What IS your problem? You want to vote for Oblama, fine, do it. But don't mistake your empty suit for a patriotic American.

ABC Bans Flag Pins

Well isn't that just American... Now do you know why they're called the drive-bys? Think drive-by shooting...



 





























ABC News bans Flag Lapel Pins 








 









Yesterday, the brass at ABC News issued orders forbidding reporters to wear lapel pin American flags, or other patriotic insignia. Their reasoning was that ABC should remain neutral about "causes".






Since when is support for preventing our death & destruction some sort of a cause? Since when is Patriotism to be discouraged. I urge you to boycott ABC and its sponsors and affiliates.






We
are slowly losing everything our country stands for, and everything our men and women fought and died to preserve.






Please forward this to as many as you can. You can
verify it by going to:

Veteran Removes The American Flag This is a video clip showing the veteran who went down to a Mexican restaurant in Reno , NV to take down the American flag that was being flown under their Mexican flag. This guy silenced the folks on the sidewalk and makes me proud to be an American. I think it's going  to take a lot more of this kind of revolting to change things....watch and be proud.

me too! It's going to be exciting to see how it goes...will be on pins and needles
till then! I really hope this sets the tone for the rest of the country.
no flag for me
I wont hang a flag, but if I did it would be upside down, the symbol for help/distress.  Or I would rather burn a flag.  Sorry, for the negativity but that is how I feel about this country.  My father fought in WWII and received a Purple Heart, my cousin is in the Navy right now.  I just dont recognize America anymore.  It is not my country.  I feel like I have just landed on earth from Mars, LOL.  Now, Sandra Day O'Connor is retiring, oh boy..another major fight with the right wing.  Bush is on TV now saying..yada..yada..yada, he will take into consideration, yada..yada..yada..We know who he will nominate, a radical right wing nut.  Sigh..
Flag pin
I love our country and respect it, but I do not wear a flag pin ever. I don't see why wearing a flag pin is so important. I was never taught to put my hand over my heart for the national anthem and most people I know do not. Men are to take their hats out, stand tall and pay attention, nothing else.

I don't understand all the attention on a pin.
put on your flag pin, your big

girl panties and pay your fair share.  I don't want to work to pay taxes that go to the endless war, yet as an american citizen, I do because I must.  Think of others for a change.


 


Oh no...not the flag pin again. LOL


Red flag s/m

The site is a blog.  I notice that what I thought was a link to Obama's tax returns didn't go anywhere.  The only thing visible is the "summary" of what this person SAYS is on the tax forms.  Show me the REAL tax return and I'll be happy to say what I think about his charitable contributions. In the meantime, it is his business as McCain's tax return is his business.


the flag pin dealio

is a Rovian tactic aimed at the dumbest, uneducated, stick-in-the eye voters. Like those Pennsylvanians in the Oprah book of the month. Called Country Roads or something.  Was rural PA residents which had murder, incest, etc.  A good read.


 Aren't you ashamed to include yourself in that group? Real problems need to be solved, not accessorized with flag pins.


 


oh drop the flag pin, will you?

Something sends up a red flag
It was on every single station except for two. Didn't watch it because it's just another form of brainwashing. Why does he need a commercial where it is blatanly obvious he did it so nobody would be able to ask him any questions. What's on the mind of everyone I know is why didn't he hold a conference and take questions?

Heard he said (or will be saying) the same ol same ol.

Just another regime tactic.
I am sure that the supervisor did not say that the flag
is offensive. How could she? She herself, I am sure, is already an US citizen, after being for 14 years in this country and being her supervisor.

It was all about the supersized flag!

A little thing on her desk would have been enoigh!
It was all about the SUPERSIZED flag
and I am sure that the supervisor did not say that the flag is offensive.


and then he proceeded to wad the flag up!
xx
Great post!! And I will put out my flag, too.

We are so divided in this country that sometimes I think we're headed for another civil war.


But we are still all Americans, and we've got to find a way to come together.


I remember how it seemed the entire country came together after 9/11.  I hope that can happen again without such a tragedy preceding it.


I hope you and your family have a blessed 4th!!! 


My flag flies every day, not just today.
Always has, always will.
You can't honor the flag and still think about those things? nm

as long as you wear a flag pin while doing it
you are being patriotic, lol! Sorry, couldn't resist. Now, go put on your flag pin right now and conform!
McCain does not wear flag

pin as he writes an article in an accountant's magazine claiming that deregulation of financial business was so successful he wishes to deregulate the health care industry.  let's see if this gets the subject off the ground.


 


All you need is a flag pin or a Steelers uniform to run. lol nm.

I don't wear a flag pin, and I'm patriotic.

The thing that raises the red flag for me is ....sm
that she said she was called on her cell phone. I talked to my family and friends about that and no one that I spoke to has ever had a call from a campaign on a cell phone. Does anyone else recall? Another point is the some people are saying that the polls in the election may not be that accurate because so many people have cell phones now and no land line, and pollsters only use land lines where polling for the election. Comments?
Another thank you for your service. White flag is right..

what a nation of wimps we will become under this man. He'll be hiding behind Michelle's skirt.


