If you fly the flag for any reason other than showing your respect for it, our country, those that fought under and died for it, and the freedom it represents don’t bother…

You do not need to prove your patriotism by flying it and flying the flag does not prove your patriotism…

It’s a matter of the heart and if you fly it fly it properly… freedom doesn’t mean you get to make your own rules…

I'm not a business venture seeing to "out flag" the competition.
I fly the flag because I'm proud to be an American.
What did people before the US Flag Code do as it's only been around since the early 1920's?

I fail to see what this statement has to do with displaying the American flag properly. There is a right and a wrong way to display it if you want to do it and trying to rationalize displaying it incorrectly sort of makes me also "fall off my chair" and give me pause and concern why someone would be supportive of displaying it incorrectly. As I said in my prior post it "bothers" me when I see someone having the American flag flying in the dark and makes me think they don't seem to care enough to do it right. It's sort of one of those first impression type things that are taken at face value.
