Reply #1: I think it would be smarter to wear flag lapel pins

[DemBones DemBones]

the usual way, to show that we love our country, too. (My love is getting stretched mighty thin lately but that's another story.)

If we wear them upside down, we'll be called communists, not patriots.

Of course the country is in distress but people on the right don't accept the idea that the flag should ever be turned upside down. They never learned flag etiquette. They don't know that Bush autographing flags is completely wrong, that the flag is never to be written on. They'll leave a flag flying on their car's antenna or on a flagpole at their house until it's nothing but strips of cloth and think that's OK but foam at the mouth if they see a flag upside down.
