The Real Reason Obama Fears 9-11 Is Scientific (Exposure to the American flag boosts Republicans.)
theGatewayPundit.com ^ | September 10, 2011 | Jim Hoft

Posted on 09/10/2011 6:22:06 AM PDT by SanFranDan

During his first year in office, Barack Obama announced that 9-11 would officially be declared a day of community service. It was actually his radical green czar’s idea.

First Lady Michelle Obama wore a $207.90 T-shirt by Tom Binns and John Eshaya at a National Day of Service and Remembrance event at the Vinson Hall Retirement Community in McLean, Va. on September 11, 2010.

There’s a reason why Barack Obama and democrats fears 9-11 – It’s the same reason that they fear Independence Day. It’s scientific.

Exposure to the American flag only boosts Republicans.

A recent study found that even a brief exposure to an American flag shifts voters to Republican beliefs, attitudes and voting behavior.

Via US News and World Report:

Just a brief exposure to an image of the American flag shifts voters, even Democrats, to Republican beliefs, attitudes and voting behavior even though most don’t believe it will impact their politics, according to a new two-year study just published in the scholarly Psychological Science.

What’s more, according to three authors from the University Chicago, Cornell University and Hebrew University, the impact had staying power.

“A single exposure to an American flag resulted in a significant increase in participants’ Republican voting intentions, voting behavior, political beliefs, and implicit and explicit attitudes, with some effects lasting 8 months,” the study found. “These results constitute the first evidence that nonconscious priming effects from exposure to a national flag can bias the citizenry toward one political party and can have considerable durability.”

...along with the Constitution which they REALLY fear and hate. The Constitution put's 'em in their place if it's ever enforced.

He fears it mostly because he fears trying to hide his TRUE feelings about it before the eyes of the nation.

No fear, Hussein’s milking 9/11 for all it’s worth.

Anyone remember all the left wing freaks telling GW five years ago that he BETTER NOT politicize 9/11 on the anniversary?

I’m going to be doing what I did 5 years ago and not sell myself to Hussein’s campaign gimmick.

And I’m going on record by saying whatever “incidents” that happen tomorrow are orchestrated by Hussein’s fan club to make him look better.

Hussein paid 25 SEALs to his terrorist buddies for safe passage through this weekend.

Shock Study: U.S. Flag Only Boosts GOP.

"A single exposure to an American flag resulted in a significant increase in participants' Republican voting intentions, voting behavior, political beliefs, and implicit and explicit attitudes, with some effects lasting 8 months," the study found."

 

WHAT YOU CAN DO

From Sea to Shining Sea...

The raising of 20 million flags.

Every American family should make a bold statement of patriotism every day, not just on the Fourth of July, and have a United States flag on prominent display in their front yard, their windows, their car, or any...where others will see it... and be inspired.

... Our flag was meant to unify, not divide, and is the symbol of our liberty, freedom, and pride. It is also a message to our brave soldiers that we are proud of their efforts, and that we support them at home.

I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Please pay tribute to the GREATEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD and Get that GREAT FLAG FLYING...

If Not Now, WHEN?.. If Not Us, WHO?


Many, many people (too many) claim they are too busy to do anything to help in the effort to pull America back from the brink due to the Obama agenda...  Here is something small, something important, something wonderful, each and every one of us can do - over and over - from this moment until Election Day, 2012. The effect it may have on the outcome of Election 2012 is but one of the many positives that can derive from blanketing the American landscape with our pride and our banner, sustained by generations of  American heroes, who gave their lives to keep it flying free. It may sound trite, sentimental, old-fashioned and bygone - but it is time for the people who are proud of this nation to make a statement... quietly, continually, with dedication and commitment.  Over and over again.

Fly a flag, and then another; buy some flags and give them away; then do it over and over and over again... 

American flag3

 ... from sea to shining sea.

I'm surprised New York Mayor Nanny Bloomberg hasn't outlawed the American
flag and displays of patriotism at the 9/11 memorial event as divisive and Islamophobic.

But perhaps he has and the information just hasn't yet been publicized.

I’m going out today and buy a new flag to replace the dull one on the house
that we put up right after 9-11 as did many others in my neighborhood.

Wonder if I can find a MADE IN AMERICA flag.

American flags EVERYWHERE. When the 2012 election cycle comes around, plaster the country with American flags - everywhere. Show the commies they don't stand a chance. The American citizens are stronger than they are.

"The raised fist (also known as the clenched fist) is a salute and logo most often used by left-wing activists, such as: Marxists, anarchists, socialists, communists, pacifists, trade unionists, and black nationalists. The raised fist is usually regarded as an expression of solidarity, strength or defiance."

Anarcho-syndicalism


A common Anarcho-Syndicalist flag.

In the early 20th century, anarcho-syndicalism arose as a distinct school of thought within anarchism.[78] With greater focus on the labour movement than previous forms of anarchism, syndicalism posits radical trade unions as a potential force for revolutionary social change, replacing capitalism and the state with a new society, democratically self-managed by the workers.

Anarcho-syndicalists seek to abolish the wage system and private ownership of the means of production, which they believe lead to class divisions. Important principles include workers' solidarity, direct action (such as general strikes and workplace recuperations), and workers' self-management. This is compatible with other branches of anarchism, and anarcho-syndicalists often subscribe to anarchist communist or collectivist anarchist economic systems.[79] Its advocates propose labour organization as a means to create the foundations of a non-hierarchical anarchist society within the current system and bring about social revolution.

Exclusive: Bill Ayers Talks About Election Night in Grant Park

From NBC Chicago, Jan 21, 2009:

Bill Ayers was "overflowing with happiness, relief, love" when he and his wife went to Grant Park with tens of thousands of Chicagoans to celebrate the election of President Barack Obama.

Ayers and his wife, Bernardine Dohrn, spoke exclusively with NBC Chicago's Dick Johnson about why they joined the Election Night celebration in the park, where 40 years before they helped stage the Days of Rage riots.

The couple said they got last-minute tickets from a friend to be in Grant Park that night.

"I couldn't stop crying a couple of times. I found the exact spot where I was beaten 40 years ago," Ayers said. "But I've never been in a crowd that large that wasn't edged with either anger or drunkenness or gluttony, and it was really an extraordinary feeling."

I bought a gigantic flag for my driveway. It is the bus stop for four buses of kids in the morning.

I always say, the US flag to a communist is like a cross to a vampire.
