...Flying his flag upside down...
********
Good for him. Perhaps we need a National USA Distress Day to protest the Stolen Election!
If it’s offensive to his neighborhood, I guess we know how his neighborhood voted.

I live in Beavercreek and heard about this. God bless him for being so concerned and expressing the distress we all feel. My wife’s boss (at a local Air Force base) said he was so upset he wanted to stay home the day after the election.
My best friend has had an upside down flag as his facebook picture for a couple months now and gets nasty comments.
Took him THIS long to do that? My neighbor (a Vietnam Vet) has been flying his upside down in his front yard for 4 YEARS.
Yesterday I took all 4 of my flags down, placed them in a paper bag, and will bury them on my mountain land when I get up there this weekend.
Call me UNAMERICAN all you want, but those flag no longer stand for anything. Just a dream of our forefathers bought at the cost of their blood. That dream in me died Tuesday, November 6th, 2012.

We were told we were not supposed to be offended when people burn the flag.
Flying it upside down seems like a reasonable way to protest your country turning upside down.
Folks this is wrong. It’s been explained several times before. An upside down flag is a signal, not a protest and using it as such weakens it’s effectiveness as a signal.
When GW Bush was elected the crew at my local KFC decided to fly their flag upside down as a protest. When I confronted them they claimed they didn’t know how to fix it and laughed. I contacted the company and the laughing stopped after the regional rep made a visit.
If you think flying it upside down now is a good way to protest then, it was perfectly fine for that crew to do it as well.
If you don’t understand that picture this. When a republican is elected democrats will fly their flags inverted. When a democrat is elected republicans will fly their flag inverted.
And then the use as a signal is compromised.
It’s a stupid idea.
A lot of folks will disagree with me, but as a former Navy vet I haven’t hung my flag since Bam took power. My refusal was based on his Marxist/socialist proclivities which have been the enemy of this great nation for decades. I was hoping to purchase two new flags on Wednesday to celebrate a rebirth of this nation. Hopefully the day will come when I will be proud to display the flag. Unfortunaely the flag represents a US socialist regime.
MOVE.
I’ve had a flag in my office window and on my desk ever since 9-11-2001. I’ve taken both down. I believe in the American ideal. I do not believe in the America that showed itself on Tuesday.
It signifies that I will not give up.
Where is that “freedom of expression” that the ungodly harp on when they want to desecrate Christian symbols and make fun of Jesus in movies and TV? “Freedom for me, but not for thee” is their motto.
