Democrats Trash the Flag: Phony Patriotism in Action

Obama and the Democrat Party have taken great umbrage over Republican and Conservative questions and comments concerning their patriotism.

Obama even tried to make it a campaign issue when John McCain truthfully and accurately said:

"This is a clear choice that the American people have. I had the courage and the judgment to say I would rather lose a political campaign than lose a war. It seems to me that Obama would rather lose a war in order to win a political campaign.”

For years, Democrats in both the Senate and the House of Representatives have attempted again and again to force the President to withdraw our troops from Iraq. Democrat Party Leadership has worked tirelessly for our defeat from day one of the war in Iraq.

Democrat Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (NV) even declared the war "lost" in Spring of 2007 only months after President Bush began the now remarkably successful McCain Troop Surge.

Up until his interview on Thursday's on The O'Reilly Factor, The Annointed One, Democrat Presidential Nominee Barack Obama, has steadfastly refused to give credit for the successes in Iraq to the troop surge and even then only reluctantly and with a lot of caveats.

Democrats were outraged that questions kept being asked why Barack Obama refused to salute the flag during the playing of our National Anthem or even wear a flag pin on his lapel.

Well the truth has become abundantly clear. At least for the elite in the Democrat Party, patriotism is viewed as a disease and if shown at all, it is done so with some considerable embarrassment.

They don't care for our nation. They hold our nation's flag, the flag that millions have sacrificed their lives to protect, in contempt...and now we have the proof.

Republican Recycling

This morning, Republicans tell me that a worker at Invesco Field in Denver saved thousands of unused flags from the Democratic National Convention that were headed for the garbage. Guerrilla campaigning. They will use these flags at their own event today in Colorado Springs with John McCain and Sarah Palin.

Before McCain speaks today, veterans will haul these garbage bags filled with flags out onto the stage — with dramatic effect, no doubt — and tell the story.

“What you see in the picture I sent you is less than half of total flags,” a Republican official emailed. “We estimate the total number to be around 12,000 small flags and one full size 3×5 flag.”

I’m not sure what the DNC was supposed to do with unused hand-flags, frankly. But the Republicans are obviously questioning someone’s patriotism here.

Obviously even the Mr. Harsanyi doesn't get it, but at least he managed to report it.

Here's a clue for all of you Democrats, including you Mr. Harsanyi, you don't throw them in the trash, you take them home. You carry them with pride. You treat them with the reverence they deserve and if you need to get rid of them, you burn them, not in the streets like our enemies and the hate America protestors do, but with respect.

Here is one of the fundamental differences between Democrat elites (note that I am careful to say "Democrat elites" and not Democrats, because I know that most people who vote for Democrats love their nation as much as we Republicans do) and Republicans. Republicans (and most Democrats) intuitively know how you treat a flag. We have been raised by our parents to respect the flag and what it represents. We understand what it represents and the price others have paid so that we can raise that flag.

For the record, the Boy Scouts recovered an estimated 12,000 American Flags. The Republicans will be using them during the campaign as a reminder to all who care, which party is the party that respects our flag, our nation...and our military.


Democrats don't care and they can't even understand why they should.

Do you wonder why most of those who serve in our military vote Republican? They know the truth...and now you do too.

Long Live Our American Republic!!!!
