No, cranc-it means the "false patriots"-place way too much importance on a symbol. Was his treatment of the flag putting the country in jeopardy? No?
OK, was anyone physically threatened by his treatment of the Flag? No?

They should save their "Worship" for Church Services.

I know it's legit in cases of extreme distress, but I just don't like seeing our flag hung upside down.

Just do not like it.

America = A giant fat pig in a tutu.

But if he was flying a Mexican flag they would have changed the parade route to go right in front of his building, and granted him his liquor license.

1. 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.

the question is: is his property in extreme danger or distress?

Yes, it is common for protesters to display the flag upside down to symbolize that they believe the nation is in extreme danger as a result of what they are protesting.

The actions here seem to be more to suppress his right to protest rather than to enforce a mostly unknown flag law.

I should read more before commenting. This invalidates my #8

He said his distress is likely bankruptcy because the village board refused to grant him a liquor license after he spent nearly $200,000 to buy and remodel a downtown building for an Italian supper club.

This is just the actions of a drama queen seeking attention. Well, he got it.

as people are allowed to burn and stomp on the american flag in protests - it seems only fair this guy should be able to fly his flag upside down. freedom of expression i believe the flag burners use - he should try that one.

it is far too early in the day to be making no sense at all. see my #10.

Some people refer to it as the First Amendment, Nance, but that was written before the flag became a fetish.

The "flag laws" are mostly silly and selectively enforced. It is illegal, for example, to wear clothing made of a flag, yet many "patriotic" Country and Western stars usually break that law to show national pride.

This guy is a commie. we know because the ACLU is on his side.

obviously it is when a man is trespassed on by policemen who are supposed to enforce the law, who then steal his private property based on the recommendation of a DA who is supposed to adjudicate the law.

where are all the flag burning lovers?

i don't agree with burning the flag. but, this soldier didn't do that. flying a flag, any nation's flag, upside down expresses the same notion: nation in distress. check the numbers. i have to agree with him.

the question is: is his property in extreme danger or distress?

That doesn't matter. What he's doing is a violation of flag etiquette, but what his city did is a violation of the Constitution. He has the legal right to fly the flag upside down as a form of protest against the government.

"KANREI".....During the Viet Nam War, hippie type protesters were thrown in Jail for using the FLAG, as clothing everything from BANDANNAS,SHIRTS, EVEN TROUSERS all to many times D.A. through out the Country abused their power to put these people in Jail. Today every useless PATRIOTIC, Country singer wears a piece of clothing to prove that they are more American than the rest of us....Another example of the LAW used by the powers that be to suppress those that they disagree......

Any of you ever been to Marinette? I have, trust me, flying distress signal there is not a bad idea. A very depressed area in economic terms.

That's what I was gonna say Rogers but I'll add it was childish to fly the flag like that given his gripe.

Seriously, who cares?

The flag stands for freedom and anyone who says different should be thrown in jail.

Good thing he didn't drape it over a chair or the shit would hit the fan.

It is known as a distress symbol so the ADA may have been within his rights to take it down. I would never fly a flag upside down unless I really needed help.

These folks need mediation--quick!

Give the guy a beer and wine license for his restaurant to start.

Then he has to fly the flag correctly.

Goatman, of course I was being sarcastic.

No. If I was a victim of a home invasion or something I might fly the flag upside down at the window in hopes somebody who was in the military would know something was wrong.

I may agree people have the right to desecrate the flag but it does not mean I won't kick your ass for it.

Goatman, of course I was being sarcastic.

I'm glad to hear that. It's good to find those occasional things we agree on. I don't get all worked up over a piece of red, white, and blue cloth either. Burn it, fly it upside down, wipe your ass with it -- I don't care. But I do defend to the death what it stands for.

"I may agree people have the right to desecrate the flag but it does not mean I won't kick your ass for it."

So much for a "right".

Legally protected free speech, like it or not. DA should resign, police should be fired. Won't happen as the incestuous relationship between DA, police, and judges in small towns/counties pretty much result in kangaroo courts.
The real question is why would someone invest 200K in a supper club before securing the liquor license if the future of the business depends on the license.

"Give the guy a beer and wine license for his restaurant to start.

