Does anyone feel this way?
I get so upset when I see flags flags of other counties on their cars and homes. If they're so proud to fly their flags then why not go back to where they came from.
I just don't get it. Why are they here?
The only flag that should be flying in the U.S. is the U.S. Flag!!.........period

Do you guys not get it? I'm not against other nationalities.
We are in America and we should be flying our American flag in support of our Military!

I agree 110% that gets under my skin like you couldn't believe. They come here and reep the benfits of America and then fly the county the ran from flag.... It's just not okay. It makes no sense what so ever. If it was so bad that you had to come here and live off of America then have pride in America....

The only problem I really have with it is not the fact that they are proud of their heritage but when you raise a flag over ground that means that ground is a part of that country. If you are from another country and you purchase land even though you own that piece of land it is still part of the country in which it was in from the beginning. The only case where this is not the situation that I know of is when a government agrees that an embassy's property is a sovereign part of the embassy's country and they allow them to fly their flag....which is a privilege that can be revoked at any time.

why shouldent people fly the flag of the country they are from / like?
however i do feel that along side those flags if these people have moved to the USA they should really fly the USA flag AND their own flag off seperate flagpoles
i wonder if you are angry with me too?? i live in England was born in England and i have English blood yet i fly both my Union flag and the USA flag at my home and i own about 60 USA flags and they are displayed inside my home
i love the USA- i always have through the good times and the bad
You will probably not hate me for doing that thought will you?? ill bet youll be quite happy!!!
but if i lived in the USA and liked Mexico and chose to fly their flag outside my home u would dislike me right?
the world should not be fighting ovr whos flag can be flown where!

Many people have many freedoms to do what they want, like waving a flag of another country. SO WHAT. Ever heard of St. Patrick's Day, you must get very pist that they even have parades for that while waving the Irish Flag. People like you need to get over it. This is the LAND OF THE FREE.

I am proud to have my British flag right next to my USA flag. And, as this is the land of the free, I am allowed to do that. If someone is offend by the fact I have a British flag on my property then that's their problem

Wrong attitude to have. The American flag represents the freedom for people to display their flags. Don't try to force your views onto others. That goes against what this country is all about. My Grandfather fought in WWII and was gravely wounded. He received numerous medals for his service. He also flew a flag from his native Ireland outside his home. Are you saying he does not have that right? Please don't tell me you are against his flying that flag. So stop being so hateful and intolerant. Please!!!

I don't agree with you at all. One can be a dedicated citizen of the US while still placing great value in one's native nationality. Fly both flags.

Are you Jealuos? jajaja dont worry if u think that should be the only one flying in the US. there is alot of flags from other countrys and it should be US proud of it. cause this people coming from other countrys and they like to be in U.S.
If you see alot of people in almost all the countrys are against EU about racism and wars! and if you think they should have only their own flag they have always US flag but burning not like the people in U.S

This is a very thought provoking question......because when you think about it, each state has their own flag as well....but when flown.....the American Flag is always flown above the state flag....
Now here's the thing...it is AMERICA....the AMERICAN flag should be flown over all others......I agree we are a nation of "refugees"...and people should be proud of their (home)nation....but....we are AMERICAN first....that would be the red white and blue....stars and stripes....

Yes, it's shameful that we live in a country were freedom of expression is protected.
It would be so much easier if people were only allowed to say the things that we wanted them to say, and could not express any opinion that was not approved by the majority.

This is america. That is the point. America is the land of freedom and if I want to fly any other flag I can. IF you moved to another country you wouldnt be proud of being america? Would u hide your flag of where you came from??
