By the way Marine U flying a flag year round?
You're confusing me with Jim.

"The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning."
I would estimate there's about 27% of the original US flag left.

You're joking right?

Well,that must be satisfying.

Make sure you ignore the facts and continue to grasp at straws. Even when you are wrong,you keep insisting you are right. Silly Jeff

I'll bring that up as an option. Thanks.
No problem. We would be glad to do it - I'll even pick up the flag from him.

You just made my /sarc point - you would be in a decidedly small minority in your home state. :rotf2:

Nope - sunrise to sunset, afterward it must be lit.

Kevin is extremely well versed in the Flag code / etiquette. Surprisingly how most people don't know much about it - guess it is taboo to talk about in schools today (and the last 40 years)

It's fake outrage that fits the narrative of Obama not loving this country because of his Kenyan sensibilities.
Man oh man. When Obama said there were 57 states, was he wrong then? Or did he acquire additional states in a nanosecond, and then sell them in the next nanosecond.
My outrage isn't fake, it's as genuine as it gets. There's not one loyal follower of rev wright who doesn't hate this country, nor a political ally of bill ayers, and you can throw his wife in the mix of America bathers. You'll never hear me say he's not a citizen, though.

No worries, if I had a dollar for every time I confused who said what. I have an illuminated flag on my house, but I'm Personally not a fanatic about it, in terms of what others do, I usually don't concern myself with what some person does on his own property.

In other words, if it always took Obama a week to lower the flag, you give him a pass. And if he usually takes less than a day to do it, you still give him a pass. In other words, no matter what, he is impeccable. Must be awfully convenient to be validated regardless of what the facts happen to be. The climate change kooks take the same approach. No matter what, it's man made climate change that will have Fairbanks exporting rum and sugar cane any day now.

Your calculus has an error as you are misdefining variables.