Then he has to fly the flag correctly."

Why?
Flags are nineteenth century nonsense.
Meaningless pieces of cloth that represent countries that send young people to fight wars while "masters of the universe" are ripping off their parents.
When we started fighting wars for oil "old glory" ceased being so important to me. I have to admit, there are times I am a little ashamed of "old glory." Romantic stories about times that never happened make Americans almost believe that God blessed our nation and our flag. Read the real history of this country and you will realize God had nothing to do with it. God might have actually been angry about some of the stuff that we have done while waving that flag.

Sorry you hate America Danni.

It must be miserable to be you.

at the 4th of july in my town, there was a group of Vietnamese Americans marching.

they kept them far down the line from the bikers

Want makes this country great is every 4 years we can change this countries direction and we can dissent every day if we choose.

We also live in a country where the odds are in your favor to be moderately successful. If you work hard learn a skill and avoid drugs and alcohol abuse you will most likely be somewhat successful. Maybe not rich but comfortably middle class.

Danni's comment is one of the sickest and most disgusting I have ever read at this site, and that is saying something.

"Here is the School of the Americas. It's a combat school. Most of the courses revolve around what they call "counter-insurgency warfare." Who are the "insurgents?" We have to ask that question. They are the poor. They are the people in Latin America who call for reform. They are the landless peasants who are hungry. They are health care workers, human rights advocates, labor organizers. They become the insurgents. They are seen as "the enemy." They are those who become the targets of those who learn their lessons at the School of the Americas." - Father Roy Bourgeois:

If you care more about how that flag is flying than you do the civil rights of the American citizen flying it, you are no patriot. You are a knee-jerk, emotional buttinsky whom our laws are set up to defend us against. Mob mentality that says "He's different! He must not be an America!" is put in check by civilized society.

I am very proud of our flag. It represents our country, our diversity, what this land was founded on....not desions made by some of our elected leaders.

There is a huge difference..

I must posit that it is more miserable to be Murphy's husband, especially now since we no longer port ships in the Phillipines.

I dont know sometimes I feel ashamed when I see our flag

Gregory, flying that flag upside down was meant to signal distress. He wasn't under any Distress. He could have wrote a billboard saying America sucks and that would have been acceptable. If everybody flies the flag upside down when they are upset it loses its intended meaning. When somebody really needs help it will be ignored.

George Washington did not fight for a flag; he fought for an idea. A flag is a flag is a flag. I swear, some people, if given the choice of seeing flags flying everywhere or Constitutional liberties, would pick the flags.

"I dont know sometimes I feel ashamed when I see our flag"

The shame of that picture is that those men didn't need to die in a war that we should never have fought. Their sacrifice is real but the symbol of the flag, doesn't in any way, justify it.
Perhaps that is why the Bush administration would not have allowed that picture to be taken or published.

I'm ashamed of those who put our fellow Americans in harms way,,,NOT our country's flag, Truth!

"I swear, some people, if given the choice of seeing flags flying everywhere or Constitutional liberties, would pick the flags."

Exactly.

Thank God the military and most of America think different about the flag. This is from your State BTW...

as in I see these flag draped coffins and feel shame at the war of agression fought in our name.

Jackass: yes, he could have chosen another form but it's his right to do as he pleases with his property. His freedom of expression is protected under the First Amendment. Who are you to dictate how he expresses himself? Just because you don't like it or find it offensive does not give you any authority to force him to take it down. If there's a law for misleading the authorities by faking an urgent call for help, THEN it can be enforced. Until then, it is a freedom of expression issue.

Hi Crispee!!!

I'm not ashamed of my counrty in any way, not even now.

The people who spit on the ideal of our flag, have no idea what it represents or what America stands for.

For them, the USA is just another piece of land.

Hey Bella! Come esti? How is married life treating you?

I'm not looking at it being offensive. I learned in the Military that a flag should only be flown upside down in times of distress. He wasn't under any threat so he shouldn't be flying it upside down. To me I don't find it offensive I just think it should not be done unless you are in need of help.

Oops...sorry Truth. Thanks for correcting me.

Good and glad to hear it. Nice to see you chime in once in a while.

Looks like Lincoln disagrees with danni as well.

