New name for the Flag of the USA

**Poisoner** · August 28, 2007, 07:53 PM

I suggest that we from now on, in representation of State and Citizen sovereignty, and in the honor of the rights of the State and the people of, we from now on refer to the Flag of the United States of America, be now known as the Flag of the Federal Government. Which does not represent the State or the Citizens. Nor does honor the States nor its Citizens.

Yes great way to inspire love of ones country. NOT!

Yeah, that makes perfect sense...

Actually, I do like that.

Except it's easier to say, "Stars and Stripes"

Interestingly the "Flag of the USA" is not the flag of the USA, but the flag of the US Military and its interests, for civilian and governmental purposes there is a civil flag with vertical stripes, but it feel out of use after the civil war, though it is still one of the official flags. Every so often someone will be harassed for defacing the flag when they choose to fly it, which i find hilarious.

You mean this one?

**Rush Limbaugh** · August 29, 2007, 12:19 AM

That would be it.

**Sidmen** · August 29, 2007, 12:40 AM

Meh, I would rather have a flag with red and blue stripes, with a star for each state in a corner square of black with white stars.... But thats just me.

They are both the flags of the USA. There isn't some conspiracy theory behind a military junta because we use the Stars and Stripes as the flag for the whole nation instead of the Customs flag with its vertical stripes.

For the Republicans: The Stars and Gay Bars.

Don't you see that Poisoner is a patriot? A real one, in the positive sense. "My country, right or wrong." That is no patriotism. That is following orders.

Yes they are both flags, so i was right in saying it is not THE Flag of the United States. I didn't think it was a conspiracy or anything, just sharing some kind of obscure trivia.

As long as there is still a flag, what is it to change a name? The flag could still use various names to different people.
