I believe so.

I think the OP mentioned that the flag pole is some 40 feet high, and that he does not have a rope/pulley system to raise/lower the flag, hence he must 'shin' up the pole to hang, or remove, the flag.

It is a tiresome process for one of his years. Plus, during the winter, there is always the danger of becoming 'stuck' to the flag pole should one's tongue hang out due to the exertion of climbing.

I believe he did state that coming down the pole is very, very easy, although the landing 'smarts'.

Here is an actual painting of President Obama standing on the Constitution. It was painted from an actual scene, I believe.

You make me sick.
You are a traitor and are the epitome of everything that's wrong in this world.

Throwing away an American flag because a man is DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED BY THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE is not only immature and pathetic, it's downright treasonous.

The so-called patriots are clearly the least patriotic of them all.
I don't know about you, but when I served in this country's military, I was loyal to my commander-in-chief regardless of my feelings about his race, religion, name or personal politics.

If Mint Rawmoney would have won, I would have flown the slave-era American flag over my house.

No better way to show your ignorance then playing the "Race Card" as your default defense for anything you disagree with.

Left thinks it just fine to pee or burn the flag in protest but when someone on the right uses it your only claim is you won the election. So does that mean only left wing cooks peeing and burning the flag is ok but the right protesting the flag is not . You might have won the presidential election but you did not win the right to say someone can not use the flag in protest . Unless you are now claiming you want to pass a law allowing peeing and burning as long as you flash your Democratic Party card