It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom --

A flag waves in front of the Tomb of the Unknowns also known as the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier for the "Flag's In" ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, Va. May 25, 2006.

If your idea of the United State of America is locked up in a flag, you are in sad shape. If you are more outraged by how the flag is treated than making sure our government is always held accountable (one "...of the people, by the people, for the people..."), you cherish a symbol more than the idea that that symbol represents. Kinda like saying "I love the stop sign! It is a symbol of authority!" as you whiz right on through the intersection... without stopping.

BTW: I was a Boy Scout and learned proper flag etiquette.

Last time I checked, the republicans had not yet made flag etiquette into law. In this country people can do whatever they want with the flag and that's exactly how it should be.

Ah, the "Patriots" come out, wrapping themselves in the flag crying out against the injustice of legally protesting (no matter how over the top and silly).

The nerve of an American actually making use of the First Amendment.

Everyone knows the Constitution is only important when it's convenient and comfortable.

I am curious if danni would do away with all military medals, awards, ceremonies... Afterall they represent all that was bad before and today in America.

The shame of that picture is that those men didn't need to die in a war that we should never have fought. Their sacrifice is real but the symbol of the flag, doesn't in any way, justify it.

Q: Is it legal to fly the flag upside down?

The Flag Code states, "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." It is an unreasonable stretch to argue that the political purposes constitute "dire distress." Clearly this was intended as a call for immediate emergency assistance. We recommend that people who wish to express their political views find a way to do so that is respectful of the flag. Remember that to some the flag represents the government of the US and its policies; but it also represents the sacrifices made in all generations to protect our freedoms. It represents the promise of the Declaration. It represents our freedom of speech and our freedom to practice or not practice religion as we choose. It represents one nation in its strength and glory. It represents faith in a better future. We recommend that you show your respect for the country and for the flag and make your political views known in other ways. It is not illegal, it is disrespectful to the memory of those who gave their lives protecting your freedom to protest.

Baloney. Coming from the era of Vietnam many of us are unwilling to spout the unthinking uber-nationalistic baloney of the flag waving fools who think it is unpatriotic to see your own country in realistic terms. Sorry if it doesn't sound the way you think a citizen ought to sound but since the day I saw students shot dead at Kent State, since I saw the pictures of little girls on fire from napalm, since I heard of our CIA assasinating Allende and many, many other episodes I lost my ability to pretend that America is always the land of the free and the home of the brave. It just isn't. Hey, I wish it was but it just isn't.

Are you really that clueless about history?

A flag is hardly an invention of the 19th century.

Flags are far, far more than a piece of cloth. Perhaps you may not be aware, but pick any flag, do a bit a research, and you will discover that the colors and symbols have great meaning.

Or let's even be a bit more simple: identification of opposing forces, rallying point for the troops.

can we all agree that crapping on a stars and bars is ok at least? What would it mean if that flag /symbol was flown upsidedown?

"What would it mean if that flag /symbol was flown upsidedown?"

I think it looks the same either way.

I lost my ability to pretend that America is always the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Read the real history of this country and you will realize God had nothing to do with it. God might have actually been angry about some of the stuff that we have done while waving that flag.

Based on the first paragraph, it is obvious danni had to "pretend" she lived in a Country that is the land of the free and home of the brave? This cuts way deeper than hatred of the military. Of course one can assume she has never done anything with her freedom other than to complain and criticize. Nor has she proven she is one of the brave. Yet she has always backed the likes of the nutjobs in Iran, Cuba, Venezuela...

The second paragraph is quite compelling as well. She thinks God had nothing to do with history of this Country. Is it any wonder she hates the military? She has no honor, she has never performed any duties, she hates what her Country stands for and she thinks God has no place in our society. Keep these facts in mind when she posts in the future. Ignore and abhor her. Just like I would do in real life if I am confronted by the likes of danni.

"Yet she has always backed the likes of the nutjobs in Iran, Cuba, Venezuela..."

I just ever thought assasination as in the case of Allende was an acceptable means of conducting foreign policy. I guess that is just a bit too complicated of a concept for your simplistic uber nationalism.

"Ignore and abhor her. Just like I would do in real life if I am confronted by the likes of danni."

