Political positions and the displaying of the American flag

[98cwitr]

Do you display the American flag at your home? Why or why not?

Do you display the American flag at your home? Why or why not?

I display it on patriotic holidays--the 4th of July, Memorial Day, Veteran's Day. Why? Because I'm patriotic.

 

[GoldenBoy89]

Don’t have one and don’t see the point in displaying one. I know what country I’m in.

 

[Halbhh]

I need another category:

"I'm not allied to 'liberal' or to 'conservative' and I enjoy very much displaying the American flag on holidays at my residence."

I had to vote in a less perfect answer, but could change it to be more accurate if you can add that to your poll.

hah hah. My choice could get more wordy, like to continue:

"...and I love it to see the flags of my neighbor and of the local park district waving in the wind, most days. Delightful!"

(clicks on choice happily)

Is that a California conservative or an Alabama conservative?

However you wish to consider yourself.

Yeah I went back and forth with options, but decided that picking one group and then having those who don't identify in such self-identifying category into the other bucket. Imperfect, but keeps the options down to less than multiple dozen...and even then someone was gonna feel excluded

I live in a small apartment and would have no place to display it.

Do you display the American flag at your home? Why or why not?

I don't because my nation is the Kingdom of Heaven.

If I just flew the Christian flag, I know I'd get flack from the neighbors.

If I flew both flags, I'd have to fly the Christian flag higher, and that would draw flack as well.

It's not compatible with Christianity to do things just to draw that kind of attention.

It was never a family tradition in either my family or my husband's. My husband is a Vietnam vet with an Agent Orange disability however, and both of our fathers were WWII veterans.

I play at church services and always include patriotic hymns on or around patriotic holidays.

 

[Speedwell]

It was always a tradition in my family. I still display the 48 star flag that belonged to my grandfather, a Spanish-American war veteran.

 

[jahel]

maybe a Texan liberal ... shows how much I know about politics ... not

 

[Sif]

I display an American flag at my residence on days such as Independence Day, Memorial Day, Veterans' Day, etc. I am considered 'conservative' on some political/social issues and a 'liberal' on others.

 

[The IbanezerScrooge]

It's just not something my family has ever really done, though my parents are very conservative. I've never had a desire to fly the flag. I actually wonder if people in other countries fly their flags so casually in their day-to-day lives like it seems to be here in the US. Every business and building seems to have a flag flying. Every sports event does the national anthem and flies the flag even if the competing teams are from the same town. I would understand in an international situation, but 2 high school football teams from 2 different schools in the same town? That seems really excessive.

Patriotism in this country is basically its own religion.

 

[comana]

I don’t own a flag nor do I see the point in displaying one on my property.

 

[GACfan]

I don't own an American flag and I don't see the point of displaying one on my property either.

 

[evoeth]

Do you display the American flag at your home? Why or why not?

You left out a few important options: "I live in an apartment and don't have the opportunity to fly anything"

 

[iluvatar5150]

We have one because my wife likes it. If it were up to me, I probably wouldn’t fly it, partly because I don’t like flags and partly because when the wind kicks up, it gets caught on tree branches or on my security camera.

 

[Aryeh Jay]

I fly it on the same days my city flies it on main street.

 

[KingdomLeast]

I love this country, that said … I do not display the flag in or around my home. For that matter I don't display much of anything around my home.
