I wouldn't do it. There are plenty of red, white and blue items for decorating without having to actually use a flag. My boyfriend calls HGTV Homo and Gay TV.

They are probably going to replace the American Flag with Obama's symbol.

I always thought that a flag was supposed to be on a pole and waved or displayed. I see ppl tie them around their backs like a cape or wear it as a skirt or a top. I am an American by birth but my parents are naturalized Americans, tax paying citizens in this country for forty years and even they think its disrespectful.

American currency is so worthless it has become an object of ridicule, so I suppose it was only a matter of time before the flag followed suit.
