Flying a non-USA flag alone in the US. Disrespecful?

I think it is disrespectful. Nothing wrong with flying your own flag, but you need to acknowledge that you are a guest in the country and that you respect the people and laws of the United States. You do this by flying their flag in a superior position and never in a smaller size. I am proud to be a Canadian, but when I fly the Canadian flag, I always fly the Stars and Stripes with it. And I expect others to do the same when they visit Canada.

It doesn't bother me to see flags from different countries flown in the US. It just tells me we are a big melting pot of multi nationalities that (for the most part) can all tollerate one another.

Iam with you, used to drive me crazy years ago driving through my home town seeing all the Portuguese flags on cars and houses with no american flag. Especially those whom are collecting some of the many assistance "handouts" this wonderful country offers.
My parents legally migrated from Portugal before I was born. They are proud of their heritage, but have always flown the Red white and blue in the front yard.

They can be proud of their country just as we are proud of ours. I don't think they are trying to be disrespectful. One of the great things about the US, is the freedom of expression. I also love how Texans show there pride in their state by flying the state flag. You just see them everywhere. This is rarely seen in our home state.

X2 on this!
