Did you even bother to read what I was responding to? You're schtick is wearing thin friend.

It's all in how they treat, display, store and dispose of the.flag, even how they fold it. It's all outlined in the Flag Code and if you don't know or follow it it's obvious and you have no rightful claim to call yourself a patriot.

I just literally said they could. Maybe read it again and see if you can pick out the differences.

Some people are down right fanatical over it.

Yup. I've also said for I don't know how many elections now it would be suitable to display it upside given the distress of consistently getting stuck with massively unpopular candidates who are far from the best we could actually offer and not the friendliest towards democracy and American ideals and values.
I did read it more than once. It seems to me to be implying that large numbers of Americans with other cultural heritage are now more proud of the latter than the former. Setting aside that this would be their prerogative anyway, is there evidence that this is a widespread phenomenon among that subset of Americans?

They are. But at least it gives up something to spot fake patriots even if they're on the opposite coast.
My favorites are those who get plates, cups and napkins with the flag. Don't you dare step on it, burn it, or let it touch the ground but it's just right and perfect for eating off of and wiping your mouth with.

I think its disrespectful. Same as burning a pride flag.
Burning either ****s on everyone it represents.

I’m opposed to burning babies.
If your identity is that bound up with a flag I think that in itself is problematic. Your identity doesn't cease nor is it harmed by flag burning.

I don't condone people wearing it or burning it.
I also don't see our screwed politics as a reason for flying it upside down. We they people are responsible for our screwed up politics by electing **** heads into office.

Interestingly enough, I have no problems with the burning of holy books or other religious symbols.
So long as you are not breaking any laws with the burning,, LIGHT IT UP!

I've wondered if that might be more.common for those of us in places like America or Australia where so very many of us just don't have a very long history here. Some go back a few centuries or more, but some only go back a few generations or less. I wonder if that shortened "history of me here" might drive that identifying as american-ancestral land.

A symbol isn't an identity but can be used to represent an identity.

And it's my perogetive to ridicule them for it. If you decide to come here there isn't any legitimate reason to thing we should acquiesce your culture.
The southern border and the demands of immigrants isn the only example I need.

That's just it. We have this you do that, we will do this mentality. That **** gets old.
Sure, but it can be destroyed, whether deliberately or accidentally. I think it's too much to be offended over flag destruction. There are many other flags. If it were a national monument, that would be different.
