my father is english, and my parents have both the union jack and the stars and stripes flying outside the house. the US flag is positioned higher because that's the country they live in, and because my family is patriotic. my dad is a very proud englishman who still retains his UK citizenship even after over 30 years of living here in the states. if he has no problem with the US flag being above his, why the hell are all these damn hippies getting so up in arms? seriously, sometimes i feel ashamed to look at these individuals and call myself a liberal.
you can fly your country's flag all you want, just so long as you have a US flag above it. it's the country you live in, and furthermore, the country that gives you the right to fly said flag. what's the big fuckin deal?
I thought US hostilities with Great Britain ended with the Treaty of Ghent?
United States Code, Title 4, Section 7, Paragraph (g):
When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace.
