I do not understand the beef about flags? This is the US and Chicago, accrding to my friends in Poland, has the largest Polish population. If you go down South you'll see Dixie flying over a state capitol. I would far rather see a Polish, PR, Mexican or any other national flag flying next to me than I would the Nazi flag the haters wrap themselves in while they demand special treatment.

Agreed. The automatic assumption that if you are flying a Colombian flag that you are not proud of America or patriotic is absurd. Sometimes I fly the Polish flag in my car and sometimes it's the american flag, they don't make a whole lot of combo flags for me to do both at the same time.

If they are small enough perhaps you can sew the edges together the US flag on top and the other inderneath it. Then affix it to a single something? How about a sticker of each flag to put in a rear window? There is nothing wrong with being a proud American.

Well my beef is that folks fly other country's flags, and not the stars and stripes as well. I'm good with seeing all sorts of flags, but pay some tribute to your adopted homeland. That's all.

I see this often.

I think the flag business was born of naval wars eons ago. The problem today is not every one has national or even comminity pride or even knows what it is. My personal beef is with the haters who disrespect the flag of their fathers and their homeland. .
