What's with Democrats and trashing the flag? (Don't bother answering, it's a rhetorical question.)

Posted on 09/07/2008 11:47:34 AM PDT by Maceman

OK, so we have Biden trashing the flag, and Obama's good friend William Ayers trashing the flag (long after Obama was 8 years old), and hordes of Democrat delegates trashing the flag.

What we need to realize is that to the Democrats, trashing the flag is an act of artistic expression, worthy of public funding with tax dollars.

Don't believe me? Check out the Youtube video of this "art project" at the taxpayer funded University of Maine.

Simple....

'Trashing the flag' always FIRES UP THE ANTI-AMERICAN, FAR-LEFT BASE (who do you think was at the convention?).

Marxist mad bomber, Obama close friend/business partner in crooked money siphoning non-profit, and the launcher of Obama's "career" Bill Ayers defiling an American Flag last year. Sets the tone for the democrats.

And again, they wonder why we question their patriotism....The answer might be that they don't freakin have any.

'Trashing the flag'???

It's to be expected. That's just what democrats do. It just comes natural--the way that flying comes to birds.

I wouldn't have assaulted anybody, but I like to think I would have just started picking up the flags off the floor, and would gladly have allowed myself to be arrested for malicious destruction of property. I wish the veteran in the video would have done that.

Not to mention Hussein’s refusal to ‘put his hand over his heart’ during the playing of the National Anthem,,,,or his refusal to wear a ‘flag pin’ (until the pressure got too great). Unbelievable.

I would have picked up the flag and as soon as that idiot tried to stop me... he would suddenly awake to mass confusion and a paramadic saying “don’t worry we are on the way to the hospital, you should make it”

Victor Davis Hanson sums up the insanity, we are seeing from the Obama team and Obama mediots:

"If the post-Speech reaction of the talking heads at CNN, PBS and MSBNC, or the op-ed ravings of Gloria Steinem, Maureen Dowd, Eleanor Clift or Sally Quinn are any indication, the Secret Service better enlist the Alaskan National Guard for help ensuring the Alaskan Governor’s safety.

"A beautiful, confident, articulate, independent, accomplished—and conservative—woman apparently has enraged Team Obama, the mainstream media, and the entire American intelligentsia, as if they were collectively hit by a cruise missile aimed from Middle America.

When Palin talks about her present life it sounds as authentic as Biden’s showy populism came off as false. Enraged feminists are apparently the gatekeepers for less well-educated American women, who are supposed to have 0-1.5 children not 5! Their husbands must be professors, lawyers, CEOs, editors—not snowmobile champions, union members, oil workers, and fishermen—or, worse, all in one! And unlike a Pelosi, Quinn, or Clinton, Palin, God forbid, did not rely on a powerful, wealthy husband or father to energize her career. Worse still, she took no women’s studies class, never attended the Ivy League, and shoots moose. The danger is not just that Sarah Palin could win McCain the election, but she could expose the entire flimsy structure of doctrinaire liberalism as the hypocrisy—and chauvinism—it has become."

Missing from this great photo: Sarah’s son, who will be on active duty soon. Three of John McCain's sons, have have carried on the family military tradition, with Doug McCain serving as a Navy pilot, now out of the Navy, Jack McCain soon to graduate from the Naval Academy, and Jimmy McCain enlisting in the Marines at the age of 17. The latter returned home safely from his seven-month tour of duty in Iraq in February 2008

Go look at DU and see how many posters there use an upside-down flag as their avatar. The radical left hates everything America stands for, simple as that.

It WAS a strange sight - all those 'demfolks' waving flags. My first thought was - that for the majority - it was the 'first time' their hands, held the 'red/white and blue'.

. . .and clearly, given the 'left-overs' they intended it to be the 'last time'.

To All...

Guys and gals there is a very easy thing to make this go back into the hole it crawled out of...So easy it might almost need not to be said...

Come that nice, bright, crisp November morning (dispite the weather, no really...hehehe) All you have to do is show up and do what we know we have to do...

I am on record not being the biggest supporter of John McCain (politically), I have a few fundamental differences of opinion with him...It is not personal, and I will never disrespect a fellow veteran’s service to this country...

But I know that I will enthusiastically vote for this ticket because the alternative, yet again, by the democrat party is simply unpalletable...

Besides, the next best thing is that Sarah Palin is closer to being President than Hillary every will be for the rest of her life...And that is priceless...
