I stopped flying the flag today

[Liberal_Andy]

I've flown the US flag every sunny day (I'm on my third one)since 9/11. I just can't do it anymore. Maybe on 7/4. We'll see.

1. Fly the flag, for God's sake...

But fly it upside-down as an international signal of distress.

[LibInternationalist]

2. absolutely

[Warpy]

3. Upside down was my idea, too

It's OUR flag, too, something the right has completely forgotten.

13. Absolutely!

The flag and what it stands for haven't changed, even if some are trying to steal it and redefine it.

Up-side down!!!

19. they're the ones perverting it

They don't respect notions like equality, freedom of thought, freedom of expression, separation of church and state. They're the anti-Americans.

When you 'destroy' a flag or say you don't want to be American, you are acting out their caricature of you.

They are the ones who hate this country.

4. I thought of that,..

rescue squad would probably bust down my door.

23. I have an upside down flag as my desktop picture now.

We haven't flown our flag since * invaded Iraq. Won't fly it until * is out of office.

6. We did that in the 60's quite a bit. I had a huge upside down flag in my

bedroom window for years.

[Tempest]

12. Mine's been flying upside down for four years

Looks like it's going to be upside down for another four years.

My neighbors hate it, but they don't dare say a word to me.

I'm too big and surly to mess with.

5. Mine's at half-mast. National grief, you know. eom

[npincus]

7. upside-down was my thought, too.

[LTRS]

8. I actually took mine down and threw it out

9. I flew my flag for 20 years every day

But I decided to take it down the day we invaded Iraq and definiatly will not fly it again while bush is ruining our country.

The guy that lives next door noticed I stopped flying mine because he installed a flag poll in his front yard..

10. I think I'm going to get a UN flag, or just one of those globe flags.

I'm too ashamed of this country to fly a US flag right now.

[RubyDuby in GA]

11. I'm going to go buy one tonight

so I can fly it upside down.
And it will remain that way for 4 years.

[Astrochimp]

16. Half mast is better-

We need to wrap our-selfs in the flag, and treat it with 'some' respect.

17. do what you gotta do

[bicentennial_baby]

14. My mom took hers down yesterday morning

[manic expression]

15. I've stopped standing for the pledge

for a long time. It's my daily protest against the horrible wrongs committed, and an act of defiance against this country.

touching forum...
Many know exactly how you feel. Add your name! Once you get the tears wiped away!

20. hoist that rag

[landdaddy]

21. I was flying

an upside down flag for the last 3 years but it's gone now. I'm gettin' a new one. Lot of people have asked about it being upside down and had no clue what it meant.
