Old stuff but worth reading again...just to remind us how arrogant and pompous he is.



 












Yes, he told us in advance what he planned to do. Few were listening.





















The following is a narrative taken from a 2008 Sunday morning televised "Meet The Press'.





















From Sunday's 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, Televised "Meet the Press" THE THEN Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag.





















General Bill Gann' USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.





















The General stated to Obama that 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. Or, at the very least, "Stand and Face It".





















NOW GET THIS !!





















'Senator Obama replied:





















"As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides". "There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression.." "The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing."





















(ARE YOU READY FOR THIS???)





















Obama continued: "The National Anthem 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. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as 'redesign' our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a Nation of warring people, conduct ourselves like the nations of Islam, where peace prevails - - - perhaps a state or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments ......"





















When I become President, I will seek a pact of agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation, have placed upon the nations of Islam, an unfair injustice which is WHY my wife disrespects the Flag and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past".





















"Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First black Family. Indeed,CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America "





















Yes, you read it right.





















I, for one, am speechless!!!

HOWEVER it is very true the POS did not put his hand over his heart for the Anthem.

Luvda, I go to snopes.com when I want to check the validity or authenticity of things like this. I don't know if they are always right but so far they seem accurate.

it's obvious he said this...  I found another one of his quotes before he became president:


"back when I was born in Kenya we didn't have plumbing or toilets, we just pooped in our front yard and we liked it... oh, and we ate dogs too!"


we need to spread the word!!!

Now, now, Art, reading Obumbler's mind doesn't count - although it is classified as "light reading" for most people.

I usually do, not sure I trust them anymore there are so many stories I've heard, Prof. We need someone to verify Snopes??? Smile It's impossible to tell what's accurate and what's not these days. It's like photoshopped pictures. Ah technology.Undecided

Well, there is google.  That's where I always check before I quote something I don't know for sure.


My instinct usually alerts me anyhow.  If it sounds too good (or too bad) to be true, it probably is.


Of course, I was an agnostic for 25 years; so, I'm pretty hard to convince of anything.


In fact, the only thing I'm absolutely certain of is René Descartes' philosophical starting point:


"I think; therefore, I am."


"Cogito ergo sum" in Latin and "Je pense, donc je suis" in his native French.


Yes, I have actually read his "Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting One's Reason and of Seeking Truth in the Sciences."  In fact, it's the first book on philosophy I ever read and convinced me to study the subject deeply.  I had, in fact, an "unofficial" minor in philosophy, because my college did not recognize minors, only majors.  My major was history, totally useless career wise, but extremely useful in understanding the world, past, present and future.

A sign of the times. People are inherently trusting so it's easy to take advantage of that fact. You really can't believe photographic evidence anymore unless you forensically scour every pic.
