delta22 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 The following is a narrative taken from a 2008 Sunday morning televised "Meet The Press'. The author (Dale Lindsborg) is employed by none other than the very liberal Washington Post!! From Sunday's 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, Televised "Meet the Press" THE THEN Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag. General Bill Ginn' USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played. The General stated to Obama that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171...During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Or, at the very least, "Stand and Face It". NOW GET THIS !! - - - - - 'Senator' Obama replied: "As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides". "There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression.." "The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing." (ARE YOU READY FOR THIS???) Obama continued: "The National Anthem should be 'swapped' for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing'. If that were our anthem, then, I might salute it. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as 'redesign' our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a Nation of waring people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails - - - perhaps a state or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments ." When I become President, I will seek a pact of agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation, have placed upon the nations of Islam, an unfair injustice which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past". "Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path.. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First black Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America " WHAAAAAAAT, the Hell is that!!! Yes, you read it right. I, for one, am speechless!!!

Sirius Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 I don't think you will find that article, but there was the ABC video a while back. Obama Says Flag Flap a Dirty Trick November 07, 2007 3:18 PM ABC News' David Wright and Sunlen Miller Report: At a town hall meeting Wednesday an Iowa voter asked Senator Barack Obama, D-Ill., about the numerous emails she has received with photos purporting to show Obama "refusing" to pledge allegiance to the flag. "You're standing with your arms folded and Hillarious's got her hand on her heart," she said, adding that she received so many of these emails she is sick of them. Obama shook his head and smiled. "This was not during the pledge of allegiance," Obama said of the picture taken at Senator Tom Harkin's, D-Iowa, annual steak fry and first published by Time. "A woman was singing the Star Spangled Banner when that picture was taken. See the original photo by clicking here. "I was taught by my grandfather that you put your hand over your heart during the pledge, but during the Star Spangled Banner, you sing!" Obama said. ABC News has video of the event in question which can be viewed by clicking here. Obama called the circulation of such pictures a "dirty trick" and mentioned other emails accusing him of being "a Muslim plant." "I have been pledging allegiance since I was a kid," Obama said. Obama advised his supporters who receive such emails to ignore them. "Just tell whoever sent it," Obama told the crowd, "they're misinformed."

Here is a suggestion from Charlie Daniels: "In America" We'll the eagle's been flying slow, and the flag's been flying low, and a lot of people's saying that America's fixing to fall. But speaking just for me and some people from Tennessee, we got a thing or two to tell you all. This lady may have stumbled but she ain't never fell. And if the Russians (or fill in the group) don't believe that they can all go straight to hell. We're gonna put her feet back on the path of the righteousness and then God bless America again.
