The upside down flag is a pro American symbol
It means the country is IN DISTRESS.

6. SOS all the way ...
Mayday! Mayday! I fly it in distress.

I thought everybody knew that. So much for knowing about your flag and country. Oh, that's right, pinheads don't.

7. I got railroaded
When I offered the people on the John Kerry forum the idea of flying the flag upside down about a year ago. It's completely appropriate. We are a nation in distress aren't we?

9. I dunno, upside-down flag is too fraught with controversy
for my taste.

10. Yes, heaven forbid we take a courageous and moral stand ...
that's exactly why we (The Democratic Party) are helpless and * with his right wing religious radicals CONTROL our country for the next four years.

The only advice for folks who just rather "go along and don't rock the boat" is follow, lead or get out of OUR way. :-)

It's true: If you don't stand for something you'll fall for anything.

FYI :)

12. I wear it on my jacket lapel.
When I wear a jacket I have the traditional little metal painted american flag pin we see so often. I used to wear it in the normal position, but since this election I've turned it around so it's upside down.

So far nobody has commented on it, so I'm not sure if people think it just accidently got twisted around or what.
