Is it patriotic to make bed sheets out of your flag?

No it is definately not. There are several rules governing what you can and cannot do to the flag (assuming you are talking about the greatest and prettiest flag in the world - Old Glory). Check the site below to see them.\n\nFYI - Bushy Bush desecrated an American flag by signing his name to it for a "fan" (I call fans of Bush "traitors"). He is thereby a traitor to this country, and should be tried and condemned as such. Just my thoughts on the subject. Can you tell I didn't vote for him?

Stripes On The American Flag

Stripes and blocks are used so they can be seen.  A flag is a signal, not a picture, and it has to be seen miles away.

I'm telling ya. It gets nuttier and nuttier.\n\nI would consider myself Patriotic, and I love the U.S.A. , and \nto burn the flag because some Piss Ant wants to flaunt his \n"1st Amendment rights"  just cause he can is not only in bad taste, but VERY UN-AMERICAN in my book. \n\nMaybe it's me but every time I see some son-of-gun burning the flag it breaks my heart, I mean I literally feel sick to my stomach over it because if people could walk in the shoes of those young boys and girls who fight each day for our country, putting their own life on the line, losing limbs, and dying for us and our country, well what a shame, and  what a lie we are as a country. \n\nWhen I see people burning the American Flag it's like flipping the bird (giving the finger) to those who have fought in the past and\npresent, and it's a selfish thing to do. \n \nYea, go ahead and rationalize your rights and why you want to burn the flag, hide behind the 1st Amendment.  Tell our troops why you want to do it, but I'll tell you something, if you're ever in a \nbind over in some 3rd world country, don't hide behind the flag if you've been burning it at home. \nAs they say in America: What comes around goes around and let me tell ya something, Karma is a bitch.

Flag-burning may be objectionable to you, but the reality is that it's a fairly effective way to show disassociation with the country.  I know that lots of people say, "If you don't like it here, then move." It isn't that easy, though, if your family and home and roots are here.  For most, it's the better choice to stay and raise hell (non-violently, of course) and hope for change.  I am not a flag burner myself, but it's a protected form of free speech.  People who do it deserve no more persecution than people who rail against "the man" in other non-violent ways.

If you're going to live in America...Why don't you be a proud AMERICAN and hang the American flag???

Yes, absolutely.  Being American is about freedom and that freedom is about questioning authority too.  I think that people who question the president may be the most patriotic people out there.

"A patriot wraps himself around the flag to defend it; a scoundrel wraps it around himself to defend himself”\n\nI would vote for the latter...

No what bothers me is the misconception people have about it and the stupid groups like the KKK who use it for evil. I don't hate anyone. My stepfather is a black man. I am white. Like the other folks have said it is a symbol of heritage. Civil War History is a big part of some peoples lives. Civil War Reenactments are a hobby of mine. I know black guys who sport the flag down south. In short I don't believe you should hate the flag you should hate the stupid people who misuse the flag. Like Jenn

Yes, definitely. While my ancestors were British I don't think we need the Union Jack on the corner of the Aussie flag any more. \nPersonally I think it would be fine if they just took the Union Jack off and left it as the Southern Cross and Federation star on a blue background....

The flag is the symbol of our COUNTRY ... not the successive governments ... consequently, if you desecrate the flag, you desecrate the country ... any American who desecrates the flag, spits on his country and on the people who spent their lives defending it ... well, if that's what they want to do, then that's what they want to do, in the name of "freedom of speech" .. personally, I think if anyone feels they have a need to express contempt for their country, all I can say is ... America is not for you ... get out of it ...

I've always found it odd that a state within the United States would demand keeping the flag of a nation that disavowed being a part of the United States within it's modern flag.\n\nParadoxial in a sense.

No, you should wave the flag of the country that you want to stay in...If you are that proud of the country you are here illegally from, then why did you come here?

What makes you ask this?  Do you think thee is a lack of patriotism in the US?\n\nIf so, I couldnt disagree more.  Even in a time where we are fighting a very unpopular war, there are American flags on every corner and a "support our troops" magnet on every 3rd car.\n\nOr maybe I just think that because I'm in the Air Force and live in a military community

By asking this question, you insinuate that democrats don't support and honor the flag! I think everyone should have the same American values! Yes, our flags should all be made here. I think cars should too... Let Japanese people drive toyotas! Anyhow, if you are trying to insult Republicans, it made you look slightly ignorant. I bet even a few democrats got a chuckle...

There is no special ritual for this one; the design of the Bear Flag does not lend itself to any form of cloth origami in the way the U.S. flag design does.  Just do the same moves you would for the U.S. flag.
