It's not technically a "National" monument, it's a "National Historic Landmark", like the capitol building. I gave it a little thought and it's all the same shit to me.
Texas, I love the shit outta that state

I can think of worse vacation ideas than to visit the hundred or so national Monuments, or perhaps the natutral ones and the indigenous culture sites. My interest in the postcolonial structures is lesser. cn

except at the state capitol, right?
The original point wasn't whether people in Texas do fly their flags even with the US flag but whether Texas is given special permission in exclusion to all other states and that answer is obviously no. It was also pointed out that if they are flown on separate flag poles, it isn't the height but the US flag is flown to the right.

No, the original argument was that we DO, and are ALLOWED to.
If I give you the middle finger, and you don't do anything about it. You are ALLOWING it, and I don't need PERMISSION.
And that picture was probably Photoshopped for Textbooks in Oklahoma.

Just because some stupid Texans don't follow the rules does not mean that they were allowed to do so.

Every state flag is allowed to fly at the same height as the American flag IF THEY ARE ON SEPARATE POLES. That you don't understand the rules of flying the flag does not mean the argument was changed. You said, "It is the only state that can honorably fly it's flag as high as the American flag." This is clearly untrue. Your state flag is supposed to follow the exact same rules as every other state. Other states can fly at the same height but the US flag still gets the place of honor at the right. If they are on the same flagpole the Texas flag is flown below the US flag. You are promoting an urban rumor that has been debunked in this thread and yet you still believe it.

It's impossible to fly two flags equally on 1 pole.
And I never said that they fly the Texas flag HIGHER than the American flag.So
those pictures go with what I said, I just don't see why the capitol only has one flag pole.

No one stops them. So yes, by definition, that's EXACTLY what they are. ALLOWED.

No they don't. I've been on plenty of Airplanes and Greyhounds to know that that's bullshit. Other states almost ALWAYS get a bigger pole for the American flag. Banks, Embassy's, All of them.

It can be done, but the two flags have to be very good friends. cn

What, you think there are flag police or something? Not being stopped does not equate to being given explicit permission to honorably fly the flag in a way other states are not. Are you allowed to grow marijuana in Texas as long as the cops don't find out and stop you?
Your claim was that Texas has different rules than other states wrt flags. That is clearly been shown to be bullshit. Try to twist the words all you want but your original claim is debunked.
Quit trying to defend a stupid bullshit claim when you have been given clear evidence that you are wrong. It just continues to make you look like the dumbfuck many people already think you are.

No YOU GUYS are being the flag police. I'm just stating what Texas does.
Yes..
If there is no law against it, you ARE allowed to grow Marijuana.
Just look at New Mexico, they can even legally grow mushrooms just because of that fact.
And once I go tell (remind) everyone it's legal religiously in Texas, we can grow weed there too.
