Displays of patriotism need to be kept to people's personal property. I doubt that it is even legal to post flags on public property -- after all, it isn't legal to post signs on public property, so why are flags any different? And if some of those flags ended up on private property, that certainly wasn't legal (unless the property owners agreed).
We are all patriots -- even a person with contrary views like me -- but it needs to be said that the American flag isn't just the flag any more; it has become a symbol of conservative ideology. That's why I'll never wear one on my clothes. Furthermore, let's not forget that the "most patriotic town in America" was heavily involved in the slave trade. Bristol originally adopted patriotism as a way to put a happy face on the immoral industry it fostered.
