What should it say? Mission Accomplished?

it could be worse… it could be the president disrepecting the flag—

Bush signs a flag and that too is just wrong–he is an idiot for doing so.

Some company prints up hundreds of thousands of flags with the image of Obama and sells them to ignorant citizens for a premium–that is brilliant.

Why is signing a flag, or putting Obama’s (or anyone’s) likeness on the flag disrespectful?

US Code, Title 4, Chapter 1, Sec. 8 (g): “The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.”

You must not remember 1976 very well. Everything was all flags.

Haha, you Flag people are the best.

Huh. You learn something new every day. Seems pretty ridiculous to me. I wonder if the new AG will prosecute W? :slight_smile:

Take that up with our lawmakers. (see other post)

Aussies and Kiwis are pissed too…the Brits put their bloody flag on the Aussie and Kiwi flags!..

Why, because we adhere to the rule of law?

Do you? all of them? If obama bans guns will you adhere to that one?

Thats sort of an entirely different discussion anyway.

What I am talking about, is Flag people.

You guys are hilarious.

Yes, I get that its funny that people are ignorant about the fact that you aren’t supposed to draw on the flag.

Its also funny how upset you get about it =)

Oh come on! It’s kind of like drafting. How can you blame the offenders if the enforcers aren’t enforcing it? :slight_smile:

I get how defacing a actual flag by writing on it, or defacing it in any other fashion, may violate the code (nicely done, GW), but if you print an image based on the design of the flag that’s not intended to be, specifically, the flag of the US of A, does that qualify? Are bikinis with the stars & stripes design a violation also, or is it only a violation if you cut up an actual flag to use as a bikini, or if you took an American flag and pasted an Obama image over it?

Most of those images appear to be evidence of defaced flags. The last is not so clear.

I have never met anyone who obeys every rule of law. I’ve definitely never a cyclist who always comes to a complete stop where that’s required of cars. I’m not sure I’ve met anyone who never speeds. If you’re ready to come forward and claim to be such a person, go for it. Otherwise, why not just admit that some laws are more important than others and the flag one surely falls fairly far down the list.

Ha! Bow down before the Queen and her manhands!

You didn’t study flag law in law school? You must have attended one of those lefty schools.

An honest question: how does that code fit with USA flag clothes? Are they technically not flags and so therefore ok?

Think of the impact to the Rocky movie series… :wink:

I know! Now that I think about it, how could they have ignored the flag laws? Communist pinko law school!!!
