Just Whose Side Are You On Anyway

THE THEN SENATOR BARACK OBAMA DISPLAYS HIS DISRESPECT
FOR THE NATIONAL ANTHEM AND THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES. 

I was watching television that day back in 2008 and I though there was no way this man could be elected president of the United States displaying that much disrespect for our National Anthem and The Flag of the United States. Oh, How wrong I was, not once but twice.

From Sunday, September 7, 2008, televised 'Meet the Press' Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag. 

Sun, 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, General Bill Ginn' USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain why he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.

The General also stated to the Senator that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171... During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. At the very least, 'Stand and Face It'. 

Senator Obama Explains his stance on the flag and America in general, “As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides, Obama said. There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might salute it. We should consider to reinvent our National Anthem as well as to redesign our Flag to better offer our enemies hope an love. It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we as a Nation of warring people, should conduct ourselves as the nations of Islam, whereas peace prevails. Perhaps a state or period of mutual concord between our governments. When I become President, I will seek a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation have placed upon the nations of Islam an unfair injustice. My wife disrespects the Flag for many personal reasons. Together she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past, many years ago. She has her views and I have mine'. Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put aside my hatred. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path of hope. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to OVERWHELM the United States of America.”

He does not want to be perceived as taking sides? Just what country is he the president of. If he ran for the presidency of the United States of America he surely chose to take sides. If not, then he should not be president. The president of the United States of America should be on our side!

  

I spent eight years in the United States Air Force and was proud to face the flag and salute during retreat every evening at 5 p.m. I have no respect for people who don't respect the flag for whom hundreds of thousands of men have died fighting our and our allies enemies from the revolution of 1781 to the Wars we are presently conducting in the middle east against those peace loving, suicide bombing Islam, Christian Killers and Jewish Killers. Peace loving....the north end of my plowing mule when he's on a southbound row.
