7. That's not a flag. It's stars in a blue field with red and white stripes . . .

Not a flag. Otherwise, all bunting would be flags, as would striped summer dresses and blouses with stars.

You can choose to not use it because it seems too much like a flag, and that'd be fine. But it's not a flag.

Flags are cloth and napkins are paper. Use them as you see fit. When you attack the Constitution, we may have words. Otherwise, go for it.

12. That most certainly falls outside the Flag Code!

36 U.S.C. Sec. 176(i): The flag should never be used for advertising purposes in any manner whatsoever. It should not be embroidered on such articles as cushions or handkerchiefs and the like, printed or otherwise impressed on paper napkins or boxes or anything that is designed for temporary use and discard. Advertising signs should not be fastened to a staff or halyard from which the flag is flown.

13. I hate when I hear someone proudly proclaim "they would die for that flag!"...
Sat Jul 4, 2020, 09:50 PM

...or that soldiers have already died for the flag.

Anyone who literally means that, and doesn't actually mean the values for which the flag allegedly stands, is plain and simple a fool.

Rallying around an actual piece of cloth is a demented sort of patriotism.

You're out and about dining, and that's your main concern? Wiping your lips on a red/white/blue napkin? Christ, I only wish me and my family felt safe to dine out. Add my anxiety my 2 sons' damage from this health crisis... That napkin is NOT the US flag. That Post Is Complete bullshit.

with a large flag pull into the marina parking lot that how sad it was that the American flag has become so political. Her companion responded it was also being used by so called patriot groups to excuse their racism. Nodded agreement as l passed.
