Hmmm, Obama's New Flag Seems Vaguely Familiar...

Does anyone else find that flag creepy? It reverses the relationship between country and elected leader, putting Obama above the country rather than serving it. Like I said in another thread, there is a cultish behavior by his supporters that don't think twice about creating items like this flag.

America went on vacation and it came back in time for me to be born?! LAME!

I find those creepy as well. IMO, you don't mess with the American flag (although I defend the right of those who choose to burn it). At least those all still have stars. And for the record, there is a "Grant & Colfax" intersection a mile or so from my house.

That one doesn't offend me as much. It's a comment that corporations are taking over the country. It wasn't made by those corporations. It's art; disrespectful art, but art nevertheless. What does the Obama flag say to you?

I don't really get bothered by things like that. Politicians like to be seen surrounded by patriotic symbolism. Can you imagine what people would say if there were no US flags on Obama's site? "I was just looking at Obama's reelection website and he didn't have one US flag on there. He hates America!"

Is it really that much different than this?

Again, if President Obama wishes to use a flag as a backdrop, I have zero problem with it. What bothers me is removing the stars (representing the states) and replacing it with his campaign logo. It's legal; I just find the message disturbing. And I would find it as disturbing if there were a flag with the Red and Blue "R" of the Romney campaign.

I think it is. Mitt Romney isn't modifying the flag, making it a personification of himself. It appears I'm in the minority on this position, which isn't anything new.

Sure, history is good. But you can't control the media today in the same way Hitler did, so I don't think your example works.

I meant in the USA. The suggestion was that Obama controls the media in the US.

are you saying that the press is not under the antichrist obummers spell? If obummer said that it was raining clowns, the media would print it, and when they found that there were no clowns falling, they would blame the Republicans

whatever you're having, I want some.

I was leaning towards voteing for Obama but after seeing this flag it has become clear to me that Obama hates America. I also find the name calling of Obummer, Obummble, and Dear Leader to be extremely clever and persuasive. Good thing this post was made just in time.

Yeah, one suggests you should pledge allegiance, the other suggests the candidates pledges allegiance.

Today seems to take an extra amout of right wing proganda to cover up Mitts latest choke fest.

I see right through it.

Terrible video for Romney to be put out there. Kills him.

I hate clowns. I'm glad that Obama was able to halt the evil clown storm. And look at you, spinning it as if the Republicans stopped it. Shame. But I wouldn't expect anything less.
