...support monuments for men who took up arms against the United States, committed treason, and burnt or disaccredited the American flag?

(24,259 posts)I see with flag swimwear on their private parts & ass, flag bumper stickers covered in mud, muck and manure, flag doormats to wipe their feet on, etc I'd say they're more concerned about restricting free speech for others not true respect for our flag or the real patriots that defended it against traitors and enemies from within and without.

Every Fourth of July all across the country, people show their love for America by displaying flags along streets, hanging them from porches, and proudly carrying them in the town parade. Old Glory is everywhere. But did you know there are official rules on properly displaying the U.S. flag? This guide from USAGov, based on the Federal Flag Code, can help you show respect for the flag as you celebrate this Fourth of July:
When: You can display the flag outside from sunrise to sunset. If you want to fly it after dark, it will need to be lit. Dont fly the flag during inclement weather, unless its an all-weather flag.
On the porch: The union of the flag--the blue section with white stars--should be placed at the peak of the staff unless the flag is at half-staff. When the flag is suspended from a rope on a pole extending from a house, the flag should be hoisted out, union first, from the building.
On the wall or the window: When the flag is displayed on a flat surface like a wall, the union should be at the top left.
On the street: The flag should be suspended vertically with the union to the north in an east and west street or to the east in a north and south street. The flag should never touch anything beneath it, so make sure its hoisted at the proper height.
At the office: Suspend the flag vertically with the union to the observers left upon entering. If the building has more than one main entrance, the flag should be suspended vertically near the center of the corridor or lobby with the union to the north when entrances are to the east and west, or to the east when entrances are to the north and south. If there are entrances in more than two directions, the union should be to the east.
On a vehicle: The staff should be fixed firmly on the right side of the vehicle. Do not drape the flag over the hood, top, sides, or back of a vehicle or a boat.
