    “All this just for a damn flag?”….Michelle Obama

    • http://gravatar.com/hattles JeffH

      :) She’s a real patriotic 1st lady(?) isn’t she?

    • http://naver sook young

      Yes, I know. We watched her say that on Youtube. She is a disgrace to this country and not a real woman. Thank you.

      Michleel O made me sick when she said that at a military ritual. But I got sicker when I saw the PRESIDENT shake his head and agree with her!

      • http://CNN Glory

        Excuse me! What kind of remark is that from a first lady – “all this because of a damn flag”. Does she feel this is a damn country too? I know when the election took place, she stated “this is the first time I have been proud of America!!!!!!! What does she want? Kenya? I don’t think she would get treated to trips all over the place at our expense in any other place.

  • judy

    I understand you can buy the fag flag Im going to buy one for Flag Retirement Day in June and burn the hell out of it.

    • http://gravatar.com/hattles JeffH

      I believe that this particular flag is selling on ebay…for around $135+-…at least burning this particular flag would only insult the Obamarats and no one else. :)

  • Marlene

    Personally, I was insulted over Biden’s remark that Republicans don’t know what it’s like to be middle class. What a Democrat mascot! I’ve never been middle class since I’ve always earned a low income, no matter how many jobs I stuffed into 24 hours but, as long as I collected paychecks, I felt secure and comfortable. In part, it was because I had self-respect for supporting myself. This dolt who has the title of Vice-President, hasn’t a clue what the middle class is about or what it’s like to not be born into the privileged status. He doesn’t represent anyone I know, nor does his master Obama. Ben C. is correct to make fun of Mister-Foot-in-Mouth.

  • Palin16

    Well folks, it’s the weekend and I’m having a champagne celebration in honor of Blagojovich going to prison.
    Blago speeches then and now:
    Then (on wiretap) “I’m sick of this boring job as governor. Wish I could be an ambassador.”
    Now (in front of the TV cameras): “It has been an honor to serve as governor of Illinois. I have always done my best for the people of Illinois.”
    Cheers!

    • chuckb

      palin 16, it would be very interesting to know what really happened in the blagojovich case. somehow i think barry and ron emanuel were invbolved up to their necks in this situation and if the truth was known, blago took the rap to protect barry and will not come close to serving his term. barry, emanuel and blago are so crooked they will reach around a telephone pole and steal their own hat. wonder how rich he will be when his release comes about. and there’s always jesse jackson and son, wonder what their involvement was. if blagojovich had talked, the state would still be looking for his body, something like james hoffa.

      • Palin16

        My guess is Obummer will pardon Blago after the election. I can see Blago now screaming if Obama hadn’t vacated his senate seat I wouldn’t be in prison now.

      • http://gravatar.com/hattles JeffH

        Palin16, naw, wouldn’t expect so…Obama has no qualms about tossing anybody under the bus…use ‘em then abuse ‘em…Arlen Specter come to mind right away.

  • Neil Swan

    Glory apparently you are with the religious right who are against the constitution. The constitution isn’t for pushing religion down your throat. You can be of any religion or none.
    And taxpayers shouid never pay to have religion taught in public schools.
    Go to church or sunday school to follow your religion. People born homosexuals should have equal rights too. Religious law is banned in this country, but the religious right like they do in all their countries are trying to push their concepts down everyones throat.

    Neil

    • http://CNN Glory

      You are correct about having the right to believe as you wish. What I don’t want is pushing others views on my life. It is still a free country, and my wish is not to teach children wrong ethicts. They need to be free from those things until they are old enough to understand life and make their own decisions. And yes, I am for small government, freedon from tyrany and freedom of speech and religion for all, and I whole hearedly believe in our Constitution.

      • Toxick1

        Education instead of indoctrination in the schools

    • http://naver sook young

      No we are not against the Constitution, who told you that? Are you an atheist? They are always saying childish things like this. Way do you bring up homosexuals? They are not the subject, so please quit trying to divert our attention in a different direction. It is my God given right to say this also. We were founded as a Christian nation, so please stop saying things that just are not true. Thank you.

      FOR GOD AND COUNTRY!

      • http://CNN Glory

        Sorry. Maybe I wasn’t clear enough. Let me try again to explain what I meant.

        I do not care what your beliefs are or what religion you are or what party you belong to. Those are your rights as an American. I totally believe we should respect our country and its Constitution. If someone is born and gentically predisposed to being a homosexual – that’s their issue or choice. Sorry if I gave the wrong inpression.

