As has been said, the holiday celebrating the birth of a nation is not a holiday celebrating the birth of another nation.
People have the right to do this, but a person exercising that right also demonstrates something about themself. Who would actually want to fly the flag of another nation on a national holiday like that? I think there is a valid reason to question the people doing so, even if it is legal and cannot rightfully be outlawed. It's basically wearing a t-shirt that says "hey, everybody, I'm a dick!" Again, not sure why someone would want to label themselves like that, but whatever, some people seem to like doing things and being abrasive just because they can. Since I can't really think of another kind of person who would do this, any backlash is likely only reinforcing why they would do it. Don't feed the trolls.
