“I know there is a fair amount of coverage of the work of a few knuckleheads on Broad Street, and it is certainly unfortunate. But it would be unfair if the handywork of a few jackasses was the main story told from Broad Street last night, because I saw something quite different. I saw fathers telling their young sons to never forget this moment, old couples holding hands, drummers playing the buckets, madmen dancing around fireworks. Daredevils climbed to the tops of poles and swung from the trees. Reams of paper fell from the apartments and offices above. Bottles shattered. Strangers hugged. A chubby man covered from head to toe in green spandex jumped on top of a bus stop. Somewhere in the distance a bass drum pounded incessantly. There were cheers and screams and tears. It was a beautiful chaos, a glorious communal madness, a dance party at the asylum. For a few moments, we were just crazy enough to not see each other as rich or poor, black or white, young or old. For a brief period of time, we were simply Philadelphians. We were on top of the world. And the view was spectacular.”
The part that sucks is that she believes a lot of it.
Can this be true?
From Sunday’s Televised “Meet the Press” Senator Obama was asked
about his stance on the American Flag. Obama Explains National Anthem Stance
Sun, 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, General Bill Ginn’ USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain why he doesn’t follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.
The General also stated to the Senator 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. At the very least, “Stand and Face It”
Senator Obama Live on Sunday states, “As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t want to be perceived as taking sides, Obama said. ‘There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It 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.”We should consider to reinvent our National Anthem as well as to redesign our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. My wife disrespects the Flag for many personal reasons. Together she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past, many years ago. She has her views and I have mine”.
WHAAAAAAAT !!!
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you heard it right. This could possibly be our next President.
I, for one, am speechless.
