Barack Obama Is Anti-American



Obama Stops Wearing American Flag Pin

WATERLOO, Iowa (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama says he doesn't wear an American flag lapel pin because it has become a substitute for "true patriotism" since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Asked about it Wednesday in an interview with KCRG-TV in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, the Illinois senator said he stopped wearing the pin shortly after the attacks and instead hoped to show his patriotism by explaining his ideas to citizens. "The truth is that right after 9/11 I had a pin," Obama said. "Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we're talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for I think true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security. "I decided I won't wear that pin on my chest," he said in the interview. "Instead, I'm going to try to tell the American people what I believe will make this country great, and hopefully that will be a testament to my patriotism."

Wild Thing's comment.........

I really am going to have a problem with this person if he wins the election. I don't care if he doesn't wear the Flag lapel pin that is not the point. What does matter to me is the reason he gives why he does not wear one.

If he wins I will not call him President or even Mr., I will show no form of respect for this total POS.

True patriotism is telling Americans that liberty isn't free, and that ultimate sacrifices were made over 231 years so that our nation could still live freedom every second of every minute of every hour ... DAILY! Speaking out FOR Old Glory is patriotism!! In our house, FLAG DAY is every day!!!

Just how dumb is old Howdy Doody? It ain't the pin that is just a symbol of patriotism.
It's every American unafraid to show that they care about America and see her for her beauty and strength. Those who care enough to fly the flag, not just on holidays, but every day.
Those who say we will NOT go blindly into the night without a fight! (thank you Independence Day).
Obamanation is as unamerican as they come.

In 1956 I stood in front of an Army recruiting officer and took an oath to defend the Constitution of the United States and to obey the orders of its President. At least that's how I have remembered it. For 52 years I have been true to that oath, even through J. Carter, B. Clinton, and G. Bush. At 75 years of age I am still just as ready (spiritually if not physically) to answer the call from the Prez. If Hussein Obama is elected all bets are off and I will have no more commitment to the President. He will get zero loyalty from me. My threshhold for dropping my patriotism is far higher than his was on the pin subject but everything has limits. My flag pole was broken by the wind but I'm going to the garage to put it back together and the flag will be up before the day is over. If you're an American and you're ever going to fly a flag this may be your last chance.

Almost all of my basic training company at Fort Jackson SC in 1957 were very young African-American men from the streets of Washington DC. At the end of training I would have proudly gone into combat with all of them. They were Americans and proudly wore the uniform, pins and all. Hussein Obama doesn't deserve to be compared to those men. He couldn't carry their backpacks, let alone their M1's. I pray that God will save us from him and his kind.

Obama says he is patriotic, but to whom/what? He may be patritic to sharia law, to mohammad, to Africa.

I hope his lack of American patriotism wakes up some of his blind followers.

Dirty kuffar comes to mind but then again he's a closet muzzie. What is more disturbing is the number of unpatriotic followers who don't have an inkling of what they are getting the nation into.

He is going to change something that is already a great Nation ? What is greater that the freest nation in the world and in the history of Man ?

He wouldn't even put his hand over his heart when the National Anthem was played, he stood there like any other past black Panther would have done, sans the black power salute.

This is not going to be a good year for America, unless there are some drastic changes made, and I don't mean the kind this Moslem shil wants to foist on the American people.

Horace, thank you so much for sharing, I agree. I have met so many wonderful, heck awesome black men Veterans, and troops serving today. Every one of them loves this country and served proudly. They would disagree with what Obama said I am sure of it.

We fly our Flag too Horace, I love it.It makes me feel so good when we are coming home from an errand or anything and see our Flag flying in our front yard.

Tom I hope so too. I just don't understand how anyone can live in Americian, be an American and not be sooooo proud of our country and our Flag and what it stands for.

Jack that's true, they really are following blindly.

Mark, yes, I can't for the life of me figure out what is so horrible that needs to be changed. One would think we were a third world country and we were all livingin prison's the way they talk about America.
