Do you find it offensive when individuals fly the American flag upside down in political protest?

When you don't have the freedom to fly this great flag in front of your home (rented or owned) for fear of being sued for "offending" someone, this nation is in distress. There is so much wrong in this country now! Our constitution has no strength and our rights are being trampled. I'm not offended by people flying the flag upside down. I'm offended by the traitors who occupy our government.

A number of years ago I would have responded yes I would find it offensive. However, now it seems it's ok according to the SC to burn our flag so as far as I'm concerned people who are flying it upside down (in distress) have that right as well. Alot of these people are doing so because they see our great nation IS in distress and I find myself agreeing with them more and more. We seem to have lost our way, in my opinion. To try and be clear, it's not that I "like" it but I do understand the feeling and sentiment.

It means distress and who can argue?

yes! it's not a political protest. it's disrespect. sure our country is in need of changes but we are not in the need of flying our flag upside down. it's just as bad as someone burning it or throwing it on the ground and walking on it.

There's no form of flag-based protest that offends me, because it's just a piece of dyed cloth. It serves as a banner to identify Americans, but other than being our international name tape, I don't put any significance in it.

I would find that offensive, but there nothing we can do about it.

I'm more aggravated by businesses that use the flag as a form of attention getting advertisement to circumvent local sign zoning ordinances (think those massive flags in front of Perkins and lots of car dealerships) and then let the flags get dirty, torn and ragged.

I am offended cause civilians don't understand what we sacrifice to give them the rights they have to insult our country like they do

Who cares. It is their right to do so.

No, I respect the US Constitution First Amendment Freedom of Speech, for me to deny another American his/her First Amendment is to make me an entitled bastard.
