Quote HistoryQuoted: According to the U.S. Flag Code, flying the American flag shouldn't be flown upside down — with the stars at the bottom — "except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property." Sounds familiar to me... YMMV. |

I've been flying the Texas flag and the Confederate navy jack since Biden has been president.
I retired my old glory for now. |

No. It's an international distress signal. I'm thankful I never needed to run one up the rigging upside down. Also thankful I never had to test the freshness of the crackers in the life raft.

Quote HistoryQuoted: If someone doesn't want to fly the American flag because they are butthurt they lost an election, hey man it's a free country. Fly it or don't fly it. Flying the American Flag upside down - that IS disrespecting it (unless you are actually far out at sea without power and sinking quickly risking loss of lives). It's absolutely nothing but a whiny bitch move - but better for everyone else that such so called "patriots" self identify to others around them as morons. What's next? Them proudly burning the American flag as a "protest" if they lose again in 2024? I don't like F'ing Joe Biden or the Democrats, but I do Love America and I know that we can weather this.

It was a serious question to the two members that stopped flying the Flag. Not sure what your angle is or if its some edgy humor.

Does that warrant more smart ass shit from you? @Idaholandho Funny that "American Patriots" who screamed & raged about people "disrespect'n America" by kneeling for the National anthem are now showing they are "Real Patriots" by ... ... disrespecting the American flag. I Love My Country - Everything - be it Right or Wrong. I don't ignore the "problems" but instead I work to fix the "problems" & know America is still far better place than anywhere else. Being a Real Patriot means sticking it out in the tough times until Victory finally comes to those who sacrificed & worked for it.

Quote HistoryQuoted: You don't have to be proud of your government, to be proud of your country. Exactly. And I do believe we are getting to the point where flying "stars down" is appropriate. Old Pedo Joe, and the rest of the DemonRats, are destroying the country. And the former is bound and determined to get us into a fighting war with Russia. Cluster bombs recently - and soon to be F-16s. We are purposely poking the bear if you ask me. |

My Stars and Stripes was actually flown over an airbase in AFG. I started flying it inverted after we cut and run from there. Lately I just usually fly my Gadsden or my college team flag (go Bobcats!). I do however have a black flag with a yellow alligator and the words "fuck around and find out" on it. I've assured the spouse that I'm saving that one for when the pmag covers are close to being removed.

The flag of these United States isn't an instrument to express your displeasure or anger. It's to be flown with pride and respect…..or not flown at all. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Upside down is a distress signal. If I see it that way, I'm calling 911 and they can talk to the police about their "emergency". If it's a real emergency, it's good somebody called. If it's because your feelz was hurt (your party lost an election, criminals you like were arrested, somebody you don't know doesn't want to screw you because they don't like your body parts, etc.), get used to having the conversation until you stop crying wolf and disrespecting the flag over your snowflakeness. Is this the boomer version of swatting? |

I noticed one of my neighbors who flies both the American flag and the Gadsen, has flipped theirs upside-down for this reason. We are experiencing exactly this due to our county and state weaponizing the perpetual "state of emergency" to destroy residential neighborhoods in unincorporated areas. I've elaborated elsewhere. Oregonians may have seen us on the news a few times. Good reminder though, I need to put up a flag. I don't think I'd fly it upside down, but I get exactly why he does. |
