Oh.My.Heck!!! This guy is so funny! How stupid is it that he is spending this much time even thinking about a stupid flag pin, not to mention drafting a whole campaign strategy over it. First he refuses to wear one because he wants to redefine patriotism and then he decides to wear one because he’s afraid that the Republicans will use it against him in the general.
The flag pin that appeared on Barack Obama’s lapel is just the opening salvo of Operation Patriotism for the Democratic presidential candidate.
The Illinois senator overcame his longstanding reluctance to wear a flag pin after he was presented with one by a veteran in Charleston, West Virginia, on May 12. Obama is trying to head off what advisers expect to be a Republican effort to impugn his patriotism. His campaign plans to emphasize his family’s military ties, his work on behalf of veterans and his life story, said Richard Danzig, an adviser who was Navy secretary under former President Bill Clinton.
BTW, if he really wants to fight the Republicans on the patriotism charge, he might want to send his wife back to Chicago until he’s won the election.
And then there’s this:
The flag and other patriotic props will be displayed more often, Danzig said.
The flag as a prop. Hmmm…seems a little staged, don’t you think? Yes, I know that everyone uses the flag as a prop in during political campaigns but wasn’t Obama’s campaign supposed to be different? He’s just as staged and fake as everyone else. Admit it Obama supporters, he’s just a politician just like McCain and Clinton. There’s nothing new, fresh or different about him, he’s the same old same old.

The demise of America from a decent nation to a european cesspool of “anything goes” (except real Christian culture) deserves a president that will hurry the decaying process along. Anyone that believes that a “baby is punishment” is the right man to bring America to its knees and beheading. What will rise from the ahses of Obama’s future Gomorrica, will be many little civilizations rising in places that have kept the idea of America as not being a hate crime. The South will get its wish without firing a shot this time around. (Notice where most Christians are moving.) And the big cities that are dominating the election process, will go the way of the original S & G.

Sorry but I’m not interested in bringing the nation to its knees. I would rather reach people with the gospel instead.

“both-ways-michele” rips him for not wearing his patriotism on his lapel and then bashes him for wearing his patriotism on his lapel. face it, this is his way of opening up to those of you who don’t believe that patriotism is a spirit inside and not a pin outside. you are a piece of work. you, sweetie, are the same old, same old, playing the same old lines from the same old tattered republican playbook. if you can’t win on policy and platform, accuse the liberals of being unpatriotic. and if that’s not enough, then attack his wife. classy.
of course he’s a politician. just a man. you’re the one here who keeps saying otherwise. but he’s a man who is a leader with a vision. he’s not like mccain in the least. mccain has a vision of status quo. bush 08.
did anybody teach mcnutty the difference between the islamic sects that we’ve been warring with for the past 3 bush terms? that would be good information for a president to figure out. (and this is his strong suit? uh oh.)
