Saw a strange flag today

[cams]

that flag is on the left shoulder, iirc. both flags, left and right, fly forwards, so one will always "look" reversed.

Wrong. It’s worn on the right shoulder during times of war to show the stars leading the way or charging into battle, which is why it’s reversed.

In a "loose" sense I've heard DC and Puerto Rico called states..But to say 57 without even included AL and HI is a bit odd.

Actually - 66 is a lot closer to reality than Obama's 57.
There are 16 territories, which would make 66. Only 5 are inhabited: American Samoa, Guam, Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and US Virgin Islands. The uninhabited territories are along the line of Midway Atoll and Wake Island.

Strange, I always thought DC counted as a territory.

57 stars on 0bama's flag.

I keep counting 57 too (not 66), so it has to be the right answer.

Huh, we got rid of Alabama?

Tell me what a cop does, that I can't do for myself. Give me ONE thing. .

Ok,one thing.Applies to the State Police,not local.

Can you make $90 an hour while sleeping in your car for 8 hours ?

Didn't think so.

Co-incidentally, the NRA posted this today on FB:

... the flag that symbolizes freedom through the sacrifice of our troops.

Not sure if serious

Not allowed to say AK in Mass I though?

Medicaid counts DC as a state. Guvment should know..

 

[M60]

Btw, nice thinly veiled cop bashing thread op.

I can't take credit for anything here. I really didn't know what the black flack was about.

There’s an old guy that lives down the street from me, I drive by his house often and on the side of his barn he has an American flag (small/approx 12x18) hanging upside down (stapled or nailed there).

He also has a large flag pole in the front yard with a flag flying normally. Always makes me wonder what he’s thinking, why is it upside down? I understand the meaning behind an upside down flag, but he has both.

I’ve always wanted to stop and ask him but I figure his property his business and also I don’t want to get shot. lol

I've seen multiple different colors to represent ..., park rangers (serious).

Obama made it?

57 stars on 0bama's flag.

Listen to what he says in the video.
It's 58 states.

Spoiler: (Counting the mezzanine)

 

[MisterHappy]

Well, I was planing on putting the Flag out, inverted, if Hildebeast had won.

 

[1919FAN]

Sixteen extra stars for the number of Fema camps!

 

[Lank]

Only one

 

[omega42]

This! NOT all cops are bad. Just the double standard, sometimes triple, that makes some of think they're more equal.

This. I encountered a cop recently who appreciated what I had on the back of my car (look left now). He got it, in spite of serving in the DPRM.

Obama made it?

In the world 0bama and his fellow travelers want to create states and citizenship don't matter. Only serfs and lords. From the party that pretends to be about equality. Go figure.

 

[ThePreBanMan]

I agree. I only flag I know is red, white and blue .

Amen!!

Isn't the upside down flag a call for help? I think it's also a sign that a particular position is being overrun.

Yes it’s considered an official sign of distress or dire need for help. It has also been used (incorrectly) by some in protest for whatever they’re protesting this week.

His has been upside down for at least 3 years now, but also has one flying properly on a pole.

Sounds like he has a lot of trouble .

 

[ISOTOX]

That's a good question. I don't know. I'm still trying to understand why the police would take it upon themselves to change the colors of the American flag.

Fire Departments do it as well but a Red Stripe

Morris Plains FD had 3-stripe Black/Blue/Black decals
on the front corners of their apparatus' very shiny chrome bumpers,
as of the Memorial Day weekend parade.

Ironically, nothing equivalent on the police cruisers.

Maybe the Jakes get fewer speeding tickets from MPPD that way.

You would think with the lateset news cycle there would be more to talk about...Just saying. I guess its a small diversion.

 

[Ringworm]

Wrong. It’s worn on the right shoulder during times of war to show the stars leading the way or charging into battle, which is why it’s reversed.

I stand corrected on the right vs left arm, but iirc, it has nothing to do with times of war, just that it was never seen to be in retreat.

 

[MisterHappy]

It flies backwards, here:
