Sick" are being made...this was done by a free citizen of our democratic republic, not some robot of a communistic society that would lock down it's freedom of artistic expression.<br /><br />I actually read the law that you quoted and here is a fun fact for you...The people that wrote these laws had enough respect for anyone placed in the position of president, that if he felt it necessary he could put his likeness on the flag, while this is disrespectful to the flag It is also disrespectful to the president, not one of your patriotic commenters mentioned the fact that the institution of the president should be respected as well<br /><br />Here is the section I was referring to <br />FEDERAL FLAG CODE: PUBLIC LAW 94-344<br />SEC. 8. Any rule or custom pertaining to the display of the flag of the United States of America, set forth herein, may be altered, modified, or repealed, or additional rules with respect thereto may be prescribed, by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States, whenever he deems it to be appropriate or desirable; and any such alteration or additional rule shall be set forth in proclamation.Wanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12384347526625976847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-15955829546391426662012-03-25T05:24:24.309-07:002012-03-25T05:24:24.309-07:00um, yes.
