What flag will you fly on July 4th? ~ Vanity

Posted on 07/02/2014 10:11:49 AM PDT by GraceG

This year I am so tempted to fly the Yellow, Green and Black Rattlesnake Flag instead of the Red White and Blue, or at the very least fly both and put the Rattle Snake below Old Glory. But I am still trying to decide on it....

In some ways I feel like raising the Red White and Blue is akin to pretending that nothing is wrong in this country and there are a lot of things that are going wrong right now. In some ways it makes me feel like I am surrending to the normalcy bias.

I could always fly the UN Flag I got in order to find out who in my neighbor hood I can trust should SHTF, since the anyone who comes over on the 4th and yells at me I can trust and those who complement me on it I can put on my do not ever trust again list.

(side point: I bought the UN Flag for the very useful purpose of either defacing it or using it for strategic purposes should SHTF and the UN is involved).

I really do want to raise Old Glory again this year, but I get more sad and upset every single year that passes...

Don’t fly any American flag if you live in an HOA community. You’ll either be fined or evicted.

13 stars in a circle. I doubt I will ever hoist a 50 (57 for the clown) star flag again.

Don’t be discouraged from flying the Stars and Stripes. It is the flag that fills us with patriots pride and I’ll be damned if I would let our current situation stop me.

I’ll still fly the American flag. It doesn’t represent the scumball leftists and communist politicians but the true patriots who founded, defended and for those who gave their service and for those who gave their lives defending this unique Republic founded under God.

You can hang the American Flag on top but upside down. This is telling all who see that America is distressed, then hang your Gadsden flag under the American flag. God Bless Our Troops and God Bless America

My ice had bunting in the garage (like during the world series) We run those across our balcony railing on several holidays. I like the effect.
