There are cefrtain situations in which it's appropriate for the flag to be flown upside-down. Some people feel we are in such a situation, and in my opinion, they can make a compelling case.
Example...Barack The Red is trying to force Catholic Churches to provide contraception to their employees. The Church believes that is immoral, antithetical to the Catechism. Now, you must realize that your opinion on birth-control is not the issue here...rather, the issue is whether or not Roman Catholics are free to practice their religion, without having to brook interference from the feds.
This country literally began as an exercise in religious freedom. Obama thinks religious freedom only applies to religious beliefs that he happens to agree with, and he is quite comfy passing laws that make it illegal to act in accordance with beliefs that he doesn't happen to like.
If that doesn't concern you, I don't know what to say. But it causes duress, or distress, to a great many people.
