Colonial Flag--Should I fly it?

[texastoast]

I got a 13-star colonial flag. I know the flag etiquette answer to the question, but living in my extreeeeeeeemely red neighborhood, I thought it might make a statement. Will flying it just, ahem, go over their heads?

1. They will think you are a careful student of history, a "fundie" patriot.

That's my guess!

[Hosnon]

3. I agree. The Reds will see it as a salute to "Old America", not to this

new "Liberal America".

[texastoast]

4. I am saluting the Old America

Which was a workable combination of liberal, populist, and conservative ideology. But gosh, as I think of it, my neighbors probably will have no idea about any of that. Maybe add a yard sign: Where's Ben Franklin when we need him? (and I don't mean the $100 bill). Sigh.

8. By "Old America", I mean the one that is aligned with the ideologies of

Scalia and, to a lesser degree, Thomas, Roberts and Alito.

10. I guess I'll have to explain there is an older America

And suggest they read up on history a little. It will probably be a bit much to ask, but maybe it would a "revolutionary" talking point. No, I won't hold my breath.

12. Me neither. NT.

15. You mean the one that never existed? nt

[Hosnon]

16. Pretty much. NT.

5. I say fly it to express the "internal--and eternal--revolutionary" NT

2. Sure , why not ?

The Gadsden and The Minutemen Culpepper are my favorite Flags to fly .

9. I think that is just a dandy idea

I really like the Gadsden. They will look very nice together.

6. Leave Colonel Flagg alone, he's already bonkers without being flown up a pole.

[FarLeftRage]

7. You should!!

I proudly fly my Gadsden everyday!

11. I also believe I've seen it being used by Neo-Nazis

as an expression of their desires to return to days of slavery, male-only suffrage and "no immigration".

13. I only fly the Betsy Ross flag

until we acheive freedom from King George.

14. Yes, but don't be surprised

if you get a call from your local chapter of the DAR congratulating you on your patriotism!

17. Why not but this bumper sticker?

Yes, that's General Sherman pissing on the Confederate Flag.

18. If I had one, I'd fly it.

I haven't flown the flag since before we started living without the Constitution. I have no intention of flying it until it is in essence restored. I thought about flying it upside down but didn't want my family to be a target. At our lake house, I just fly the jolly rodger.

19. Yes Fly it .

Who cares if it goes over their heads.
You will know what it means.
