I bought the flag (Made in China) so it is mine and I can use it in my house the way I want to use it.

Because you have no respect for the flag, nor for the country that gives you the freedom to be as stupid as you are! Why don't you crawl back into your hole and learn some respect, before someone teaches you in a way you will not like!!

Well I am not American but I think using any flag to wipe off your shoes would be considered disrespectful to your country which is why people get upset. However, you are right, it is your house so you can do what you want.

Look at this link. There is lots of information here. It is disrespectful to have the flag touch the ground, or to have something that represents the flag to touch the ground.

Yes, it is your flag so you are right you can use it however you want to... heres why people may get upset:
Some people see it as a disgrace to wipe their dirty feet on our flag, especially now that we are in a war. They see the flag as a symbol and believe that it deserves respect.
It's your flag though so do whatever you want with it, just don't be surprised when people complain or get upset.
Have a great day =)

Being that I am a third generation Vet I find your attitude toward the flag extremely rude. You should be thanking Vets because you do have the right to do it, no matter how offensive it is. I bet you don't even realize the importance of today's date is do you.

How upset would you be if your neighbor had a picture of you on a door mat and you had to wipe your feet on it before they would let you in to the house?

Yeah you can, so why do you care if they get upset about it haha...
but in all honesty, it probably has something to do with you disrespecting America or something along those lines...
I guess, just expect consequences.
