I've seen a Confederate Pride flag once. That was a head-turner for sure

I know a person originally from China who is constantly impressed by the number of ordinary people flying the American flag on their own homes simply because they want to, they pay for it themselves and put it up. No one tells these people to fly the flag, they do it because they really and truly want to honor their country. She has even taken pictures of that to show her friends and family back home.

She also flies the flag now, because she wants to.

That makes me feel proud.

Very apt. Flying your flag over someone else's is a symbol of the lower flag being subjugated.

No flags. I do have a US flag, a Gadsden flag, a Moultrie flag, and a Norwegian flag tucked away in a storage tote somewhere, but flying flags lost its appeal for me (besides the US flag) when too many people started flying sexual orientation flags and terrorist organization flags (BLM)--at that point it just became very nauseating.

That would fry what few brain cells reside within their cranium. Then they could all start identifying as jellyfish.

  • The Trump 2024 Flag

But it would be electrified and a camera (or three) would be connected. Hey, gotta have fun when and where you can.

I wouldn't do the Nazi flag as there's people who would probably do some drive bys......however, that's an interesting way to legally commit murder. The old "Attractive Nusiance" doctrine.

  • The Confederate Flag

  • The Come and Take It Flag
  • The QAnon Flag
  • The Nazi Flag

I've personally got an American flag and a Gadsden flag on my garage wall. In my neighborhood there are quite a few American flags displayed, a couple Blue Line flags, and one BLM flag that caused quite a bit of controversy before the POA strongly encouraged them to move it to an attic window rather than out on their fence.


You will see the occasional Confederate flag around here, including one house on a busy road that actually has every Confederate flag with a plaque explaining their history. And of course they fly it at the local Confederate cemetery which is totally appropriate in my opinion.


Never seen a Nazi flag outside of a museum.

I don't fly any of the flags listed by the OP, and the only one I would even consider would be the Blue Line. I have a small American flag on my mailbox post. All my other flags are desktop sized: an American flag and a South Korean flag in my front window; a trio of American, Christian, and South Korean flags on my fireplace mantle; and an American and Maryland flag on my desk at work. I'd kind of like to have a little Japanese "rising sun" battle flag, because of my historical interest in the Imperial Japanese Navy; but it would probably be misunderstood, so I don't have one.
