Obama has Desecrated the flag!

[Playinghardball]

So Republican idiots are trying to make a HUGE deal out of this Obama graphic. But once again, we see just how hypocritical they are. No problem when Reagan does it -- only when the black guy does. I've had enough of this small-ball crap. Repost to share with all of the hypocrites in your life.

2. I saw some FB hyperventilating on this yesterday

"I'll NEVER pledge allegiance to that flag!" As if anybody is asking them to.

3. If there is something I have a pet peeve about is the flag being used as all kind of things. I see

people in both parties doing it and it really bothers me alot. Especially since many military soldiers died for that right to have old glory fly high and proud. That is the only way it should be used.

5. This is why I propose a constitutional amendment requiring the pledge to be said each time a person

sees the flag in any form (t-shirt, bumper sticker, hat, flag). They must say it out loud, with their hand over their heart or saluting if they are in uniform.

20. Well there already is a law against wearing the flag as a shirt, boots, hats, pants, etc. They

already don't enforce that law. But I gotta say that would be funny.

27. Cause they are made in China

See we didn't do it.

6. I come from a military family (both parents) and spent six years in service during Viet Nam ...

... I never, ever heard anyone indicate they were fighting for the right to fly old glory. Never.

18. Try alittle farther back like WWII. I have 2 vets retired from the military and both wounded in war

time. My father-in-law was in Korea and VN and my dad was in VN before the buildup. My own husband retired with 21 yrs. I remember both father and my father-in-law getting upset seeing people wear the stars and stripes as clothing, boots, hats. All kinds of things. I remember them saying how sad it was to see old glory being missed used and yes even being set on fire. Thank your parents for service in the military especially during VN. Those soldiers got a raw deal. But just because you never heard it doesn't mean it didn't happen. In my military home back then and threw my own husband's service we did talk about it.

19. My father and mother both served during WW II. I served during VN.

None of us served a piece of cloth.

22. Great for you and your family. Thank you for your service. Like I said IN MY FAMILY we did and

still talk about things like that. Like I said just because you didn't talk about it doesn't mean we didn't talk about it. It's no big deal. For us in my family it was important. My mother and husband both came here from other countries and have a wonderful attitude about the flag. Every special holiday the flag goes up in our homes. I bet you put one up to.

28. I think we should all just fly our state flags more often

It's like battle of the states game anyway

Right now mine is sucking ass in education but tops in high school football....
Hopefully less religiosity and more science will change that trend in the next 70-90 years or so

[southernyankeebelle]

30. Totally agree with the last line. It alway strikes me that each side prays to win the game. As if

god has the time or cares who wins a game.

4. We can extend the pic and add Bush Jr and Romney as well. n/t

9. Please its not the flag...its not even close...

What is desecrating is people wrapping themselves in the flag and wearing clothes made like a flag. Think back to all those evente where you see flag clothing or just google flag clothes.

U.S. Flag Code, section 4-(d)
The flag should never be used as wearing apparel, bedding, or drapery. It
should never be festooned, drawn back, nor up, in folds, but always allowed to
fall free.

10. Someone mentioned this to me the other day.

I had not heard it, but they were screaming: "He's gunna change the flag!1!!1!"

Aw, jeez....

[Curtland1015]

12. I think they said that last election too.

Along with disbanding the military and swearing his oath of office on the Koran.

What a bunch of nutbars.

15. You know those five stripes represent the five pillars of Islam, right?

That's what I've learned from reading through the comments at that link.

11. The GOP put the elephant on their flag pins!

THAT is a true desecration. They put their party logo on the US flag. 'Nuff said.

U.S. Flag Code (4 USC § 8 (g)):
"The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature."


The Obama flag - and even the Reagan/Bush flag - are not actual American flags. The designs certainly resemble the flag, but that doesn't make them American flags. Basically, they're art.

14. U.S. Flag Code (4 USC § 8 (g)):

"The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature."

13. Those flags were not put out by the Obama campaign, anyway.

I think it was one county office that hung a flag that someone gave to them. It's not something that was done by Obama or top officials.

16. Lincoln's guilty too

17. It's NOT a flag so it can't be desecrated, it's some red paint stripes in a square. I guess

they really are that stupid.

23. Their hypocrisy knows no bounds. nt

24. Yah, Megan Kelly was having a stroke over this last week.....

25. Nasty fucks keep throwing out the shit

and hoping something will stick with the American public. Sick....

[lonestarnot]

26. I also love it when I wake up in the morning and Barack Obama is President.

29. Here's a Clean Reagan-Bush Flag Poster

Share with your misguided 'Friends' on FaceBook.

32. They both have one thing in common...

Only nine stripes.
