Title: respect for the flag
Post by: Rockntractor on April 06, 2009, 09:13:59 PM
I recently left a forum. my avitar was an upside down flag after six months the chief of staff told me my avitar was offensive and i was showing dissrespect for the flag i tried to explain to him it was the sign of distress and that i felt our country was in grave distress. he openly rebuked me on the forum and deleted my entries when i tried to defend myself. was i wrong in displaying the flag upside down? or should i have just gotten along. here is a copy of the flag code.
THE FLAG CODE
Title 36, U.S.C., Chapter 10
As amended by P.L. 344, 94th Congress
Approved July 7, 1976

§ 176. Respect for flag: No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.
(a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

IMHO the moonbats at places like DU/Kos/HuffPo cheapened the meaning of flying the flag upside down by using that as an avitar at those websites for 8 years as a way to protest President Bush.

I like to think that Conservatives are smarter than teh DUmmies.

It's not meant as disrespect. Look around, we truly are a nation in distress. We have f'n Goofy running the White House.
