No American flags visible at DNC on Day 1
American Thinker ^ | July 26, 2016 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 07/26/2016 6:24:39 AM PDT by detective

Patriotism took a back seat to racial grievances last night at the Democratic National Convention, as no American flags were visibly present at an event dedicated to picking a political leader for the United States of America. Alex Pfeifer of the Daily Caller was among those who noticed:

The Daily Caller is at the Democratic National Convention and it doesn’t look like there are any American flags.

The stage is bland and grey, with no red, white or blue present. A thorough look at the crowd present also turns up no American flags.

I want to know why Michelle had to wear body armor to her own convention.

no American flags. Not even any red, white and blue on the stage.

They fly the old Soviet Union flag.

They long to recreate the failed, heavy handed, communist dictatorship right here in America.

After all - They all know that the only reason communism has failed in one country after another
is because really smart people like them haven't had a chance to be in charge yet.

They did have a gay flag hanging high above. You saw it in a shot with camera tilted up

Democrats hate America.

They want to erase the fact of its existence.

Three more nights of the freak show is three nights too much.

You can’t see them because they’re standing on them.

Did you really expect, “USA,USA,USA”? I expect them to end the Convention with this. https://youtu.be/UTCs3cIhOnI

There were no Americans there. That’s the “It’s A Small World After All” mob. American flags are “offensive” to Democrats.

“Also, I’d like to see a video of the opening Pledge of Allegiance. I am sure the leader of the Pledge did NOT say “Under God.”
Many in the crowd said it, but I am sure here were many who skipped the phrase.”

Maybe the fire marshal banned flags because they are always a fire hazard when there are liberals around.

Waving your national flag normally means you love what it stands for. There is your explanation.

Being under the glory of God is the only context in which “American pride” would not be an obscene thing, actually.

They may, in an oblique unknowing way, be decrying the rotting remains of a godless country — that they helped to make godless.

Do you suppose they sang/played the National Anthem?

Which one? Mexican? Kenyan? Soviet?

Why would they have American flags? They’re traitors to the Republic.

Or that you honor or salute it.

They hate America. Accuse Donald of sins, of errors, of bad manners, but never of malice towards America.

The hammer and sickle — man’s salute to man’s own work. It all falls apart sooner or later.

Although I did not watch the convention, and will not; an American flag to democrats symbolizes patriotism, which is very politically incorrect and racist. You see, patriotism in their view rules out the importation of anti-Americans in- waiting all over the globe.

Immigration and amnesty are the key issues for democrats. They correctly believe that means permanent power for them.
