Dutch flags in the US.... WHY?

It was probably Gay Pride week.

My guess:
Dumb Americans see red white and blue and think "same colors"

No, but i saw alot of US/RAINBOW flags in your town...

My first guess also, but some said "OPEN" our "SALE" in the white stripe..

Other guess was, hey Dutch people own these stores, but that didn't float also..

Man, that was a snappy comeback!

Are the flags hanging from the trees?

Did you know the Dutch own US trees? If you dont believe me ask Kingsman

Because Red, White and Blue is a nation/tribe in the Nation of Israel, USA/Canada is the Tribe of Joseph---Netherlands/Dutch Holland----is also in the Nation of Israel..

Great Britian, also Red White and Blue (a cross) is Ephriam, the YOUNGEST child of Joseph/Rachel---Mannasseh is the oldest and firstborn----Joseph was split between Ephriam and Mannasseh (Ephriam is a multitude of nations and would be great then fall---joined to satan--Rothschilds own Great Brittian--the Queen is joined at the hip to Devil Worship/Rothschilds) This is why God says leave Ephriam alone in the last days

---Double Blessed Firstborn--Joseph is the FRISTBORN of Jacob and his Rachel and Mannasseh is the Firstborn of Joseph----HENCE DOUBLE BLESSED=== USA AND CANADA---A GREAT PEOPLE---THAT NEVER FALL FROM GREATNESS!

GENESIS CHP 49 tells about all 12 tribes in the last day--told to Jacob by God Almighty---he repeated it on his death bed....

No, they were hanging at shops.
Also we drove through Florida and saw alot of these flags at Palm nursery's and other shops.

Were they selling tulip bulbs? As a Dutch-American, I'm quite proud of my Dutch heritage and see nothing wrong with flying the Dutch flag. Nationalism is so 20th century and America was always a melting pot.

No they were selling all kind of stuff, from liqour to palmtrees ;)

We first thought of Dutch people living there and having a shop.

And i second your thoughts of seeing nothing wrong with beging proud of your heritage.. We sold NYC for 1$ to your elders... studid great-great-great-great-great-grandfathern....

Yes, but you got Suriname in exchange...oh, nevermind.

Oh snap!

And to cover your tables in a patriotic way:

Now I suspect you won't use the stars and stripes just in case someone disrespectfuly spills food on it. It's ok of course to spill food on a Dutch flag

hehehe :(

(can't post the app smilie)

I don't know what's more stupid: The OP's troll about red, white and blue banners with "SALE" printed on them hanging in front of stores, or you with your crazy IT'S ISRAEL!!!!! I_AM_AN_ILLITERATE_RACISTOOOOOSSSSSSS!!!! shit.

Nah.. you know we use the German flag as table cloth here ;)

The op's troll?

So I can't ask a question why you are using our Dutch flag in the US?

That's a troll? dude.. seriously gtfo

Because their revolution of 1568 formed the template of the american revolution and the subsequent drafting of the constitution, their being first to acknowledge the US as an independent state and BTW founding new Amsterdam (NY) and with that the introduction of a pure dutch way of capitalism and citizenship to what only later would be known as the united states of america, not unlike the united states (Provinces) of the Netherlands that exists since 1648,won by an 80 year war against (foreign) royal opression.

that's pretty cool how you wrote "RACISTOOOOOSSSSSSS"!!!1

If you do a search for 'sale' flag you see a bunch of similar ones.

It's just a color scheme that catches people's eye without being obviously an 'American' flag. Pretty much no one here has any idea what a Dutch flag looks like so there is really no danger of confusion... with the exception of the stray Dutch tourist.

pretty sure it's a French flag turned on its side!!!
