All this right wing bastardization of the flag being represented in the wrong colors or with blue stripes should be criminal as well, along with shirts and hats and other items of apparel. I can't help but think batshit crazy right wingers all decked out in their flag regalia are anything but a disgrace to this country and it's flag.
