If a Canadian flag touched the ground at any other time it had to be burned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041404668013008872.post-38969648775929771352008-08-31T15:03:00.000-07:002008-08-31T15:03:00.000-07:00A simple phrase; "..and the Nation for which it st...A simple phrase; "..and the Nation for which it stands..."<BR/>I bet they brought home thier coffee mugs and tee shirts.<BR/>The gut-wrenching irony in this is that "...and the Nation for which it stands.." seems to have been missed.<BR/>They'd risk life and limb for their Louis Vuitton's and Gucchi's completely discounting the fact that they represent only conspicuous consumption.<BR/>It has been touted that Obama's disciples are among the better educated (third generation programmed and dumbed down minds) of the country.<BR/>But this element of "Americana" live by symbols, sound-bytes and how-to-dress-by-picture-book periodicals and make their decisions accordingly.<BR/>Otherwise they'd reflect on "...and the Nation for which it stands.."; our flags flown over American graves in foreign countries, have been in the vanguard of liberating forces and has shared its resources with more of the world than any other nation, and which has never taken the native lands of our enemies.David Barry O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08331007985962351381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041404668013008872.post-39726640312471230982008-08-31T08:00:00.000-07:002008-08-31T08:00:00.000-07:00I was thinking that they would at least want to ta...I was thinking that they would at least want to take them home for a souvenir or to give to their children.<BR/><BR/>The only thing that looks nice in the picture is the program that is also tossed away without care... the one that says Obama... the one that belongs there in the trash. <BR/><BR/>What does that mean?

I'd like to think I would have handled it at least a little more tactfully than simply trashing it along with my spent drink bottles, but I can't say for sure.<BR/><BR/>What I can say is that the convention runners absolutely should have thought about it. Those loons think of everything; there are no accidents. <BR/><BR/>So I'll give the masses the benefit of the doubt on this one, but the Democratic party...well, shame, shame, shame.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10363879464584026428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041404668013008872.post-86586591270767382592008-08-30T19:23:00.000-07:002008-08-30T19:23:00.000-07:00Typical...you can fill in the rest.If I were a dru...Typical...you can fill in the rest.<BR/><BR/>If I were a drunken sailor I could finish the line...<BR/><BR/>Typical &%@/$#îßπΣσ± Obama supporters.Storm'n Norm'nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10513268787691532681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5041404668013008872.post-88026880657497681462008-08-30T17:50:00.000-07:002008-08-30T17:50:00.000-07:00When I look at this, I see people who expected to ...When I look at this, I see people who expected to wave the flag, or maybe it was handed to them as they walked-in the door at the Convention. <BR/><BR/>I could never dump the flag in the trash like that - and especially not in a public arena.
