Oh... that's why they were selling patriotic t-shirts today at Kohl's. (I bought two.)
Is flying the us flag pc ?

That's pretty much a fantasy. You can't walk a block most anywhere in America without seeing several American flags displayed in one way or another, so the whole question of it being "PC" or "not PC" is moot and nothing but someone's talking point.
And yet such people exist, and are therefore not a fantasy.

My mother flies an American flag, me personally I refuse too.
1) Being in a mix nationality marriage, I find it insulting to my wife's family to fly a US flag and not a Canadian one as well-- and yes, comments were made.
2) Considering that I'm planning on giving up US citizenship in the next half-decade, I see it as a bit hypocritical.

I didn't even know that today was Flag Day. Totally forgot about it.

People disgusted with blind patriotism become blind anti-patriots, then to these anti-patriots the U.S. flag becomes A PERSONAL COMPUTER.
Wait, that didn't turn out write.

I need to replace my flag as it's a bit tattered and faded, but I flew an American flag on my balcony, here in Toronto, for years. I'm likely going to apply for Canadian citizenship later this year, and have dual, but I know where my patriotic heart lies.
I want to try to find a replacement flag before Independence Day.

We don't fly a U.S. flag around here for two reasons:
1) It's an apartment complex.
2) We would probably get shot at.

By killing people?!
I buy new flags every few months for the house, I fly 2 of them all the time. One in the front and one in the back.
Yes. I live here!This is very true, actually. Six months or so ago there was a controversial moment when Devon County Council were told that it's illegal to fly anything other than the Union Flag on government buildings. I don't know whether or not that persuaded them to take down the Devon flag.
There must not be such a law down here in Tasmania. I have seen government buildings flying the following flags here
1) The Australian Flag
2) The Tasmanian Flag
3) The Aboriginal Flag
and down in Salamanca Place the Dutch flag flies over government land - fluttering, along with the Australian flag, over the monument to Dutchman Abel Tasman.

Actually, it's a total error - not on your part, I hasten to add, but on those who tell councils this. It has flared up repeatedly across the country, fuelled by "ZOMG OUR NASHNUL IDENTITY!" stuff in the Fail and so it doesn't surprise me that many people even in authority believe it to be true. But I'd love to see the actual legislation that says it is prohibited to fly anything other than the Union Flag from a government building.
There's money to be made. I celebrated Flag Day by doing the American thing and spending money!
Flags are for sporting events I own a HUGE one big enough to go around my sofa
. I will never get this American flag fetish
