Lawful government protects innocents. Conservation of the (King's/Queen's/People's) peace is the duty of every official to some extent. It is outside the scope of authority of the United States of America and its political subdivisions to authorize or license casual abortions especially late-term abortions. Those who license that kind of thing do it on their own personal liability IMHO. Similarly, any wars perpetrated unlawfully by a so-called government official are personal wars. I suspect that it may be that the U.S. flag flies backwards because they cannot lawfully do those things under U.S. law. On the surface, blame goes on the U.S.A. while everyone knows the canton must fly to the left--thusly it is not the U.S.A. flag--AFAIK, that practice started under Lyndon B. Johnson's administration. Similar idea re: abortions above.
That is not a U.S.A. flag. The canton is in the wrong position from a heraldry perspective. The shoulder is not treated as a flag pole but as a flag mounted to a wall. Seven stripes are in a superior position to the 50 stars.
Similarly, Hitler called upon his staff to help him find ways to bypass the German constitution. Gets back to syncretism. UN jurisdiction, international venues: different venue with different "laws". Note the below photos, the boyscouts and the Air Force soccer team somehow manage to have the flag right. Playing soccer and doing Boy Scout things are lawful.
Its definitely not in the 'distress' position.
Note: Texas officials didn't find 'flying' the license plate the wrong way to be acceptable. So why would flying the flag backwards acceptable?
