Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

If you happen to think burning the flag is disrespectful, why are you talking about disrespecting the lives that bled to keep the flag red by hanging it upside down just because you're angry about how the election went? From your perspective, how is that not terribly disrespectful?
Is America in distress?,...many of us think it is.
Is displaying the flag upside down a protest?...or a call for help!

Burning the flag (is YOUR right)
Displaying it upside down is his.
I dont think it's in protest, I think we're in real trouble!

WOW, everyone really does have allot of good points. quite honestly i don't know what i really think of burning the flag or flying it upside down, i just feel that everyone has the right to THEIR own opinions & views.when i picked my 12 yr old son up last night him & i were talking about the man that was flying it upside down & when we were going to get my daughter from work he asked me if i would take him by it, so i was headed there & my daughter said that he had taken it down that same morning BUT ONLY BECAUSE A LONG TIME EMPLOYEE HAD QUIT ON HIM, HE DIDN'T WANT THAT, however i said it before, he should be able to view his beliefs & what he feels, IT'S A FREE COUNTRY!!!! i'm sure that his employee voices his opinion & views on others, WHY CAN'T HIS BOSS OR ANYONE ELSE? I GUESS IT'S THAT DOUBLE STANDARD THING HUH!!! you can do it but no one else can, i got rid of a man like that after putting up with him for 14 yrs. my son was for obama & i can guarantee you that his dad was mad as hell but probably did not voice it to our son, i would not tolerate that. his dad, ONE HELL OF A RACIST, IF YOU'RE NOT WHITE GET OUT OF THE UNITED STATES, his views not mine. i do believe though that if you apply for a job that requires experience then you SHOULD have to have it before taking that job from someone that has earned it. my sons dads employer was made to hire a minority, so he got him out of the hall, kept him for 2 days & got rid of him, i had a problem with this but the man did not know how to run the equipment so he did not deserve to be there, they run heavy equipment like earthmovers ( hopefully you all know what that is) these are freaking huge machines & can be very dangerous if not operated correctly, there for if you can't operate it correctly go learn how then come back & try for the job again. anywho, i'm really glad i posted this thread, i mean i already knew peoples opinions just wondered what everyone thought of someone actually flying the flag upside down & i got it. for someone that's not into politics i sure am starting to get into it over this, NOT SURE IF THAT'S A GOOD THING OR NOT!!!! well i hope everyone continues to keep their own opinions & feels that they can voice them & not care what others think of them, IT IS YOUR RIGHT!!! have a good day everyone

I don't feel that you can compare the burning of the flag with the flying it upside down.

Burning the flag is a show of disrespect for the country.

Flying it upside down is a cry for help..

Burning the flag is the proper way of disposal of an old flag not to be flown anymore.

Burning the flag for any other reason is wrong and disrespectful.