        I love this country and what it stands for. We may not always be perfect, but I feel we have tried to do the best we can. But I think we have slipped off the path this go-around with our current administration.

      • GreatScott

        This administration is very eerily doing many of the same things as the Bush Administration, i.e. bailouts, huge deficit spending, undeclared wars, attacking our civil liberty’s and god given rights. Only O’Commie is pushing Islam, Socialism and homosexulaity up our rear ends.

        Don’t forget, it was Bush who gave us the Dept of Homeland Insecurity, TSA and the Patriot Act.

      • http://CNN Glory

        Anyway you look at where our country is headed and how it got here so far is scarey to all of us who love America and feel the only way to stand up and be heard is to speak our hearts and minds. Maybe it will resonate with enough people to do the same. Thanks to all the Patriots out there who care.

      • Joe H

        Neil and Greatscott,
        first Neil, you sound like one of these anti- religeous nutcases that believes the constitution says freedon FROM religeon, IT DOESN’T!!! It says freedom OF religeon!
        Greatscott,
        Yes, Bushjr gave us the patriot act, but Odumberer has not only kept it, but he has EXPANDED it and STRENGTHENED it!!! I personally think Bush was an azzhole, but odumberer is Bush on Steroids!!

    • http://gravatar.com/bychoosing Jay

      We all have fears, Neil. They rise up out of the muck of our subconscious and exert extraordinary power over us.

      Some fears are perfectly rational. Others, such as the one you just shared, fear of religion/faith, are strictly irrational.

      Irrational fear arises out of;

      1) Deep-seated knowledge that the other side is right, the ego perceives a threat to a well-entrenched belief.

      2) A projection of one’s more unpleasant qualities onto the “Other” (theJungian Shadow).

      3) Just plain, old-fashioned ignorance.

      Hope this help’s, Neil.

  • 2¢ worth…

    Karolyn is right people.. ” I would like to know just who put Obama’s face on the flag “.. Instead of running off the deep end and accusing/threatening the bad guys that you’ve been conditioned to hate, try some investigative circulation.. Instead of going to your regular source (which they too may had been fooled into thinking it was true) go everywhere.. Check out your opposition and find out what their saying about it. Fact is, there is no enemies in America, just propaganda manipulations that pit us against one another and they don’t have morals or scruples in this quest.. As a matter of fact, their probably playing both sides. Pub? Dem? what are these? WE’RE AMERICANS PEOPLE!! Not commie vs John Wayne. Don’t hate, find out why someone wants you to hate. You think the people who disagree with your political beliefs are the enemy? Put blame where it belongs, those political advisers and backers who have more at stake than even their candidates and they’ll do anything to get what THEY want. Their the slime balls who’s pitting neighbor against neighbor and their having a fun time doing it. We all have our choices, our beliefs and we should go with our feelings.. Not downgrade those who disagree because they have their beliefs.. Not call others commies and scum.. We called the Japanese vile names, now their friendlies.. We called the soviets our greatest enemies but they turned out to be human.. We know the Chinese are communists yet we deal with them 24/7.. We are ALL Americans but we can’t get enough calling each other vile names and spew hatred everywhere in our own country.. Obviously the perpetrators of 911 have won after all.. We’re all running about like jackals, trying to create commies where commies don’t exist (except the few that are running our country).. Do what we’ve always done on elections, vote your choice and (because we at least think we’re a democratic nation) whoever wins, respect the office.. You want to change this ‘monster’ that you believe is a commie muslum running our lives? Then pressure the people who can actually do something about it and if they refuse (for what ever reason) then fire their asses and get someone in who will do something.. This bull about not being able to oust Obama because he owns the lot of them is more BS, it’s those yellow belly profit mongers who says this.. Fire them and get a replacement who KNOWS the law of the land.. Yes, these idiots are cronies but I’m telling you their not Obama cronies, their cronies of the men and women behind the curtain. Just…. Everybody TRY to get along.. United we may just come out of this alive but divided, someone else has won and we don’t know who the hell THEY are…

    • http://gravatar.com/hattles JeffH

      2¢ worth… says:
      Karolyn is right people.. ” I would like to know just who put Obama’s face on the flag “.

      DUH! Right? Gee, it doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure this one out…makes no difference WHO put O’man’s face on a flag with the red white and blue stripes…it becomes a matter of who is blantantly disrespecting the US flag by flying to O’man flag.

