    I don't see any with the Union Down, did I miss something?

    As to the display on clothing, I believe the High Courts ruled that you can do almost anything you want to the flag.

    I believe most people mean it as a form of respect though.

    I simply listed the entire section of the flag code dealing with respect. I never claimed that every subpoint was violated.

    I repeat, this is not a law, but guidelines of respect drawn up as a standard. My view is that our national symbol is worth at least that measure of respect. Court rulings have nothing to do with the rightness or wrongness since it was not law to start with.

    I do not think it honours our flag to wear it like a shawl on a sweaty body.

    But this country IS in distress...and is in imminent danger of the judgment of God upon our lives and our land. This country has taken an indifferent attitude toward sin. Where's the public outcry against sin?

    The United States pretends to be a Godly nation, but no Godliness is found here. How will God bless America when the nation has turned away from the Lord? Why should God bless America? Abortion, sodomites, adultery and fornication, lying, government education, state-run churches, spineless pastors, breakdown of the family, etc. Yet the people love to have it so.

    EVEN SO, COME, LORD JESUS!

    I like the original US Flag. I noticed on the Movie The Crossing that Washington and the Continental Army has the original US Flag with the Union Jack on it at the Battle of Trenton...It was cool

    I liked the one with the circle of stars which
    to me meant a more perfect union.

    Show the enemy the sharp edge of the sword that backs our flag and the republic for which it stands.
