I have an American flag window cling on my car. When I first put it on there, a woman I worked with saw it and said "But you hate Bush, you don't support anything he does, and you're a total liberal. Why do you have a flag on your car?"
"Because," I said. "I love this country, no matter what I think of our government." She thought about it for a moment, then nodded.
Flaming liberals have just as much right to the flag as lockstep conservatives. They don't get to "own" it.
