Default Patriotism is not a political party

Political leanings do not determine patriotism.

Thanks for putting it so eloquently. You are 100% correct. Enough said.

I stand corrected.

Hitler was a patriot to his Germany, as was Stalin to his Russia.

SWA pilots have been doing it for years and I like it... I'm not at SWA but I wear mine if I happen to be flying on 4th of July...

Also, at home I like to wear this outfit ...and I'm a guy...

I hope this has been informative.
Not exactly..... The Flag Code defines flag very broadly.

According to the Flag Code, the words "flag, standard, colors, or ensign", include any flag, standard, colors, ensign, or any picture or representation of either, or of any part or parts of either, made of any substance or represented on any substance, of any size evidently purporting to be either of said flag, standard, colors, or ensign of the United States of America or a picture or a representation of either, upon which shall be shown the colors, the stars and the stripes, in any number of either thereof, or of any part or parts of either, by which the average person seeing the same without deliberation may believe the same to represent the flag, colors, standard, or ensign of the United States of America.

All true, except Stalin was never a "patriot to his Russia" - "Steel Man" - Yosif Dzugashvili was a Georgian (no, the other Georgia ) not a Russian... a patriot (in a perverted way) to his Soviet Union - Da, Russia - Nyet...

Now, back to the regular program...

Your telling me that saying that you want to shoot an enemy of the state who is responsible for thousands of Americans deaths could get you arrested? Must be a new Obama administration thing cause didn't GW say basically the same thing about Osama Bin Laden "Wanted dead or alive"?

Wearing the american flag as an article of clothing (of any kind) is like the white trash uniform.

What does that have to do with flag display etiquette?

And, by the way, the words under God were not added until 1954 so that is not a big part of our history as a nation.
