I love those people. They're probably vets or dad or granddaddies are vets that fought and died for all our freedoms, even the candy-a$$ed haters that would mock people enjoying their freedom driving a gas guzzler and exercising their right to free speech.

I had no idea that there were such lefty pilots out there that flag ties ticked 'em off so much! Heading out to buy one tomorrow.

I think they look tacky but I don't have a problem with people wearing them.

Well I'm sorry, but if I had a gun and saw Osama, I'd shoot him.

Oh also, I love my F-150. I love the freedom I have to drive it. Noone will ever tell me what I can or cannot drive. Nor should they.

People come to America because they can wear ties that have an American flag and don't have to worry about being told to take it off.

Look, I'm not a lefty pilot and personally, wearing flag ties doesn't bother me. However, if you take the time to actually read about the flag code, you might find it interesting. The flag code is quite patriotic and the purpose is so that we give the American flag the respect it deserves.

United States Flag Code - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This website is pretty good for anyone interested in learning more about flag etiquette.

Sorry.........misread it.

Tie that represents the flag = ok.

Flag that you turned into a tie = not ok.

I hope this has been informative.
