When I saw these flags recently while driving through Tennessee, I stopped. Not only did I want to take a photo of the unusual arrangement, but I also wanted to congratulate the proprietor of the business for his bold stand. He said a few misguided people before me had stopped to complain that the U.S. flag should be on top but I was the first to thank him for putting the Christian flag in that position.
Flags sharing the same pole should have the flag with the highest authority on top and the flags of lower authority in descending order. The man who fly’s these flags is saying that he is a Christian first, an American second, and a Tennessean third.
Actually, I told him that I felt a more historic order would be Christian first, Tennessee second and United States third. Almost everyone in America saw it that way until 1861, when Abraham Lincoln trampled the Constitution and forcefully elevated the Federal government above the states in his illegal invasion and subjugation of South.