      Just so ya know, it was the Lake County Democratic Club Headquarters in Taveras, Florida that was flying the flag and initially resisted taking it down…the flag is in violation of the Federal Flag Code, which states “The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure design, picture, or drawing of any nature.” .

      This is not a political thing. This is about the flag. .

      • http://CNN Glory

        The very least these idiots could do is have some respect for the nation’s flag, but since Obama can’t find it in his heart to show respect for this country he is ruling, oops! did I say that? Why should his supporters? Maybe he’s planning ahead for when he takes over the country. You know kind of like the Dictators he seems to fuss over from the Communist Democratic countries. Remember, the Hope and Change that turned out to be anything that we all were hoping it would be. He took over everything he got his hands on, appointed Czars and by-passed the Congress and Senate and is still telling folks nothing is his fault. But . . . . Michelle finally had a reason to be proud of this country, and promised to rewrite the history books JUST THE WAY THEY WANT TO! Lord help us – is nothing sacred any more?

    • eddie47d

      $.02 there are plenty on both sides who want to keep us divided. So far I’ve mostly seen those on the right that want a shooting war with their fellow Americans. That usually happens when one side can’t win the ballot box.

  • john DeSanctis

    The flag with an image of Obama in place of the stars indicates what idiots support him.

    • eddie47d

      At least in Lake County Florida. They should have only put his image on a regular homemade flag or similar material if they wanted to show respect for the President. Reconfiguring the American flag was wrong and callous.

      • Joe H

        Actually, eddie, the rules of flag etiquette states that a flag is anything that the people, when seeing it, would consider it to be a flag. Like a piece of cloth with stars and stripes arranged in the manner of the flag sewed on a pillow! In that case what you suggest would be wrong as well!!

  • Wumingren

    One must wonder what the Left would have done had a conservative created a flag with the image of Bush on it and flown it at a local Republican Party office. I imagine we’d have seen damage done to the entire building, the flag pole toppled, and the flag burned. Because, you know, the Tea Party is violent, but folks like those in Occupy are just doing what they have to do.

  • Louis Lemieux

    I don’t know “what Obama doesn’t know“, but if there is one thing that I know, it’s that the price of gold may drop by half within two to three years, similar to what happened with the housing bubble.

    • Joe H

      Louis,
      I wouldn’t bet the farm on that if they keep on printing worthless fiat money!!! the more paper they print, the less it is worth. The less those bills are worth, the higher the worth of gold!! I collect coins of all denominations and I would love to see the price drop for awhile to make it easier to finish a few of my books off but excuse me if I don’t hold my breath waiting!!

    Hanoi Jane is a Traitor, as she spent time in North Vietnam fraternizing with the North Vietnamese Communists, while sitting on their anti-aircraft gun, wearing a NVA pitch helmet, with a red commie star on it, all posing near a North Vietnamese flag, smiling for photo’s. While there she verbally bashed and trashed the American POW’s calling them criminals and condemned America over and over as the agressor, in that War !
    Back in the States, she attended and particapated in many anti-war gatherings, over a decade, wrapped in a North Vietnamese Communists flag and again calling America and the American Military, all obscene names, and cheered and clapped, while the American Flag was, spit on, urinated on and torn and burned…………..

    Democrats allowing, flying Obama’s mug on the Flag is as bad as Hanoi Janes actions, of letting the American Flag be destroyed, all of them are un-Patriotic, un-American, and shameful, that treatment of the Flag, violates the American Flag rules of proper ediquette, while desecrating it too and that kind of fowl treatment of the Flag is something Communists and all Tyrants do !
    That kind of vulgar display, is a disrespectful insult to all Veterans who have fought bravely and honorably to protect the Flag and many have died to do that ! That is an insult to all Patriotic Americans who love the flag and respect it and are proud to fly it !!

    Obama and not one Liberal Democrat has not, condenmed that flag flying incident, as they never condenmed over the 10 years of Jane Fonda’s Traitorious behavior !

  • Bruce VanderJagt

    Mr. Dave Reynolds,
    I too am a veteran and concur with your feelings. True patriots are those willing to sacrifice. Let’s consider moving Congressman Allen West (Fl) up the ladder. A gentleman, scholar, and individual with the where-with-all to lead.

    • Sirian

      Agree 100%

    • Walt1

      Patriotism for a “good cause” and “something that helps the world” is commendable. However, think of all those soldiers who fought for Hitler or Hirohito during World War II. They were patriotic and brave, but ultimately they were the instruments of evil. That kind of patriotism is horrible. Soldiers should serve as instruments of good, and their efforts should help create a better and safer world. So, it is important that any war U.S. soldiers are engaged in is fully justified. Otherwise, one’s patriotism may only serve to create misery.