Wave that confederate flag.....
I suppose the millions without jobs right now are all black/hispanic/asian? You really don't deserve a response, but, sometimes the trash needs taken out.
How can you trust him otherwise? He could be purposely disrespecting our flag (sm)
as a sign to those he truly sides with that he is on their team. The mere thought that someone could be elected to be our President while refusing to accept our flag is just insane! Do you have any idea how good we have it in America compared to other countries? Do you want to become a third world country? Do you know how possible it is?
Refusing to acknowlege our flag is disrespectful nm

Haha! It always seems the people with the biggest flag-

She should have ASKED her supervisor if she can put this giant flag
up in her office which she SHARES with her supervisor!
Why didn't she ask before?
It seems that these 2 ladies do not get along well, I stop here now before I say too much.....????
REAL Americans don't gripe about their flag!
--
For many parents of military personnel, a flag

right, but has he to bring a BIG American flag into the office
too, before even asking what the office policies are regarding this?
Why assume that flag-flying was this individual's
There's nothing in the story to support your assumption that flying the flag represents this individual's complete understanding of the notion of patriotism.

On the other hand, flying the flag IS certainly ONE expression of patriotism - a form of protected speech, in fact - and the ONLY question here is not whether this individual has a simplistic view of patriotism, but whether displaying the flag should have been prohibited.

We'll just call this your quota of "straw man" logical fallacies for the week, shall we? You may not post another one until next week.
Don't want a fight, just want to ask, Does Obama respect the American Flag?

I saw this picture of his airplane before the makeover



and here it is after the makeover


His "symbol" "slogan" "trademark" or whateverthatis replaced the flag. I'm
sorry but I just don't understand why unless he has no respect for it.


Can someone explain without getting upset; just explain it.


So SP wrapping the flag around her body for a political photo op

GIVE ME A ROYAL BREAK!!! FLAG-FLYING
Flag-flying IN AND OF ITSELF is not "patriotism"

PATRIOTISM is standing up for one's COUNTRY against all - including the government.

You can show your patriotism in MANY MANY ways other than flying a flag - one of the most important ways is to EDUCATE yourself about how the government LIES good men and women into fake wars to LINE THE POCKETS OF THE ALREADY RICH.

We have not been "fighting for our freedom" since 1776!!

WANT TO SHOW YOUR PATRIOTISM? Get the facts about what your government is REALLY using your tax dollars for and HOW they are really using your sons and daughters...

When McBush is talking, he isn't talking to you unless you are wealthy or CEO

 


who provides campaign funds.  Do you know why lobbyists are making the headlines?  Because they are bribing the politicians of both parties - lobbyists work for private interests (AIPAC) along with the pharmaceutical company ($280.00 for a bottle of pills?  Only in America, folks), oil industry (record profits at your expense) credit card companies and unethical banking procedures (Funny isn't it how Visa wrote the reformed BK bill, making virtually everyone end up in ch 13 (garnishing income, including SS) after raising credit limits and offering transfer balances at 0 percent to everyone with a last name and a roof over their head?  Along with mtgs that were bound to turn into bad loans when house prices dropped which they always do after a bubble.  God, I could go on and on here but I get tired.  The nation is in such trouble.  Serious serious trouble.  There is a huge loan to an unfriendly country (did you watch the Olympics?  did you ever see Bush look more uncomfortable other than during the Stephen Colbert roast during the national press conference.  lol.  


Well I want you to know what fascism.  And I want you to know that those treasury notes are backed up by the taxpayers (you) and real estate including roads and govt buildings and parks.  Have you noticed why Save-Mart Center is owned by savemart and not a community business or the community itself?  There is somethign happening slowly and surely and it is NOT going to benefit middle class america one iota.  You must know that as a poor person, you have no power, no voice.  Elections are rigged and the politicans cease to care whether you like them or not - oh wait, that has already happened. 


THINK ABOUT THIS!!!!  Your 401Ks and investments/assets are what at are stake! 


Fascist governments nationalized key industries and made massive state investments. They also introduced price controls, wage controls and other types of Soviet-style economic planning measures.[12] Property rights and private initiative were contingent upon service to the state.[13].[14] Fascists promoted their ideology as a "third way" between capitalism and Marxian socialism.[15] Fascists in Germany and Italy claimed that they opposed reactionaries, and that they were actually revolutionary political movements that fused with conservative social values.


Talking to them is talking to a brick wall.

I am, not talking about Clinton, I am talking
about the torture of prisoners, crimes against the Geneva conventions.

It seems that you did not read the last sentence in my former post.

Are you saying that crimes from the near past should all be forgotten?
Not really, you'd have to know what they were talking about
which I didn't know about the incident of the soldier accidentally killing other soldiers.

Thanks though.
Wow! what are you talking about???nm
x
What are you talking about?
.
I was talking about myself when I said that.
You might want to re-read my post.
What are you talking about?
I am sure I don't know.  I know your game though.
Not what I was talking about

Wasn't referring to WMD, as stated in my post.


Saddam had gotten rid of the WMDs, said his son-in-law, quite a few years earlier.  If your theory of invading a country that no longer is a threat, then would you also advise invading Germany since they used to have a Nazi regime?


If you are talking to me...
which question did I not answer?
who are you talking to?
I don't understand the anonymous post... there are plenty I think it could be addressed to, why did you not point out what you mean? PS you are just stirring the pot more right?
Exactly what I am talking about. Think for yourself.

xx


Talking about yourself again, huh?
nm
what are you talking about?
straight out of left field... you random people!

Yes the baby has Down's syndrome...
He is so adorable did you see him when she held him on stage?
Babies are so amazing!
Okay, what are you talking about?

I just mean in terms of the baby being passed around.  That's what people do with babies.  They share the love. 


Doncha have any babies in your family?
