Obama The Patriot - Removes American Flag From His Plane
The Patriot Room ^ | July 22, 2008 | Bill Dupray

Posted on 07/22/2008 6:11:07 AM PDT by Bill Dupray

Barack Obama recently finished a $500,000 total overhaul of his 757. And as part of the new design, he decided to remove the American flag from the tail. What American running for President of the United States would remove the symbol of his country? And worse, he replaced the flag with it with a symbol of himself.

Photo of plane reprinted with written permission of the photographer.

Has any candidate ever had a logo before?

Looks like a good place for a red star of a commie MIG.

I found another picture of the plane here. The wikipedia article says this is Obama's plane.

You know, I'm going to give Barry Hussein the benefit of the doubt on this one. I'm willing to bet that the big flag was removed from the aircraft tail for security reasons, since I can't imagine a more tempting target for some terrorist to take a potshot at it with an old Soviet SA-7 Grail should-launched surface-to-air missile.

Simply put, flying into the heart of the Middle East with a big U.S. flag emblazoned on the jet is probably not the smartest thing to do.

Also look at the color scheme of the plane. It's is patterned after AF1. This guy is doing everything he can to make himself seam presidential.

Since he’s making his “messiah” tour I wonder... does his plane have an active missile defense?

I’m going to go out on a limb and say no.

Like it or not he’s a target of being “America” now and I doubt Dumbo the Socialist has any idea of that and neither do his supporters.

Actually, the flag on the tail and by the door (if you notice they aren't actually accurate U.S. flags) are part of the North American Airlines paint scheme.



It appears Obama chartered the plane from them and just decided to paint over their scheme. This seems much ado about nothing.

Looks like he has two planes, judging from the photos. Maybe the newer plane never even had the American flag on it. That’s my guess.

Somebody posted earlier that the circular Obama logo represents the American flag being flushed down the commode.

Coincidence? Unintentional?

I still say that bi-sected blue circle looks like a crescent. And I'm not the only one who sees the symbolism. Additionally, the red stripes can easily be seen to represent a curved scimitar.
I'm not saying that it is a subliminal message or anything, but...it certainly is sufficiently reminiscent of the Islamic crescent and scimitar that I would think anyone who is battling accusations of being a closet Muslim would consider picking a different logo.

This is the globalist ideology. Nationalistic symbols are to be erased and nationality must be made a thing of the past. We are all to be global citizens living in states, not countries.

National pride is considered by globalists to be the source of war, hatred, and intolerance. Never mind greed, power and corruption. This is the new sexy.

Religion will be next. We are all going to pray to the same global god the same way and at the same time. But it will be first introduced as, “Religious tolerance”. Jews, Christians, Muslims, Wick en, and others will be allowed to pray in one “Temple” only if the prayer is nondenominational or religion specific. This is how the new global religion will be born.

No flags, no crosses, no stars and no moons. Crazy? We'll see. What do think Communism tried to do and is still trying to do?

Maybe he doesn’t want to get shot down while overseas?

I wish McCain’s campaign would do an add such as this picture...The good-looking serviceman against the muslim, adorned in appropriate attire. This would not influence the likes of the people that visit FR or who are otherwise cognizant of issues, but for the large group of Americans that vote based on appearance only, this would have a significant influence.

The McCain campaign will most probably not do it...but we can do it for them on our own all over the net, on emails, etc., etc. and reach millions.