When I posted articles of Flag Ceremonies and their meaning to the military, was that more simplistic repitition? Or did they prove you are a fucking idiot? Oh thats right ever since 1962 with the Allende incident and the Kent State shooting in 1969 you quit pretending we were the land of the free and home of the brave. Those supercede everything good and brave the military has done. Didn't you also point out your hatred because of oil for wars? Was it 1962? 1969? 1991? 2003?

I forgot to mention that this was a violation of the soldier's first AND fourth amendment rights. The right to free expression AND the right to be free from illegal search and siezure.

But it's not. It's when insulting someone else's intelligence, don't spell it 'stoopid'.

Or, in your case, stupididty.

Of course not. It means you were lazy. If you don't, folks will think the idiocy you post is actually coming from you.

Please point out the post and prove my so called idiocy. Should be very easy to do. Seeing as it apparently made you want to post #114.

I guess danforth is of the same opinion as danni about the God having nothing to do with our nations birth and rise. Why else would he defend her and post? After seeing a quote by Lincoln disputing her claim no less.

"Why else would he defend her and post? "

Good God, you're a first-class idiot. Where on earth was I taking ANY position on ANYTHING Lincoln said or defending ANYONE? Regarding the first, you fucked up the spelling of repetition while calling out someone's 'ignorance', and the second time, when going after me, you misspelled, of all things, stupidity.

How you got that I was defending Danni, or knocking Lincoln, I'll never know.

well if i was in REAL distress of life or property, i'd call 911, but that's just me.
try flagging down a cop with an upside down flag and see what happens. nothing. except if it's july 4th, and you're a soldier who uses experience as a guide for opinion as opposed to blogs.

Regarding the first, you fucked up the spelling of repetition while calling out someone's 'ignorance',

You are right. Of course the person who I accused of being ignorant spelled it wrong before I did. Which you seemed to have ignored. No excuse. Make sure you spell every word correctly danforth when you hurl your next insult. More danforth blogging 101?

That's enough fighting you two.

Don't make me pull this blog over!!

"Make sure you spell every word correctly danforth when you hurl your next insult."

Oh, I'm sure I'll misspell some words when hurling my next insult. It just won't be while taking anyone to task for their "pure stupididty".

"Which you seemed to have ignored. No excuse. "

Sure there is. If you're not going to put quotes around what someone else said, don't blame others for thinking it was YOUR 'stupididty'.

But what a scream: you go after Danni, but cry like a little girl when it's your ox being gored. Seems you can dish it out, but piss your pants when you're on the receiving end.

I have big fingers and tend to hit a couple of keys. I also have a habit of being lazy and not checking my spelling. Had I known which exact post you were trolling I would have admitted the error and probably laughed. The fact it was spelling mistake makes you look like the little whining troll. Nobody else bothered to make it an issue. Just you and your tucked little juevos. It's not like this isn't the 50th time you have tried to point out any error in my posts.

The post was NOT meant for you. It did not need quotation marks. You found a mistake and as ususal exploited it for your little pathetic gain. I admitted as much already. Doesn't change the fact you are a fucking little whining troll here. Had you simply ignored instead of butting in, this would have been over.

" The fact it was spelling mistake makes you look like the little whining troll."

The fact it was spelling mistake while you were insulting someone else's intelligence makes you look like you're full of stupididty.

"The post was NOT meant for you. "

That's never been the barometer here, and it never will be. Why are you pretending it is?

"You found a mistake and as ususal exploited it for your little pathetic gain. I admitted as much already"

Huh? By coming after me? It all would have gone away if you'd had thicker skin, ignored it, or laughed about it. Instead, we've now had about a dozen posts talking about your stupididty, and it turns out that while your skin isn't thick, your fingers and skull certainly are.

Huh? By coming after me? It all would have gone away if you'd had thicker skin, ignored it, or laughed about it.

I didn't even know I made the error you stupid fuck. Can't you get that through your fucking thick skull? You troll so fucking much I wasn't sure which post was wrong.

"I didn't even know I made the error you stupid fuck."

But that didn't stop you for coming after me and my "pure stupididty".

But good for you...you spelled all the words right while calling me a 'stupid fuck'. I guess there's hope for you after all!
