Self-hating Americans

After hearing about this, I thought to myself; When, if ever, is it inappropriate to display an American flag? I have pondered it, and I have failed to come up with a scenario where I think it could be offensive, or disorderly. I suppose the sub-human scum down in Gitmo may take offense to the flying of Old Glory, and it may be an unwelcome sight in some Afghani caves, but how the hell do American citizens find it distasteful?
The most outrageous part of the story is that the ACLU defends the supervisor saying, when at work, your boss owns you. Imagine if the supervisor had told an employee to cut their dreadlocks, or take down a Hispanic heritage themed item, or remove a rainbow sticker, you know the ACLU would turn that fight into a championship title bout!
So if this guy can't fly his flag, I'll fly one for him, and I'll be flying my middle finger at self hating Americans while I'm at it!
