I appreciate the sentiment, but I am afraid you are going to accidently insult veterans, etc.

I would think a Gadston Flag or the like could convey the same idea, but not run the risk of accidental insult.

It’s not only an insult it’stotally wrong! It’s what the DUmmies did after 2000 and 2004. Did anyone complain tben?

FWIW I did when I spotted a US flag upside down at a local KFC. The employees were laughing when I confronted them but not so much when I got the national HQ involved. There should be a FR thread about it but it has been a long time.

You DO NOT FLY THE US FLAG UPSIDE DOWN FOR EMOTIONAL ISSUES!

It is NOT A symbol. It is a means of communication of dire, life threating conditions. While the situation in DC is serious it does not meet the standard for an upside down flag! Are you going to fire up your amateur radio and start sending SOS?

To whom are you communicating?

Do not fly the US flag or fly a Gadsden or Sons of Liberty instead!

Do FReepers really want to lower themselves to the kind of symbolistic tactics of the left?

If so The Republic is truely lost!

I had mine upside down the day BO was elected and it stayed that way for several months.

The day SCOTUS ruled.. it went upside down at noon that day but only stayed that way for a few days.

Country’s in distress no doubt but I’ve got to much respect for the flag that represents the country I served for.. not what the country’s become.

I may retire Old Glory until real Americans can restore the country to what it was and fly the Gadsden Flag until then.