      Now that’s a quote to keep – gonna save that one! Although, wouldn’t it also sound just as applicable if it were to read. . . “Take away reasoning and accountability, all you have left is Congress”. Plausible?

      • Bruce VanderJagt

        By all means – plausible! Congress reminds me of a bunch of newborn field mice – meandering without direction.

    Just who the hell does he think he is dictating to the people how to memorialize those valiant men and women who actually fought and died for this country. Oh, that’s right he is the Commander and Dictator in Chief. With all the crap this guy has piled on you and me, it’s hard to believe that Americans might actually re-elect this guy. It makes one want to move to the Netherlands.

  • http://N/A Dave Reynolds

    This is a bit off topic, but I believe that one of the requirements should be that to qualify as a candidate for president of our WONDERFUL country the man or woman should be a veteran of the US Military. I know that as a vet I have a deep love and appreciation for this wonderful country of ours.

    • Vigilant

    • Sirian

      Good idea Kookie but Obummer is so deeply embedded in Black Theology/Marxism/Socialism that wishing that he would include a prayer at a Memorial service is about as likely to happen as Iran massively converting to Christianity.

      • s c

        Sirian, does Gore pray to Obummer, or does Obummer pray to Gore? Gore is the high priest of global warming [and all other Mama Earth-humping theories], and Obummer is the high priest of self-love.
        Obummer has an extremely large carbon footprint. Gore’s is much smaller. Maybe it’s a classic case of “carbon footprint envy.” There are so many types of “kinky” among third-rate utopian shills that I need a scorecard to keep track of them.

      • Sirian

        I must say s c, there is a true narcissistic resemblance between the two. A failed attempt at cloning? They both have that “self evident” sense of their godly self serving utopian status. From this we can logically deduce that – Obummer got the golden ring (oval office), Gore did not; Obummer – 1, Gore – 0. Obummer got the Nobel Peace Prize, Gore got an Oscar; Obummer – 1, Gore – 1. Most Revered National Idiots Award has gleefully been won by both; Obummer – 1, Gore -1. Therefore, final score, Obummer – 3, Gore – 2.
        On final note – Carbon Footprints Award has been covertly removed by the kinky MSM so those scores are no longer counted and or published. . . :)

    • eddie47d

      Obama doesn’t control the price at the pump anymore than Bush ,Nixon,Carter or any other President. The price is set by the world markets and Wall Street Speculators. Sometimes 64% of the price of gas come from those Speculators who’s only goal is to make millions not whether you have to pay $5.00 a gallon. If you want lower prices change the way Wall Street/OPEC and other entities do business. Until then we are all in the same boat.

        Mention was made of the supreme court.

        My biggest fear right now is justices considering retirement. If three of them go during the Obama administration, it will totally change the sentiment of the court. You KNOW he will install those who are less inclined to follow the constitution and more likely to rule from the bench in ways that would make any dem/lib/commie drool in their latte. That is one more reason we absolutely must NOT allow Obamao to get second term. If he does you can kiss the first and second amendments good bye. The rest will tumble like a house of cards.

      Karolyn, your distain for anything Ben Crystal is so hypocritical of you…all you do is whine, such the opposite of what you “preach”. As much as you believe yourself to be different, you’re no different than those you critisize. Like Libertytrain says, you ask for it and you get what you deserve.

Don’t forget to wear your green, today is St. Patrick’s Day and everyone is Irish on St. Patty’s Day! A lot of people think that this is just a fun day and doesn’t celebrate anything significant. How wrong they are!!! This should be one of the most sacred Christian holidays, right behind Resurrection Day! Irish folklore has it that St. Patrick drove all the snakes from Irland, that in a sense is true, but they weren’t the kind that slithered on their bellys! Patrick was an Englishman who was captured and held as a POW in an Irish raiding party into Jolly Ole’, later after his release and his conversion to Christianity, Patrick returned to evangelize the Emerald Isle. The ancient Kelts used to sacrifice thier children to the Keltic god of corn and milk, Crom Curach. It was Patrick who took a shelayle and smached the idol to bits, thus ending that heathern practice!!! Here is the true story in Gaelic prose no less! – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VC3joJU4gvs, this is the problem with paganism! It is so easy to find yourself all of a sudden partisipating in such a heathern practice because if you don’t stand for something, you’ll fall for anything! Say it could never happen here?! In this day and age?! Women sacrifice their children to their god of selfish desires everyday in this country!!! It’s called abortion! END THE MADNESS!!! Like I said, don’t forget to wear your green, ya don’t want to get pinched!!!

