FLAGS: Issue isn't Old Glory

| January 26, 2011 9:00 PM

I chuckled over the silly rant about Obama flying the American flag at the same height as China's. You think someone who was so rabid about defending it would at least know the rules... which state the flag must be flown at an equal height or center and always on the right side of visiting flags, including state flags.

I admit I am no expert on flag rules, however I can type in a Google bar and found MANY photos of Bush Sr., Bush Jr., and yes even the god of the right, Ronald Reagan, flying the flag at equal heights as visiting flags.

I suspect though that this has nothing to do with old glory... but instead old ideology.
