I would let it fly. If people can fly their rebel, nazi, and gay pride flags then we can fly our countries flag, and me being ex-navy, my favorite flag is the ensign used to denote the oldest ship in commission, and that is the old "Don't Tread on Me" flag.

Thanks so much, I am going to make this picture much bigger and place it on the side of my house so he can see it! Then let him come and complain to me that he doesn't like my flag! I will show him a flag! LOL Thanks for taking the time to find the pic for me!

Original Navy Ensign - "Don't Tread On Me".
I went on line and found a flag for you to fly for your neighbor! Maybe they will catch the hint of the words!

Probably not,but it really depends on why he did not like the flag and what was on the flag. If it was something he found offensive, I would just move it. If he was just being a jerk, I would buy a bigger one!

Because he doesn't like lookin at the American flag! So, me being a big mouth, I told him to go back to his country...I should have never said that, cause that is just not me, but I have gotten tired of listening to him complain about the American Flag

depends whats on the flag, but other than that I would tell them to go back to their own country. I say that because most americans don't complain about the flag. If it's offensive then don't look at it.

Your right, if it is something you don't like, then don't look! That is my point! It's not like its placed in HIS front window or something...He is just being an *** !

No I would not remove it but I would move it to a different spot if possible. I would not have it where he would have to see it as he moved around his yard maybe, but it is my right to display the flag on my own property especially if I own the property, which I do. If in retaliation he would put up a flag promoting something other than my choice of patriotism, I would not comment on it to him as that is his right to do that. It's all about freedom, which the neighbor and I both have the right to show.

There are many HOA (home owners associations) that have rules about when and how big of a flag you can fly. If you move into a home governed by a HOA you agree to abide by their rules. Unfortunately...mre and more neighborhoods have adopted this and it's hard to get away from... Where I live it is not a problem....I don't have any neighbors except for a few houses I cannot see, a ranger station and a sheriff's sub station and you can bet they fly their flags!

Man you´re in your country, you´re proud to be an American, why not. Your neighbor must be shame of telling you to take off your flag. everybody it´s free to show your nationality. I give you an example, here in Portugal started an tradition. When Portugal organized the Football Eurocup 2004, our coach tell that a way to the people support Portugal national side was to put a flag in a window.Since then everytime are a Euro or Worldcup we put our flags flying. And when the World Cup 2006 was on the run, we can see in windows all over the place flags from Portugal, Brasil, Angola even USA, and nobody disagree. Freedom is the word.

I don't really understand why your neighbor would want you to move it, if it's a national flag. What kind of flag is it?

Earth Girl - Love this
If I am sportin the American flad then my answer is NO I have aright to support my country no matter what. If it is a flag just for fun then it would depend on what it is and what my neighbors reason is. I wouldent take it down unless they gave a legit reason.

If I were located in another country, other than my home, I would respect the native people and place my flag iside where only me and mine had to look at it if it was offensive for some reason. But On my native soil, my country, where my fore fathers have shed their blood defending/preserving our way of life...Sorry neighbor but the Stars and Stripes ain't coming down. The flag is our country "standard". It represents our beleif system, our way of life and everything we have fought for as a nation, as a people. If the neighbor were a reasonable individual, open to intelligent adult discussion, I would try and gently explain why I fly my flag proudly and why it is offensive to me for him/her to even ask for it to be removed.

Everyone has the right to display their personal choices, I wouldn't remove the flag, however I wouldn't expect the neighbor to constantly complain about it either.

We still do have some freedoms left. One question though. What is on your flag?
