FLY THE FLAG; FLY IT UPSIDE DOWN

I recognize that there are some people out there who question the lucidity of the Burney Mountain Hermit.  Over the years, I've come to determine that they are, by and large, liberal Democrats who think that those of us who want good government are less than human beings. These guys are going to have their heyday when I make my next statement; they'll think I've gone totally around the bend.   

Back after 9/11, we Americans showed our patriotism and love for our country by displaying the American flag.  It was in front of every business and most houses, as well as decorating cars, buses, bridges...our flag was everywhere.  Slowly, over the years, it has disappeared.  Now, I know that people didn't just throw their flags in the ash can.  They still have them.  That leads me to this pronouncement.  

Every American who has a flag should fly it from now until the day after election day and they should fly it upside down.  

Huh?  

The upside down U.S. flag is an official signal of distress. It is not meant to be, and is not officially recognized as any type of disrespect when so displayed for the right reasons. To the contrary, here is the relevant part of the US Code of Laws regarding how to fly the flag when in distress:


THE FLAG CODE
Title 36, U.S.C., Chapter 10
As amended by P.L. 344, 94th Congress
Approved July 7, 1976You and I both know that this country is in great distress.  The only way we can resolve our distress is to vote our positions on November 2nd.  Flying the flag upside down will remind people of what our government has done to us and will encourage us to show up at the polls on November 2nd to do something about it.
