The flag is always placed in the position of honor, which is to the right of a speaker or group; therefore the position of honor to a flag is to the flag's right, or the viewer's left. Blue represents justice, and the stars are "a symbol of the heavens and the divine goal to which man has aspired from time immemorial." I think, therefore, that it is safe to surmise that since this is a country founded upon faith in God, that the symbols of justice and the divine heavens should go to the position of honor on a flag; hence we display a flag on a wall with the blue field to the flag's right, or the viewer's left.
Thank you to Aaron Klien for researching this!
