Unfortunately, the US flag is associated with the US government. Some of the people that didn’t fly their flag over the last few years, that used to fly their flag before, may have wanted to fly the flag upside down if they flew it at all.

I put up Old Glory on the holidays of my choice, but on such as Labor Day the yellow Gadsden hits the pole.

Mine was flying yesterday. It flies only on certain days of the year now. It came down from it’s permanent position on 11/6/2012 about 2200 hrs Pacific Time.

I suspect that may have been my underlying motive, but I couldn’t bring myself to fly it upside-down. Perhaps I thought it was disrespectful (another conversation) but I probably thought it was better not to fly it.

I regret it.

As the song says, "The flag stands for what we once were, not what we've become." Then again, I understand those who can't bring themselves to fly our proud banner these days, what with homos in the military, women in combat arms, our veterans being neglected after having served to keep our scumbag "leaders" free, our Border Patrol agents being killed and their families still waiting for justice, etc.
