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...
Amen!
ice=wife lol
The 13 star flag , with the flag of my state below (the state of confusion).

Betsy Ross (13 stars).
I wasn’t that fond of the Gasden flag until I found out that it drove liberals crazy. Now, I fly it all the time.
13 stars in a circle. I doubt I will ever hoist a 50 (57 for the clown) star flag again.
I hadn’t thought of the First flag, that is a great idea!
I thought about getting a 13 star flag. The current one leaves me hollow. Maybe one of the New England flags that were at Bunker hill.
Here, here!!! I will be teaching my grand babies on the beauty of such a high honor!
Fly it...and fly this quote under/next to it:
‘Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.’ - John Adams
Aye, matey- that's the spirit! hoist the colors!

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.

The 49 star flag, omitting the last sate Hi for obvious reasons!
Great idea—amen to that...
Like RJSimmon I fly Old Glory and the USMC colors, plus a Virginia flag on a yardarm visible from the road and the water. I have a Gadsden flag I fly on the boat Bay Lady.

Don’t fly any American flag if you live in an HOA community.”
We live in an HOA community. Everyone on our cul de sac flies American and Texas flags every day except for one family from Russia and one Asian family. Unfortunately they live on either side of me. They are also the only two families on our street who don’t have any decorations at Christmas time, although most of us have angels and manger scenes in our yard.
Our community is largely patriotic and religious and we make sure our HOA reflects this.
Fly both but make sure Old Glory is higher.
good link thanx
A few more ....these flags would be a good business idea, BTW:
“Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.” - Benjamin Franklin
The Fourth of July ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.
-John Adams
“The Scriptures tell us righteousness exalteth a Nation.”
- Abigail Adams
