Oh I see, we live in the United States of Molon Labe14 now. See, I thought this was America where people were free to do such things without oppression, so long as it's legal, no matter how much others may disagree with them.  You're an idiot and people like you are a bigger threat to this country than any flag...more

Though it is technically written into law books, flag code is regarded as etiquette by all law...more
