It’s true. Sorry if that hurts feelings and rustles your BVd’s but when you’re forced to kiss the ring of the SJW/commie socialist shit coming our way while they hide behind that flag you’ll get it then.

prepare to get raped by the long cock of “freedom”

See it for what it is.

As I understand it, showing the flag in that way is showing you have no hope, nor means to endure the inevitable demise of your post...

It also means you spent the time to bring down your own colors, and run them back up...I'd rather die fighting than playing color guard.

Like my fathers before me...

it means the country is in distress/danger

u don’t agree? Even if you don’t the 1st amendment provides the right to do so.

It’s a sign of distress and a call for help from your fellow like minded men

I tend to be relatively even keeled around here. I may not be the smartest, or well educated individual...maybe not even as well read as someone as yourself.

I may be a lot of things, but "lazy", I assure you, is not one of them.

As such in life, I've been called worse things, by better people.

Real men and women fly the US flag the correct way. If these guys, who I would say were quite distressed flew the flag the proper way....... then turn yours around.
Hey, go to Mexico and fly their flag upside down. You know he big ones at the borders or Ensenada. Guaranteed, the people would off your ass before the cops or federales ever got to you.

This country is still the greatest country on earth. All of you live here, make your wealth here and have the opportunity to talk shit here. Try that in China, Iran or elsewhere. See how that works out for you.

For those that do not understand. Flying a US fag upside down is NOT a sign of disrespect. like was said, it is a sign that you are under attack. There is no disrespect at flying it upside down at this time. WE ARE under attack by the communists dems. Very appropriate at this very moment.

Just a bit of history behind this. Since ancient times, flags have been used for communication in the military. Think US Navy semaphore in WWII films. By flying a flag upside down in a fort or post it did several things.
1 Signaled troops to the fort was in distress and needed help
2 made sure troops returning to their post were not ambushed by the enemy.

Obviously, with modern communications, this isn’t needed on a modern battlefield, but it is VERY symbolic of our fight today.

true, it is from the civil war days when a fort was overrun. It was a sign of distress that would go unnoticed. I hope that we are stronger than needing to display that. However, I can see the OPs point with the current state that we are overrun by traitors, communists and pussies! All the flags that were raised the right way up show the American resolve! Let’s find a way to raise a flag through this bullshit

Anyone not in “dire distress” and flying an inverted US Flag is disrespecting the US flag. Period!

Read the US Flag Code, Title 4, Chapter 1, Section 8(a) Respect for Flag.
  • 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.

“Dire distress and extreme danger to life or property” should not be taken lightly here Is defined as immediate threat event happening to you at your location. These instances do not include moments of personal dissatisfaction or times of protest. Nor should it try be redefined to fit a BS narrative to justify flying an inverted Flag In protest.
Think about it guys, Not following the code as listed in Section 8(a-i) is not Respecting the Flag!
IMO That’s just as disrespecful as taking a knee also during anthem.

Right. In such dire distress that you have time to post on boating forum.
You don’t understand the meaning. If an overseas embassy is under attack they‘re allowed to invert a flag. We don’t invert flags all over the country. That defeats the purpose.

It’s a day that forced a lot of frustrations to the forefront.
Hell , I had a “Patriot” on here yell at someone to show him respect after he called me a fool, lol.

We all have decisions/ lines we won’t let others cross.
To each their own. It’s a boating site in the end and everyone has a place at the RDP table (kinda sorta🤣)
Not sure where this is all going but find your “line” and defend it.

Need to identify the real issue and handle it, before we talk shit or argue about things that most of us agree with (for the most part).
Wouldn't it be easier to identify and repair, now. Versus after the fact, when we have no means to do so??

I find it amazing that after this shit day we all had.. we are finding the time to argue about this shit..
I feel the SAME WAY.
My question, how do we move forward, keep the America First momentum going.
Seems like going out to VOTE didn't work.

Beautifully said. Especially in the midst of this coup.

The downward slide of the US is unstoppable since we have had so much social, cultural, and political deterioration. The country we knew and loved is dead. Somewhere in the distant future the brave few who've survived this will create the next great, and better country with liberty and pursuit of happiness as the primary goals.
