WAS THERE A LAW THAT STATED WE CAN NOT BURN THE FLAG.
OR DISRESPECT IT IN PUBLIC - THERE SHOULD BE

As an American I think we can say we are offended By this desecration of our flag

That bogus flag is a misrepresentation and no one should be allowed to imitate an American flag!

There is no law that says we can't burn the flag but to desecrate it is something else.

Flag of the United States Regulations...

That no disrespect should be shown to the flag of the United States of America -- the flag should not be dipped to any person or thing. Regimental colors, State flags, and organization or institutional flags are to be dipped as a mark of honor.


1. The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress in instances of extreme danger to life or property.
2. The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water, or merchandise.
3. The flag should never be carried flat or horizontally, but always aloft and free.
4. The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to fall free. Bunting of blue, white and red, always arranged with the blue above, the white in the middle, and the red below, should be used for covering a speaker's desk, draping the front of the platform, and for decoration in general.
5. The flag should never be fastened, displayed, used, or stored in such a manner as to permit it to be easily torn, soiled, or damaged in any way.
6. The flag should never be used as a covering for a ceiling.
7. The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.
8. The flag should never be used as a receptacle for receiving, holding, carrying, or delivering anything.
9. 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.
10. No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart.
11. The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.

We always have a flag at our front entrance. Hubby was in the military 23 and 1/2 years. We are proud of our flag. When it gets tattered we burn it. It's like a wake when we have to do that.
But I didn't know you shouldn't wear it. I didn't know quite a few of those things there.
I do know what they did with our flag is disrespectful. If I see one of them I will surely burn it.
I feel personally insulted by that.

The illegals burn our flag in Hate and Rage! It should be illegal in that respect! An American flag can be burned just as you said GOSCOOTIN if it is tattered and torn it can be burned!

I too feel insulted when they burn our flag! It is in hate and completely disrespectful!!!

the symbol/flag/thing on the right is NOT my flag. putting stars and some strips on any rag does not make it the USA's flag. our flag is for freedom and the protection of 'We the People" citizens of the US. the mexicans can pretend they are American and think we will fall in line because of a few stars and a few strips. lulac needs to be charged with desecrating our beautiful flag.

It looks like a poor attempt to recreate the original flag with the 13 colonies! Looking at it more and more it does piss me off a bit!!!

I think it’s time for us the majority of the population of the United States of America
To tell the few that scream we are offended and the politically correct diaper wipes
That we are offended by this LULAC Flag and demand that it be changed to a real American Flag as our fore Fathers intended it to be and demand that LULAC make a national formal apology to the Citizens of the United States of America for desecrating the American Flag. I think I remember a member who stated he was a lawyer . If you read this can you help??

Yea this is a defacement of our flag!!!

7. The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.

Their manipulation of our flag is an affront to America and it's citizens! Legal action should be taken to withdraw that abomination!
