Thread: Red Flag over DC

Actually, that is a ceremonial flag that accompanies all dignataries, just like W. stated in his notice.

What is different is this as a ceremony on government property to celebrate communism.

Don't try to tell me how to THINK! China is one of our biggest problems.

I'm not trying to attack anyone, simply point out that foreign flags fly in American all the time when foreign dignitaries visit. It is NOT an issue to obsess about.

As an FYI: The Kennedy Center has a Hall of Nations. You will see of flags of every country with which the U.S. has diplomatic relations. When a country changes its name, a 60-ft scaffold is erected in order to rearrange the flags in alphabetical order - which is what protocol dictates. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, work crews had to add 12 new flags.

When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace."

"No other flag or pennant should be placed above or, if on the same level, to the right of the flag of the United States of America..."

The same section later reads "No person shall display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or international flag equal, above, or in a position of superior prominence or honor to, or in place of, the flag of the United States at any place within the United States or any Territory or possession thereof..."

If you review the video, it appears both flags are of approximate equal size and raised to about the same height, which means Obama adhered to flag protocol.



No one is trying to tell you HOW to think – just to think; learn all the facts before you wage an assault on someone who is in your corner.

China is not one of our biggest problems - half of our personal and professional possessions are made in China - WITHOUT China we would have big problems. We LIKE that China can manufacture a plethora of items that we use in our every day lives, at prices we can afford. Whether you care to admit it or not, there aren't many of us who are willing to give that all up because Obama welcomed China's representative to host a celebration on the Ellipse (which is a PUBLIC park - not government property).

Putting things into perspective and working towards the Goals of ALIPAC is where the attention should be focused. Foreign flags are flown on American soil, and will continue. This video was jumping the gun and now serves as a tool to be used against ALIPAC in the future. One of the bad things about the internet.

This is the flag rules and regulations

"No disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America." Section 8

"The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing." Section 8j

In our case the way things are going I think our flag needs to be flown "Upside Down" Since our country is in a lot of distress...

Thank you - #11 is the rule I posted earlier.

Again, this is an obsession about a non issue

Hey Y'all,
Let's keep this discussion Friendly and Courteous OK.

The Ellipse is the President's Park South it is a public access park, however, I'm sure the Chinese reserved it for the event to celebrate the Communist take over of China.

If you know anything at all about Communism, then you know the Chinese government was behind this little propaganda party. This is about "super power". Unlike American, the Communist of China would gladly rule the world.

I'm not OK with the Chinese posturing that they are in charge of the US and the government sure as hell is not our friends. Why did they dissect our Stealth bomber, instead of return it? Clinton should have destroyed it instead of let them take it apart.

China is currently developing stealth fighters like J-XX and J-13 (which is based on the J-10). pIt is the world's second Stealth bomber...

They are not inventive in there own right, everything they make is copied from some where or some thing else. They just copy and re-produce most things.

Don't give the China One Sun Communist Leader any part of an inch. And what about the muslim praying in Washington for their take over, too.

But all good Americans keep the tax money rolling in to take care of China, muslim and other foreigners invaders.
