“Get your flag and fly it upside down starting NOW!”
I haven’t flown the American flag since the day O was elected, knowing I guess, that we were soon to be no more than the banana republic he aspires U.S. to be, but I admit to thinking earlier today exactly what you’ve suggested!
Submariner’s wife,
I don’t think FReepers are suggesting that we disrespect the American flag, but that we send a visual message that our nation is in DISTRESS because this administration has decided to ignore the will of almost 60% of the American people, and to seek for themselves, what is in their best interest rather than ours.
They do not plan to buy into the Health Care Plan that they have set forth for U.S.
This is a peaceful revolt, not against our flag, but against those who seek to destroy what it stands for.
“These people are just sick mfs. (excuse my french) I am really pissed.”
Lately my second language is FRench.
Therefor your opinions on him are based on...?
It seems like a LOT of conservatives have taken up French over the past couple of days!
I can read. Seeing his lies in print is quite sufficient. I need not watch him reading from a teleprompter to get the same information. (That is, of course, assuming that the teleprompter itself doesn't explode in response to Obama's oratory skills.)
The origins of this practice had nothing to do with revolution.
Burning the flag is also a "peaceful" sign of revolt
Placing our flag upside down has been bastardized by the left as they were protesting.
If you really want to stand up to those who have screwed this country over? FLY YOUR FLAG the intended way. They hate that patriotism stuff.
More often than not, the leftist (enemies) of America burn the flag out of a pure an unadulterated hatred for America, out of disrespect (and loathing) of those who fought and died to protect their freedoms, and ours, and in an attempt to insult, ridicule and infuriate patriots, and to ignite a riot, whenever possible. If they can get patriots to act “out of control” they’ve succeeded in their attempts to get media attention, and likely media support for their ignorance and arrogance.
Generally, their intent is not a “peaceful” revolt.
