I don't think anyone here is saying you don't have the right. I'm saying flying a flag over a government building makes perfect sense, it marks it as a government building giving the flag a practical use, look up and say hey that building must be some sort of official government thing. Flying a flag from a ship tells you where it comes from when you're on the high seas or in a foreign port. These flags serve a useful purpose as would a flag patch on an official uniform. I'm clueless what purpose is served by flying one over a Walmart. What message is being sent and what does it imply about people who aren't flying a flag? Does a flag over walmart mean they're a governemnt building does the corporation own us? Could i vote for target and then the get the flag?

The problem is I see a flag as a useful tool like a pencil.
