here is the relevant part of the US Code of Laws regarding how to fly the flag when in distress:
THE FLAG CODE
Title 36, U.S.C., Chapter 10
As amended by P.L. 344, 94th Congress
Approved July 7, 1976



That the fact that the left even touches the flag is irratating to me. I do question their patriotism!

I love the fact that the left is in a totally out of control tailspin, thrills me. Damn commies should have had the u.n. flag there for the DNC, it is, who they bow to.
