Veterans angry over American flag featuring Obama

aristotle · Mar 14, 2012

Saw this today on Drudge Report, CNN and Fox News. It's a story out of Florida where some local veterans were enraged to see an American flag with Obama's likeness superimposed on Old Glory. The flag was flying on the premises of a local Democrat Party headquarters.

Yeahhhhhh I saw the flag with his picture on it, Kinda makes ya sick! Didn't saddam hussein have his picture on Iraqs flag too or am I mistaken?

A few thoughts on this topic... I am surprised this Obama flag flew for a couple weeks in Florida before anyone protested. In many parts of our country, flying the Obama flag might be construed as an incitement to violence or hatred, much as "fighting words" are deliberately used to incite violence or hatred. If this is an indication of the rabid fanaticism of the Left, lets hope cooler heads prevail. Surely, the DNC knows better than to use the American flag in such a divisive way, even though the local Dems in Lake County, Florida didn't know or didn't care.

I can't say as I blame them. I wouldn't want to see the flag with Bush's photo on it either. It wouldn't be as nauseating but still would be wrong.

The flag's not illegal or anything. It's stupid, though. And flying it is even stupider. Veterans and regular citizens alike should be outraged over it, regardless of political affiliation.

Barack Hussein Obama pledged to "fundamentally transform" the United States of America. He and the Democrats are doing their best to keep that campaign pledge, and in doing so he's compiling the worst record of any president in the country's history. In spite of the damage that he's done to our economy, foreign affairs and society in general the mainstream media remains biased in his favor to a disgraceful degree. It's little incidents like this one that illustrate the "transformation" that's been incrementally taking place.

Not likely to see a Washington flag near a Democrat Party headquarters.

Washington was the wrong demographic. Rich white aristocrat. Plantation owner. Slave owner. Father of our country. Helped fund the Revolutionary War from his own pocket. Risked his life many times in battle. Elected President by acclamation. No, the villification of Washington will not cease.
