Nowhere in the article can I find where Blanchard indicates what he would like to see congress do to "work together". Does he want the Dems or the Reps to "work with the people"? Does he want them to compromise?
Interesting thing is that the people who are protesting his flying of the flag upside down only argue that "it's a disgrace to the country" and that its "just not right". Neither of which are a valid argument.

While flying a flag upside down isn't against the law, some people say it's not OK.
Yet when it was being burned just a few years ago, that was perfectly acceptable.

Every American knows that. The low-info have no idea what is happening to this country.

There is a house about 5 miles from here which has been flying an old Soviet flag in the front yard since the day Obama was first elected.

Ouch! And right next door to me in la raza country, all I see are flags of Mexico.
Stevens Point is really rather tiny, surprised this made the news at all.

How would that be for a movement if patriots started flying our flags upside down?
Now that would send a message the MSM could not ignore. Especially if there is a Tea Party rally in Washington and a million flags were flown that way.

Yeah, that didn’t bother them so much. Also, if he’d just set it on fire, he’d have thousands of supporters from the Detroit area.

Neither of which are a valid argument. No they are not . . . the valid argument is that displaying the U.S. flag upside-down is improper according to the Flag Code unless there is "...dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property."
The last time I pointed it out, the semantics cops tried to swarm me, but I fought them off. Fact of the matter is, one shouldn't choose which portions of the Code to follow, or not. It should be all or nothing.

This morning my wife suggested that we put all American flag postal stamps upside down.

I did that during Clinton’s time in the White House and I’ve been doing it since January 20, 2009.

If the article is silent, you can bet the man is conservative. If he were openly bashing Republicans, the article would quote him.

Wow. Please take a picture and post!

There is a far leftist on my road who displays upside down hand flags in her flower pots. That takes real determination because you have to remove them from their sticks an stapele them back on upside down. Communist pig!
