I would like to think that Americans are secure enough in their patriotism that someone showing another flag to them doesn't completely whack them out of shape. So much so that the folks that apparently want to get the government out of out lives and off our backs, would like to micromanage the behavior of others who happen to be fond of where they came from. Based purely on their own narrow idea of what is pro-American and anti-American.
No one on this thread has yet explain how it is that displaying another country's flag equates with a lack of appreciation for this one.
