Flag Rules and Regulations
Title 4, Chapter 1: The Flag
Sec. 8. - Respect for flag
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.
D. 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.

He has flags all over his gear. He plays with an American flag guitar.
I guarantee you he doesn't intend the flag any disrespect. He's a breath of fresh air in a genre of music that's overwhelmingly dominated by US-hating, anarchy-advocating, ungrateful little ba$tards.
So please don't act like he's some sort of a flag hater. We've got enough real flag haters already. [:(!][:(!]
Where do you get that from?
I'm saying he is Disrespectful to the Flag through Ignorance or for Profit.
Did you read the Rules on Flags?
Or is that like the US Constitution and Bible?
It just doesn't mean anything anymore.

Poking a hole in the American flag so you can wear it over your head is just WRONG!
Remember back in the 70s when a lot of police agencies put the flag on their uniforms? I didn't like that much either.
The flag is not wearing apparel.

Many civilians don't understand the complex regulations regarding care and handling of the US flag. But I have a few questions for you:
Have you personally burned or supervised the burning of every single flag that you personally saw touch the ground?
Have you ever flown US Airways? Then you were complicit in disrespecting the flag. US Airways has an American flag in their logo, which is prohibited. For the record, the US Army has an official contract with US Airways to transport Army personnel around the country. I myself flew US Airways to get to Basic, and then later to get to my duty station. So I guess you could say the US Army is complicit in disrespect to the flag, as well.
Have you ever used an American flag stamp, or ever used the USPS? There you go again. The flag stamp is prohibited too, and anyone using the USPS is complicit in disrespect.
Every time you see a flag, be it on TV, in a magazine, or outside, do you immediately come to the position of attention and either present arms or place your hand over your heart?

It's not all that hard.
But apparently there are those who think someone pissing on the flag and stomping it into the mud is the same thing as someone wearing a t-shirt with the flag and GOD BLESS THE USA. [:(!]

Send him a letter. Write him an email. Correct him in some manner.
Don't just sit there and onager him out like he's doing it just to be a jerk. Cause you know he's not.
I remember a few years ago, Rage Against the Machine was on SNL. They had an American flag hanging upside down from one of their amp stacks and a Soviet hammer and sickle flag hanging from the other stack. They ended up getting thrown out on their ear during the commercial break and didn't get to play their second song.
THAT'S disrespecting the flag.
When they pry it from my cold dead fingers.
I think he's even a member of Kid Rock's promotional team, whoever the hell Kid Rock is.[:D]

Sure we all have broke the rules when it comes to handling and displaying Old Glory and keeping strict protocol sometimes is as hard as keeping the 10 Commandments. Accidents, mishaps, and innocent
violations of flag protocol can and will happen and we, who are respectfull, duly recognize our errors and strive to correct them for future flag handling and displaying.................this is a far cry from blatent disrespect.
Learning what our flag is and what it is all about and how to properly show respect used to be taught in school.
Pack slow, fall stable, pull high, hit dead center.

Absolutely!

But these days if you want to find a musician who doesn't swear, womanize, drink excessively, or use drugs to some extent, you'll either be in the Gospel section of the music store or listening to Gregorian Chants.
And don't tell me Country is still pure. I've heard some of chart-topping country songs these days, and a fair number of them seem to revolve around the artists' sexual exploits in their youth.
I even recently heard one memorable country version of Snoop Dogg's Gin and Juice that had me gasping for air.
I "think" he was displaying the flag in a good manner (in his eyes). Not as a bad gesture. Maybe someone should contact him through his website and find out for sure. Possibly even show the flag rules and regulations that RugerNiner has shown us.
I myself am very patriotic and I have not read the rules and regulations of a flag until now.

The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing.
U.S. FLAG CODE (4 us code 1}
(j) 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.

Sure amazing how smart ol' Bulz got after joining the Army, huh? That's assuming he really DID join the Army.

We may not agree on much but this is the exception. The little puke is a fraud. Has been one from day one.
