HUNTSVILLE, Utah — A parade entry portraying President Barack Obama and using the term “Obamanation” has made some angry, and others upset at the negative attention. It happened in the city’s annual Fourth of July parade. The float showed a person dressed as President Obama with one sign that read “Huntsville Welcomes Obama’s Farewell Tour?” On the back, another sign said, “Ask about our assault gun plan. Call Eric Holder.”
On one side of the issue, people are saying the float was disrespectful and had no place in a patriotic parade. The other side says it was all in good fun.
Huntsville Mayor Jim Truett and City Council member Laurie Allen say the entry doesn’t reflect the views of the city. They say it was entered at the last minute, not through usual protocol and they would not have approved it if they had seen it.
“I don’t think we would have allowed it, in fact I know we wouldn’t,” said Allen. “We just don’t want that. It’s a family-oriented celebration.”
Weber County Sheriff Lt. Mark Lowther told Fox 13 News his department contacted the Secret Service after some residents expressed concern the float was a threat to the President.
“We don’t decide what’s appropriate. That’s up to the town, the parade organizers and the people who design the float,” said Chief Deputy Klint Anderson, Weber County Sheriff’s Office, in a statement.
Dissent s no longer patriotic. Of course, that may change, depending on Nov. 7th, so please stay tuned.
Absolutely. The first chapter of Romans tells us that God visits his wrath on a people by removing his common grace and "giving them over" to the depths of their own inherent sinful nature. One need only open a newspaper to see this happening before their very eyes.

Maybe I should move to this town.
I just Thank God in Heaven for His Grace -and that His children do not always get what they deserve. YES —we are certainly due His Wrath for allowing this -and judgement does begin at the pulpit— But I still sing that patriotic hymn —God shed His Grace on thee ....YS we need to humble ourselves and Pray But I much prefer God Grace than I long to see what we are due.
That drivel “O” mouths incessantly, doesn’t even qualify as ‘ideology’...it’s too ignorant.
Any proper ‘ideology’ worth the name has some kind of intellectual base...even IF it is logically flawed, inhumane or immoral.
“O’s” so called ‘ideology’ is nothing more than very crude, hackneyed and immature hate-speech...PERIOD!!
What “O” and his creatures have been handing Conservative America is nothing less than a textbook Fascist assault, the likes of which the world has not seen since YOU KNOW WHEN!
“O” wants to wipe the two-party concept OFF THE BOOKS….to condition American voters to believe that there is ONE and ONLY ONE way of thinking about things.
The world has been there and done that… REMEMBER!!!!!
In the age of nearly instant mass social interaction propaganda can travel at supersonic speeds in both directions on the information superhighway.
Socialism depends upon suppression of free speech. And when the people start to leave oppressed areas socialism even built barriers, instance: The Berlin Wall.
The absolute most powerful tactic Obama could employ is the lockdown of social networks including the internet and most cellphone apps.
I disagree with all the posters who approve. No politically-themed floats at an Independence Day celebration. I despise Obama, but the float was highly inappropriate.
They won’t do that. It wouldn’t destroy their tax base.
You'd be amazed just how many of them aren't smart enough to figure that out.
I tell lib acquaintances that they are better off voting GOP because even RINOs are smart enough to know that socialism works best when there are more wagon pullers than there are wagon riders.
If they thought they could get away with it, yes. See Stalin, Hiler, Mao, Pol Pot.
Probably just didn't have enough space in the paper for that.
Was the float going to ram AF1 or something? Threat? Truth is the threat to these pinheaded asshat LIBs.
BFL
Our First Muslim President will do everything that is necessary to control you and your family; and will kill all of you if necessary. But first he has to destroy the USA economically. OBAMACARE is a part of that effort.
LOLOL!
How does he cope with that shame?
Afraid of *forks”?!?
How very....”fey” of him.
