Yes, the way to get your message across is to arbitrarily turn the flag upside down and fly something above it so the government gets the point that "You are displeased."

Now, don't you think there might be a few more mature and fruitful ways to show your distaste than to turn the flag upside down? There's a reason the flag is held so sacred in our country, and you nor those other high school retards get it.
