Flying upside-down flag is a bit on the extreme side

OK, we all get it. It's hard to accept when your guy is the loser in an election. However, the whole flying an upside down American flag at homes around the area is a bit on the extreme side, don't you think?

First of all, while what you think you are doing is so clever, you are actually just incredibly disrespectful to our flag, our country, our citizens and both active and veteran military service people.

Second, are you really that sore of a loser that you want to throw a childish temper tantrum for all of us to see, while you flush any semblance of patriotism down the toilet?

And third, if you or yours are ever truly in danger and you wanted to signal that rare display of our flag upside down, like the boy who cried wolf, everyone will just think "Oh it's just that old jerk who doesn't get the whole meaning behind the upside-down flag."  

And finally, for that guy who is flying a confederate flag above our U.S. flag (you know who you are and most of us driving by do, too), how utterly disrespectful, unpatriotic, and sick — your top display of the flag of treason against the United States is, as well as insulting to every American, particularly our veterans. How ironic that you exercise your "right" to do that by insulting our flag, which stands for those very rights. Why not just cut to the chase and fly a swastika?
