How long do we fly our flags at half mask?
In memory of the nine firemen that died in the fire in Charleston SC, we were asked to fly our flags at half mask. My question is how long do we fly our flags at half mask?
In the State of California is it legal to fly my Confederate Flag outside my house?
I am Proud of my Southern Heritage and Choose to fly this flag
and if this flag offends you,you need a history lesson
In the Union Flag…?
Not the Union Jack btw, it’s that if flown from a ship’s Jack flag pole.
Anyway, why is St. Patrick’s Cross (which now represents the Ulster Banner I suppose) off axis?
Most probably don’t know this, but it is entirely possible to fly the Flag the wrong way up. Find one now and look at it. Notice how the red strips of St. Patrick’s Cross are not perfectly in the middle of the white strips? The top right one should always be closer to the top.
Why is this? Why isn’t the Cross normal? If you removed St. Andrews and George’s Crosses and replaced the blue background with a white one it would look like a very crooked St. Patrick’s Cross.
So why? Why isn’t it St. Patrick’s Cross in the Union Flag as it is on it’s own?
Black people of Mississippi: Do you fly your state flag even though it's also a confederate flag?
Mississippi is the only state that kept their confederate flag on their state flag
do you not care that it is there?
just wondering
i know most people from the south(like myself) tend to not be on this site, but just asking anyway
thanks
LOL @ Insane
Well i’m from TX and i see people fly it all the time, TX probably the most
but come to think of it most places i’ve seen proudly flying state flags are southern states
Digga
i blocked you because you are an uncle tom, and i’ve noticed they are the main ones reporting me. That is why. Obviously i’ve seen answers or questions you’ve had to make me come to that conclusion
Atheists, America is about 80 to 90 percent Christian ? And still somehow we have the freedom to be atheists ?
We can still go outside with ‘I love atheism’ t-shirts’ without getting beheaded for it. America is still secular enough for us to not be in hiding. Am I missing something or doesn’t this speak highly of Christians ? If you replace the 80-90 percent chunk of America with, one by one, all the other religions of the Earth, will you get the same result ? So grab a beer and a porkchop, wear some clothes with the playboy logo, fly the American flag and stop giving the Xtians so much shit.
Should state flags fly above the federal flag?
According to U.S. Historical Documents and the U.S. Constitution the states are sovereign. If that is the case then, except on federal property, I believe that the State flag should fly above the federal flag on flag poles. This is the way I display them at my home. As a military veteran I took an oath to support the constitution-and that includes the 10th amendment and so I fly the flag of my state ABOVE the american federal government’s flag on my flagpole.
If you think the answer is no-please elaborate as to WHY it shouldn’t be done. and dont’ just say "it’s disrespectful" But elaborate how-I mean, I think it’s disrespectful to put my state’s flag beneath the federal one.
I’m adding this after reading some of the answers: Are you aware that the U.S. Flag code allows for the Christian Flag to be flown above the U.S. Flag on U.S. Navy Vessels? Also, just because there are federal regs about something doesn’t make it right. and finally it is NOT the "national" flag, it is the flag of the Federal level of Government and YES there is a BIG difference. And for those of you who think your country and your government are the same thing I guess I can see where you’re coming from.
my response to yahoo profile called "European". Yes, I know how federal regulations say to treat the Federal flag. I believe those federal regulations to be wrong and unconstitutional just like I believe that the gun-grabbing feds are wrong and unconstitutional and the abortion-funding feds are wrong and unconstitutional.
Texas Flag vs. Any Other State Flag?
In a card game a friend came out of no where and said Texas was a better state b/c they could fly their flag at the same height as the American Flag. I have read about it on numerous websites and I am finding 2 different answers on every website. Some are saying no its not true, that any state flag can be at the same height as long as its not to the right and others are saying that it can beat the same level because it was the only state to be its own country, (which I don’t believe is true) Can someone help me settle this??
Illegal Immigrants. Do you agree with me?
Immigrants have recently protested. Refusing to do their jobs,and refusing to buy anything American. They were waving the flags of their home countries. Some had their flags above the American flag. Some were legal American citizens,they stated that their intent was to hurt the American economy to show how important they are.
I’m pretty sure that being in America,waving another nations flag,waving that flag ABOVE the American flag,and attempting to damage the American economy is treason! Am I right?
Or at least it should be!
I believe the punishment for treason is life imprisonment.
But, this is America. Instead of doing the right thing and punishing these people,or at least deporting them(that would be too much work)
We’ll probably do the easy thing(what we always do), and just say it’s OK and make them all legal.
I love America. But the fact that this has been alowed to go on this long sometimes makes me not so proud to be an American.
Alot of people seem to pick out the comment about the flag.
Let me clarify:
I meant that they were showing alligiance to another country by waving those flags.
I’m not certain,but I do believe it is illegal to fly another nations flag ABOVE the American Flag.
And they were’nt merely talking. They were refusing to do their jobs,and refusing to buy anything American in an effort to hurt the American economy to prove a point.
Do you have a daschund puppy you need to sell or give away?
I’m looking for a female, dark red, smooth haired, daschund.
I don’t think I care much if it’s a standard or miniature.
I’m looking for a puppy preferably. I may be willing to take a slightly older dog though. It depends.
I live in Phoenix, Az. I don’t want to have to pay to fly the dog to get it. That costs too much. I wouldn’t mind driving within a 100 mile radius or so. (Tucson/Flag)
These are pics I found that look close to what I’m looking for.

Please stop suggesting petfinder.com.
I’ve already looked on there. I’ve even contacted people with dogs on that site. They don’t take their ads down. Dog ads on there can be old. Trust me. I’ve looked.
Any animal outside of Az is a really far drive. It costs 0-0 to fly an animal. That’s on top of how much the dog is already.
Thanks so far to glamourl0ve for the list of shelters, the breeder, and the breeders site.
And to PaulaDoxieMom for the info on back problems. I’ll look into that.
IF YOU DO THEN PLEASE MESSAGE ME
Conservatives: will you sacrifice your principles and put the party first this election?
John McCain is pro gun control, pro illegal alien amnesty, started campaign finance reform, voted twice against tax cuts, wants to shut down Guantanimo and end enhanced interrogations, and is a Global Warming issue beater…Oh yeah, he refuses to drill in ANWR, but chooses to buy oil from Arab countries instead. He spoke out against the South’s right to fly the Confederate flag in 2000, then changed his mind when he saw it would lose him the state to George Bush.
However, he is the Republican nominee.
Will you grant him amnesty for the times he turned his back on you in the past?
Ohh I almost forgot, he left the mother of his children in 1980 for Cindy, whom he met in 1979 at a Navy function. She is 18 years younger then him. Does that go hand in hand with conservative family values?
