Flying the flag of the United States and/or the flag of your state at half mast and/or upside down is an infantile form of protest regardless or your political persuasion. I will not insult this nation by using it's most important and beloved symbol as a form of petty political protest.
Fly it high and free. (Regardless of who is President.)

I do not ask that others fly their flag upside down as an insult to this nation, nor do I believe that the article is insinuating such an act. Rather, the purpose of flying one flag upside down is to open the eyes of those who do not realize the gravity of the situation we are in.
Do you not agree that we are now occupied by a regime that is bent on destroying the very fabric of this Republic?
No sir, I do not disrespect this nation nor it's flag of which I and my ancestors have proudly fought and offered our lives for. My grandfather by the way died for the honor to fight against such fascist dictators as Obama desires to be.
If we do not stand up against those who would destroy us from within by protesting in any fashion we see fit, then we do not deserve the right to fly the flag.
No sir, I will do not insult those who will not fly their flag at half mast as you would those who do.
So please, THOSE OF YOU WHO WILL NOT, do not insult those of us who would.
