Title: Obama and the pledge of allegiance
Post by: TexGun on April 13, 2008, 03:35:24 PM
Get a load of the attached pic... 

So, do you think if this guy actually gets elected he will refuse to place his hand on a Bible as well?

His "people" are claiming it was during the national anthem. So, why isn't anyone singing?

This guy is a train wreck waiting to happen. Given the cover of Rolling Stone, on which he was practically portrayed as walking on water, the brainless mopes who read that rag probably can't/don't won't care about this. Sad.

Who was it that said "Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition"?

Obama TRIES To Explains National Anthem Stance  - This  Lt General has it right.


Subject: Obama Explains National Anthem Stance 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. "There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem it self 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."

"I don't think my church is actually particularly controversial." - Barack Obama. If someone had told me 64 years ago, as I was roaring down the runway

in the most beautiful airplane in the world, that I would see our country subjected to one of the most disgusting Presidential elections imaginable, I would have told them they were crazy as hell....

What in the world have we come to?

Obama wants to be the leader of the American Military. What a Joke!!!!!!

You gotta be kiddin me >:(
He makes our religons out to be nothing more than wives tales and folklore.
He wants to take away our rights calling them usless and the ones who made them rights fools.
He disgraces our flag and national anthem.

This might come back to bite me in the a** since our rights "no longer apply in todays world"

He will probibaly be called Mr. President, but I call him a Traitor!

If its a fight they want,  well they get!

As me, my Father, and Grandfather have always said "Don't leave me breathing,  because I'll just come back for more!"
And if you ask my cuzinz (mispelling intended) "We will never go to War alone!"

I've been trying to find a source for this quote, and it isn't in the SNOPES reference.  The only place I've seen it is on other forums and blogs.  It has the ring of truth to it, and I'd like to believe it, but if it's not true, we shouldn't be spreading it.
