    Tell you what... after you spend a few years in the service of your beloved country you can tell me about how to display a flag.

    "Most Americans" are blissfully ignorant of the "flag code"... as are you.

    Ancient Bush family proverb; Give a man a fish and he'll eat for a day... drown him in the lake and he'll never be hungry again.

    Any Which Way.... because there's more to it than Fox tells you.

    It isnt Defamation.

    Its an internationally recognised Distress Signal, and one of the methods used in the past to warn others that the enemy had over-run the camp, so to speak.

    Works better with more symetrical flags though, like the Union Flag of the UK

    Pretty easy to spot an upside down asymetrical flag

    Well, the people in charge of such things has ruled that making a political statement is not a real sign of "distress"

    However, the American Legion regards Zelman's reasons for flying the American flag upside down as an "improper use" of the flag, Justis said.

    The Flag Code is pretty clear on flying the flag upside down, he said. It does not include doing so in order to "make a political statement or to suggest that we are in extreme danger to life or property" Justis added.
    But, you can do whatever you want, just realize that most Americans will find it inflammitory.
    Do you know everything? do you know 3% of everything? Could it be that what you don't believe in is in the other 97%?

    I will...

    Most people find that invading their country is inflamatory, but you support it anyway...

    I'll stick with the International Definition, not that decided by 0.01% of the 6% of the worlds population that make up the USA...

    Who really cares at the end of the day it's just a flag...if you want to make a big thing about a piece of cloth that's your choice, but as an American (just assuming) scoff has the right to fly his flag as he wishes.

    it’s an election with no Democrats, in one of the whitest states in the union, where rich candidates pay $35 for your votes. Or, as Republicans call it, their vision for the future.

    True; this came out of pure observation.
