Remember, Remember...... Reply #2 – November 05, 2008, 12:17:48 PM This is the only statement I'll make:§ 176. Respect for flag: No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America; the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.(a) The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.

Remember, Remember...... Reply #3 – November 05, 2008, 12:23:31 PM LOL yea you could make the argument anyway! haha That is correct though, someone was talking about it on another board, most don't know about it, I didn't, sounds like a serviceman/woman would recognize it instantly. Quote Selected
Remember, Remember...... Reply #4 – November 05, 2008, 12:48:00 PM Well, that's how I feel, and my avatar is going to stay that way for quite some time I have a feeling....Everyone should know the Flag code... Its important in my eyes. Quote Selected
Remember, Remember...... Reply #5 – November 05, 2008, 01:03:02 PM I can finally display my flag now after having to withdraw it for 8 years. Oh, and many on the other side were threatened with their life for displaying their flag upside-down during the previous 8 year nightmare. So, you are neither creative nor unique in your display, you are simply acting as the opposition - not a true sign of distress (as I would never have flown my flag upside-down). Quote Selected

Withdrawing your flag for 8 years only to re-deploy it now.....You should display that flag regardless. As a veteran, I'm dismayed by that statement.ENOUGH! BOTH OF YOU.As I said this was not an anti-Obama post. Read deeper and maybe you'll see it.... Quote Selected
Remember, Remember...... Reply #7 – November 05, 2008, 01:25:13 PM Actually, the only time I heard of people's lives being threatened for displaying the flag as I have is when it just happened to be flown under a Mexican flag on United States Soil. As a Vet, I can understand why that would piss people off. I was Pissed myself.So what if I'm not "creative" or "Unique" in your eyes. The Flag code was made Law on December 22 1942, so I'm sure I'm not the first person ever to fly our Flag according to it, nor would I be the first one to quote the Code itself.So..... your point?I believe that with the way this country is right now (the recent elections are a very very small part of it) we ARE in great danger.... to Life and Property. :) Quote Selected
Remember, Remember...... Reply #8 – November 05, 2008, 01:28:25 PM LOL My post was not anti-Obama either. I will give him his fair shot at the whole Presidency. If he does good, I will praise him. And regardless, I'm not worried about him. Its everybody else, and the stupid people I know to be in this world. God help us if something happens to him. BTW Paul, V was an AWESOME Movie.And Ironically enough, I'll be at a bonfire tonight LOL Quote Selected
Remember, Remember...... Reply #9 – November 05, 2008, 01:38:45 PM I'm neither gloating nor being demeaning. Simply pointing out the obvious - I've seen the threats and this is hypocritical, no matter how y'all try to spin it. I'm out of here - this is not a discussion I want to have and the viewpoints of all involved here are already known and I don't need the bitterness at this time. See ya! Quote Selected
Remember, Remember...... Reply #10 – November 05, 2008, 01:41:04 PM I'm aggravated as well. Birdman following the flag code, though it is possibly just his belief that this is a time of dire distress, is not disrespectful to the flag itself or our nation. Refusing to fly the flag just because you don't like the administration is absolutely silly. Patriotic != agreeing with the leadership. I still feel very proud to live here, even though I have little if any confidence in our next president and disagree with him fundamentally. I too will give him his try and hope he proves my fears wrong. That would be nothing short of awesome. But..America "love it or leave it" and I still do love it, why shouldn't I just because my guy didnt get the vote! Regardless of what DOES happen, I will remain as patriotic as I have ever been, because of the basic foundational freedoms and opportunitis we have and will likely still have because no president can just flip a swtich and take those all away at will. In my eyes, its the people of this nation that make it what it is, and whoever is in the oval office cant switch that on or off either. Quote Selected
