During the Clinton years, some conservatives flew their flags upside down in protest of his presidency. That was a legitimate use of a symbol of distress.
Then, during the Bush years, some left-wingers flew them upside down to protest the Iraq War or crackdowns on illegal immigration. Right-wingers said that was unAmerican.
Now, some conservatives are flying their flags upside down again. It's apparently no longer unAmerican. It is once more a legitimate use of a symbol of distress.
"There are men, in all ages, who mean to exercise power usefully; but who mean to exercise it. They mean to govern well; but they mean to govern. They promise to be kind masters; but they mean to be masters." Daniel Webster