      • Vigilant

        Sook Young, the Obama flag was purchased on line for $12.95. Guess where it’s made: China. The final insult.

        It’s not just the flag code that has ben dishonored. Treasury and US Postal policy traditionally has banned the placement of images of living people on US coins and stamps (although I understand that’s going to change). The reason was obvious: you find that sort of thing today under monarchies and dictatorships.

        The Founders understood that our homage should be devoted to the principles of our Constitutional Republic and the sovereignty of the people, NOT to any ruler. Putting Obama’s image on a flag violates those principles. Worse, it elevates Obama to the status of a cult idol.

        Reminds me of the Che Guevara images found everywhere.

      • Libertytrain

        There used to be a time, not all that long ago, when using the Flag as they did was truly considered a crime. Doesn’t have to be a “real” flag to be abused… – – people have lost a lot of their ethics and class over the years it seems, sadly. And to create the obama flag is just another prominent leftist display of ignorance and disrespect. But call me old-fashioned – what do I know?

      • Tom W.

        Hey Karlolyn, which one of those OLD ladies at that table was you?!!

      • StanB

        @ Vigilant, U.S.Federal Flag code 94-344 states section § 8. Respect for Flag. “(g) The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.”

      • Sirian

        StanB,
        That is exactly why it upsets so many of us. We know what you specified – were taught to honor and respect our flag even before Boy Scout years, but the young ones, UseFul IdIots, no longer are given any instruction along this line – NONE!! That is one of the greatest failings of the “new generation”. Regrettably, much of the blame for this problem lies in the laps of their parents and perhaps in some instances, grandparents.

        sook young, it took the ire of the local veterans to get the flag down.

        Don Van Beck, executive director of the Veterans Memorial at Fountain Park asked that the altered flag be removed, explaining that it was in violation of federal flag code. He offered a POW/MIA flag to fly in its place.

        Nancy Hurlburt, the Democratic Party Chair for Lake County, said she would research the issue but didn’t take the Obama flag down immediately, prompting Van Beck to declare that they would take the flag down for her.

        “No, you will not. This is private property,” Hurlbert responded.

        After a short time spent ‘researching’, Hurlbert relented and took down the flag while the veterans looked on. She did not accept the POW/MIA flag offered as a replacement.

        The flag was made in China. For whom it was originally produced IS the question. Then the second question is why the Democratic Party Headquarters in Flordia thought that it was o.k. to buy it and fly it.

        karolyn,
        That flag was a gift to the democratic headquarters of lake county Fla. They were flying it and even when told they were in violation of the flag rules. they still told those vets that they would check into it and SEE. What is there to see about? They were in VIOLATION! The vets even gave them a POW/MIA flag to fly instead. This was a case of STUPID DEMS wanting to make their OWN RULES!! Nothing more!!

        The WWII Memorial was dedicated on Memorial Day 2004 Sook . Obama wouldn’t be President for 5 more years and now we have someone blaming him for a prayer left out of the memorial. Considering how long the prayer was could you imagine the taxpayer cost to have it engraved in stone? Remember WWII was also our last “great war” where our nations sovereignty was threatened by two empires. It was much easier to inspire citizens to fight for this country because everything was at stake. Our latest wars are false flag wars are for money,power,world status,corporations,petty revenge,and even oil. Hardly much to get patriotic about. Killing people for future profits is not a Nobel calling,defending ones homeland is. Helping other nations is rather nobel yet it gets murky when you find out who is behind these incursions.

      It may well be disgraceful but it is not illegal. It would only be illegal if it had occurred within the District of Columbia. However, the flag code (http://www.ushistory.org/betsy/flagcode.htm) specifically states that the only place this section of the code applies is within the District of Columbia. Additionally, it further states that the images cannot be placed on an American Flag. Since there are no stars on this flag, it was not an American Flag being altered – so it was no an American Flag being defaced.

        Greatscott…the flag represents a government? Must have been your public education that prompted that erroneous comment.

        Here your chance to get correctly educated about the US flag.

