Why should they not be able to? I flew multiple flags during the World Cup...
You'd see a ton of Haitian and Cuban flags if you visited Florida. I see nothing wrong with it.
Oh. Well I was thinking on our first date we could go around lighting other nations flags on fire but you just RUINED it! Do you like fondue?
It's their constitutional right, enough said.
I like fondue, but not the cheese kind.

The one referencing freedom of speech, probably.Which one?
Which one?
Pretty much said it all in terms of the OP's question.
I'll even go a step further and say I have no problem with people displaying pride in their ethnic heritage. I don't wave an Italian flag, but I'm quite proud to be Italian and display my pride in my heritage mostly through food and family traditions.
I live in Chicago and we have many people from other nations. There are especially two types that like to fly THIER nations flag all over the place. In their cars, on their houses and in front of their businesses. Im talking about the Mexicans and the Polish.
My question to you is should they be able to fly those flags in America?
There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all... The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic... There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

As long as it's not part of a protest, I've got no problem with people flying flags from other countries. If they're marching down the street with picket signs and foreign flags, that's just one more reason for them to get the hose.
