Ashamed of Their Country

Timothy Egan, Statist nytimes.com blogger: "Traveling in California and New York over the last couple of weeks, I noticed something in the summer landscape of these two deeply blue states that is more reminiscent of rural America this time of year -- a surfeit of American flags.

Among the offerings of street vendors in Harlem and outdoor stalls near the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the flag is often fused with the image of President Obama, a burst of color against a bleak wall, sometimes with a Superman motif. In California, I saw Old Glory on bicycles in the Bay Area, on backpacks in Yosemite and at campgrounds under the redwoods.

It's not unusual to see a flag in liberal provinces, of course. But in the Bush years of sanctioned torture and war built on deceit, many Americans withdrew from overt displays of patriotism. Some said they were ashamed of their country."

These guys can fly all the flags they want and I know they don't support the values and beliefs of this country. If they did, they wouldn't be working to 'change' and 'remake' America. The would be working within the framework of the Constitution to strengthen Liberty and Freedom, not make the population subservient in a new Amerika.

Obama portrayed as Superman. What a hoot! The "S" on his leotards stands for 'Statist'.
