So, I tried a new game here in Denver. It’s called “find an American flag the Democrats put up.” Considering the elaborate effort they made to Obama up the town, they certainly would have found time to stick up a flag or two right? As in, not one built into the Pepsi center by someone else. Let’s play, hmm?
First, the compound:
Hmmm. Well, they must inside then, right?
Okay, short video. Let’s try photos then:
Hmm. I guess the Democrats just felt flags were too old fashioned for Obama. Maybe that’s why he took the flag off his plane. The Obama logo is so much more “now”.
Can you imagine the decorating committee meeting? “Flags are soooo 2001. We need something hip. How about, like, some stars on abstract backgrounds. Of course, that blue has to go. Can we get something that feels more “sky”? You know, it’s like, the environment. Drop the stripes wherever you can, too, they make you look fat.”
So if the Democrats put up an American flag anywhere, I don’t see it. But hey, at least they remembered their red, white, and Fox-news-blue colored “Bush Eats Babies and Destroys Science All The Time” bus. So there’s that, right?
Wow. Some Dem will probably buy this, too.
LatteLibertarian Wednesday, August 27th at 3:25PM EDT (link)That’s hilarious. Also, you’ll see that they use red, white, and blue (plus white stars) pretty much everywhere, but not in the form of a flag. Is this disrespectful? We can pretend!
Also, if you listen to the music played at the convention, practically none of it is traditional patriotic music. I say, if they play anything other than ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ and ‘God Bless America’, they’re disrespecting the troops. Even ‘Yankee Doodle Dandy’ would be pushing it.
You racist/bigot/homophobe
tvjohn2 Wednesday, August 27th at 3:26PM EDT (link)These are just distractions, a prime example of the old style of politics that Obama will liberate us from.
O so clever
Caleb Howe Wednesday, August 27th at 3:40PM EDT (link)You know, you’re right. There’s nothing wrong with taking the flag “concept” and making it your own. These are modern times! That explains the Obama redesigned Presidential seal, too! Hallelujah I’ve seen the light!!
Scrap that anthem. That’s yesterdays-ville man. I say we open the RNC with “My Humps” by the black eyed peas. You know, so we’re as classy as you.

maybelle Thursday, August 28th at 1:56PM EDT (link)What is wrong with you people. I wonder how many of you spent any time in the military? Tell you what friend. You have to much time on your hands. Wheter you want to believe it or not a lot of Vets support Obama. I come from a long line of military family that were in the services over 20 yrs each. You don’t have a right to say who is a patriot or who isn’t. I don’t ever see McCain wearing a pin on his suit. Oh forgot he was a POW oops. If you want a flag I would be glad to send you a flag my father carried around during WWII. He was a life long democratic. He was wounded during WWII. He also served in Korea. Its ok to disagree with someone but you are being disrespectful to others. The republicans haven’t been doing so well the last 8 yrs. Bush brought us to war with a country that didn’t invade us. Now I had my say. I guess like this administration I don’t hold your point of view so I will be banned. But it is your loss. Look the mirror all the republican party can come up with is McCain who has a bad temper and will push the button before thinking. A lot of senators that work with him should to the right thing for the country and tell the truth about his temper.

Nevertheless, after reading your comments, I still can’t find your point, other than anger at many of us for supporting McCain. And considering all, with Obama as the opponent, there are VERY good reasons to support McCain! Trust me.
