As I posted on another thread, this is a wonderful idea. Not the gross disrespect paid toward our national ensign, but the recycling of these flags and public embarassment of those disgusting jerks responsible.
No kidding.
How disrespectful.
People who have been immersed in the military culture view the flag completely differently from people who haven’t. He’s already got the military vote so making a big deal of the flag is not a good vote getter.

Too good Obama vs. The boy scouts mom and apple pie. Wait till the clingers find out he does not allow his kids to get Crismas presents. No I am not kidding. It is true.
So much for love of country from the socialist-alinsky O-bots.
Just another example of many Dims’ superficial and shallow patriotism.
Wow, this is a big time zing.
I hope they hand them out to people at the rally, after thoroughly sanitizing them of course. :p
Flag Recycling.
Dumpster diving at its patriotic finest.
And yet what a shameful lack of couth and flag etiquette.
Old Glory deserves better than this.
Old Ironsides
AY TEAR her tattered ensign down!
Long has it waved on high,
And many an eye has danced to see
That banner in the sky;
Beneath it rung the battle shout,
And burst the cannon’s roar;
The meteor of the ocean air
Shall sweep the clouds no more.
Her deck once red with heroes’ blood,
Where knelt the vanquished foe,
When winds were hurrying o’er the flood,
And waves were white below,
No more shall feel the victor’s tread,
Or know the conquered knee;
The harpies of the shore shall pluck
The eagle of the sea!
Oh, better that her shattered hulk
Should sink beneath the wave;
Her thunders shook the mighty deep,
And there should be her grave;
Nail to the mast her holy flag
Set every threadbare sail,
And give her to the god of storms,
The lightning and the gale!
—Oliver Wendell Holmes
Before McCain steps off the stage he best make sure that at his rallies flags aren’t left behind for the clean up crews to take care.
” The campaign says the flags were recovered from Invesco Field after the Democrats concluded their convention there, and they are going to be used as part of the warm-up ceremonies before McCain takes the stage for the rally.”
McCain may have one of the best ground games ,ever.
His ads have been terrific.
This is a tremendous move.
It..will..resonate.
Barry is the gift that keeps on giving.
It can never be said with a straight face that Obama loves apple pie ( he does not like any sweets, especially ice cream ..and he dislikes beer and dogs- the four legged kind , heck, he probably hates hot dogs , too ! ),
motherhood and the American flag.
Very good. Keep hitting the leftists where they’re weak. (”God bless America? No, no... God DAMN America...”)
The DNC was just going to have them recycled into something useful like, you know, toilet paper. In their twisted, warped minds that would make them the patriotic ones, protecting the environment instead of some empty symbol, donchaknow.
Last week there was a thread on FR about the Dems throwing out American flags. A picture showed clear trash bags with discarded posters, including one with Biden’s name on it, along with American flags.
Maybe someone could find that thread.
Here, in Southern Delaware, the American Legion vets, volunteers and the Vo-Tech High School ROTC unit placed 12” by 18” flags on the graves of every veteran in the cemteries around around our town for Memorial Day.
No veteran should be without a flag for his or her grave.
And the graves went back to Civil War veterans.
In one cemetery, there were over 250 flags flying by the end of that day.
Smart move McCain!
I have to believe that donating the flags to schools in Denver would have gone over very well. Throwing them in the trash will also go over very well, for McCain.
