Pledging Allegiance To The Flag Of The Obama Nation
Investor's Business Daily ^ | August 27, 2014 | IBD EDITORIALS

Desecration: A U.S. flag with the president's face replacing the field of stars resurfaces at the March on Washington's 50th anniversary, turning the symbol of freedom many have fought and died for into a campaign prop.

It has been a while since President Obama accepted his first nomination among faux Greek columns in Denver in 2008. But judging from the reappearance of the "Obama flag" at a march celebrating Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" speech, the cult of personality that has risen around him has not been diminished or discouraged.

That flag first appeared in March 2012 when one flew over a Florida county's Democrat headquarters long enough to enrage local veterans who called the altered banner "a disgrace."

Lake County, Fla., Democratic Party officials were forced by protests to take down the faux flag, which flew just below a standard Old Glory on the flagpole outside headquarters. For many vets, the final insult was that the flag was made in China.

I wonder how soon till King Zero signs the Executive Order forcing all to bow before any likeness of him. Failure will be immediate removal to a re-education camp... I mean a “sensitivity training seminar”.

A stiff arm salute, a heel click and a Heil Obama will soon bee the order of the day if this megalomaniacal usurper is not corralled.

Frankly I'm surprised to even see them waving around a US flag at all.

These photos are from his Houston campaign office in 2007:

Options will be “None” or “230 grain”...

End results are the same, either way.

“Frankly I’m surprised to even see them waving around a US flag at all.”
_____

Good point, but after they’ve “altered” it, is it really the US Flag any longer? For that matter, is this really the US anymore? (Hypothetical questions. The US will live until the last patriot dies... or is killed.)

I’m a fairly recent convert to conservatism, after spending a career in the military and being “apolitical”, but how could we let the Supreme Court allow desecrating the flag in the name of “freedom of speech” back in... 1979?

With Zero, the chickens have simply come home to roost...
