Upside Down Flags Again

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.