        The USA Flag indicates the overall background is 13 equal horizontal stripes of red alternating with white stripes and in the upper hoist-side corner (canton) there is a blue rectangle bearing 50 small, white, five-pointed stars

        The 50 stars represent the 50 states of the USA

        The 13 stripes on the USA flag represent the 13 original colonies (known as Old Glory)

        The red stripes are situated at the top and bottom of the USA Flag

        The stars on the USA flag are arranged in nine offset horizontal rows of stars – six stars are displayed on the top and bottom rows – the rows of six stars alternate with rows of five stars.

        The flag represents the United States of America and has nothing at all to do with representing our government.

      • http://gravatar.com/hattles JeffH

        …forgot this…

        According to Ancient and Heraldic traditions much symbolism is associated with colors. The colors on the USA flag represent the following:

        White – peace and honesty

        Red – hardiness, bravery, strength & valour

        Blue – vigilance, truth and loyalty, perseverance & justice

        The basic style shown in the picture of the USA flag is described as Canton

        All Flag pictures depict flags flying, from the viewer’s point of view, from left to right

        The shape and flag ratio of the USA flag is described as 1:2 ( length twice the height )

        The upper left quarter of the flag is called the Canton and pictures the stars

        The Meaning of the USA Flag – The USA flag represents the 50 states of USA and the 13 original colonies

      I have become aware of two very different sides of the political spectrum. The radical left can who can insult, slander, make fun and demean the right and everything is excused. When the right reports the truth in the news or their point of view, major chaos results. Our country has become divided more so than ever in my past memory. We are no longer a unified nation. One side wanting to turn to Socialist, Marxist, and Communism which have never worked in the past for any countries, so what makes anyone think it will work now? Our compass has totally gone off course. The other side wants religion out of schools and our life, our youth are being brain-washed into having sex at such young ages that they are not fully matured to understand life and human needs and end up ruining their young lives with sex and unwanted babies that the tax payer has to pay for, and are influence by drug and no morals which leads them on the path of destruction. Who want our youth taught these things? TEACHERS – NOT THE PARENTS who should be the moral compass for their own kids. Why should the government have their nose in our business and pushing for things that are just plain insane policies – like homosexuals marrying, beastiality, no reponsibility to anyone or anything. Sad that there are no rules any longer. It has become a “ME” Society looking for handouts from the government.

        I remember a time when Pres. Washingtion’s face was put on a flag and no one complained then so why the complaining now. Bigotry and hatred of Africans in america has a deep root and speaks loud when a man with one drop of African blood has been elevated to the highest office in the nation which was built on the backs of enslaved Africans. I think many of all ethnicities are disappointed to find that while they have been running after their god money, money and position has not, because it can not, save, nor satisfy the soul, and they have recognized the reality of ignoring basic human rights of our fellow man, woman & children of all ethnicities. Most are now finding themselves disappointed that bigotry and racism was not resolved. Many others are using this as anoter opportunity to promote their hatred. The ideal of promoting people thought of by a system of systematic racism as less than to a higher status, i.e. education, employment, etc. has it really worked? No! because the entire system is set up to fail those who the few wealthiest believe to be insignificant in their power struggle to rule the whole world. In this nation people have a right to their opinions but when they express them in a manner which degrades and humiliates another human being they have become what this nation claims to be fighting against throughout the world. Everyone should look at the man in the mirror and ask, “what have I done to contribute to the hypocrisy of this nation, i.e. United States of America, and the hatred of those who are different than myself? What can I do to make the vicious cycle of hatred and bigotry be broken once and for all? How can I learn to have and express my difference of opinion in a civil moral productive manner?” If everyone would get busy working on self then the changes you make for the better will have an impact on making the nation better. Stop being haters and causing discord but instead become love givers, and peace makers through civility and not violence. And this nation of ours will be a better place for all the people by the people! HalleluYahweh!

        Sorry Melody, but this is not a racial issue. It is about the unlawful alteration of our flag. Thank you.

        Rick,
        Read a little further, paragraph 8 to be exact. That paragraph pertains to ANYONE flying the flag and not just DC!

      Proper etiquette for the use of the American Flag clearly states that ‘no part of the flag is to come in contact with the ground’. By stepping on it (real or not, Karolyn) it’s a very blatant expression of disrespect for the flag and our country and those OWS fleas should leave this country since they express their hatred so openly. Also, defacing the flag in any way is illegal.

      Well because when its all said and done they want a red flag with a hammer and sickle on it.

      The Chinese donated that flag to the Dem party because he is their contact man in the USA. Birds of a feather and all that.

      Why else would the Communist leaders of a Communist country donate a flag to any country that has been disfigured with one of their party members?
