"Long-Term Effects of U.S. Flag Exposure on Republicanism."
(http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/07/20/study-us-flag-primes-voters-toward-republican-viewpoints/?test=latestnews)Just a glimpse at the American flag can sway voters, even Democrats, toward more Republican voting behavior, attitudes and beliefs, a new two-year study says.

Well then, we can probably expect a crackdown at some point.

Hey, they shoot first...it's game on!

On windshield, above the state tax stickers, the size of the same stickers, is an excellent place to display the flag.

I got 'em front & back!

I fly a twin pair of flags on my old pickup truck. It never fails to attract positive attention. I have yet to hear anyone piss & moan about them - even here in ultra-leftist seattle. I'm still looking for a companion Gadsden flag in the same size.
I wonder how the zombies will take that?

Note to self: BUY NEW FLAGS.

Note to self: BUY NEW FLAGS.
Had a new one stashed and took it out just before the 4th.
This one had grommets as opposed to a sleeve, which the pole didn't accommodate, so a new pole was in order as well. After some modifications, finagling with rings, clips and whatnot, Old Glory is out there, flying true every day.
I've got a magnetic one on the truck's tailgate.

I have a permanent flagpole in my front yard which my dad had installed. For years I bought 3' x 5' nylon flags with grommets and sewn stars and stripes at Lowe's or Home Depot. They're a little more expensive, but much nicer than the ones that are just printed. But a few years ago I needed a new flag, and found that those places no longer carried the kind I wanted.
I did a little searching online, and found Flag Store USA (https://www.flagstoreusa.com/default.asp). I've bought from them twice and am very satisfied. Nylon flags will last 2-3 years, depending on how much they're flown and weather conditions. (I raise mine in the morning and lower it at night, rather than flying it 24 hours a day.) Eventually they'll start to fray at the edges and need to be retired. The colors are guaranteed for two years, and they hold up pretty well, although you'll notice the difference if you look at an old and a new flag side-by-side.
They have all kinds and sizes of flags, including state flags and Gadsden flags. Their flags are made by Annin, which is an old company that still manufactures them in the U.S. Six of their flags were taken to the Moon.

Bookmarked, and thanks, rickl.

I have a large magnet flag on my steel front door, a small desk set of military flags witht he US in the middle, a First Navy Jack (see avatar) I rig on the boat for the 4th, a Betsy Ross I fly on the flag pole at the lake on the 4th. And I have dozens of US, historical & military lapel pins and patches and such. Two window decals on the SUV and one sticker on the back of my cycle.
I'd like to get a Sons of Liberty and a Gadsden, but I cannot recall where I got my two historical ones from, might have been this outfit, they seem to have everything, flags can come in up to 4 different materials and are all US made -

Thanks for the links. I think I can find something we'll like. Darn raccoon sat on our wood flag pole, bent the metal bracket and snapped the pole in two. Needed a new flag anyway.

Dayum. You've got some "fluffy" 'coons your way.

Sounds like you need to shoot some raccoons too!
