On Sat, 22 Mar 2008 18:48:04 -0400, 'LTG Bill Ginn' USAF ret. forwarded: Hot on the heels of his explanation for why he no longer wears a flag pin, presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama was forced to explain why he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.
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.
'As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides,' Obama said. (Your microchip is leaking bama boy. You are supposed to take our side...like Duh). We are the United States of America, not some flunky little nation to be manipulated by The Puppett Masters of the New World Order. Here's a new campaign song for you: "My strings are just blowing in the wind, pulled by a higher order." (And it "ain't" Jesus).
Obama speaks: '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.'
WHAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!!
Oh give us a break.... WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TO TRY TO REWRITE HISTORY AND TRADITION?, I SUPPOSE YOU WOULD HAVE MICHAEL JACKSON LEAD US IN A ROUSING RENDITION OF "ID LIKE TO TEACH THE WORLD TO SING."
If you are going to be that concerned about our oppressive state, go and run for the President of Kenya....a better fit anyway.)
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this could possibly be our next president.
Yes, the thought of this audacious, little cocky bantam rooster getting anywhere near the White House is more than depressing.
I, for one, am speechless! (Second and third it while I'm running for le Toilet.)
