American flag disappears from Obama campaign jet... trademark 'O' replaces it.

[dralarms]

Salute the flag? I've never done that in my life. When is it done?

Only if you are military and in uniform (officially) but I am proud of my flag and have saluted it from time to time while in civies.

It looks like a huge urinal deodorant puck to me. DON'T EAT THE BREATH MINT!!!

ROTFLOL.

As a civilian, you wouldn't. You'd simply cover your heart with your hand (think Pledge of Allegiance) when the national anthem is played.

Military personnel salute the flag instead, at various ceremonial moments.

Yep, beat me to it.

A buddy of mine just got back from Israel. Apparently they think it's hilarious that anyone would even think about voting for him.

See quotre below

They won't think it's so funny if he gets elected.

Yes I think the first thing he will do is to break ties with Israel. Bad mojo. This man (black, white, don't make a crap to me) is out to make our nation a laughing stock of the world.

Now is the time for the battle cry. Real men and women of the United States of America unite to defeat this enemy on our own soil. (And I mean that as in vote to keep him out). I would not encourage anyone to do or say anything except to vote our hearts and pray that the rest of the USA will do the same.

Not all people in service to their country are in uniform. I agree with you. Besides, if you are a veteran, you deserve the right to show it.

I went to a Veteran's Day ceremony several years ago and was "instructed" by a guy in charge that it was improper to salute in civies. I basically told him to get ****ed. Shortly after, he tried to recruit me for the Order of the Purple Heart. I declined. I've never met anyone in that group who wasn't really weird. I mean - really weird. I later heard he was telling people that they didn't actually have to have a Purple Heart to get in. BTW, I have two.

Fortunately, IMHO, he has died since then. Some people are not an asset to the world.

Can anyone tell me what the tail feathers of George W. Bush's campaign plane looked like?

[Guest Verbal Kint]

Can anyone tell me what the tail feathers of George W. Bush's campaign plane looked like?

No. I recall Kerry's plane having red, white, and blue stars on the tail... but can't recall Bush's plane. Do you know? Or are you asking? I assume he had something patriotic on the jet, or an American flag somewhere on the fuselage.

Obama, on the other hand, has been adamantly against anything to do with the American flag since the beginning. So if you're trying to make a point that all the candidates design their own campaign look, that excuse doesn't hold much water. This SOB doesn't want anything to do with our flag or what the country was founded on... yet wants to take the oval office. He can go **** himself.

[Guest SUNTZU]

It looked like this.

[Marswolf]

Yep, much ado about absolutely nothing.

[Fasttalker]

Have Y'all given much thought to what will likely happen if he loses?

If he wins, we ALL lose, but I'm afraid if he loses we all lose. The media and all the racial hatemongers will blame it on "the racist white establishment".

Either way, win or lose, I think most of us are in trouble.

Just my two cents worth.

[Guest Valkyrie]

I will never NEVER vote for a candidate who disrespects the symbol of our country the way Obama has. Dude is a waste of time and space. I hope like hell the American people wake the eff up and realize that electing this asshat is the dumbest thing they could possibly do. Wow.

This upsets me big time. How can someone wanting to be the leader of this country show so much disrespect for it? And how can people see someone like this dbag and think he'd be a good choice for president?!

[Guest Verbal Kint]

I guess it's obvious who my family is voting for.

[molonlabetn]

Too bad they didn't get the tail-number of the jet in the shot...

I don't like his vote on the recent FISA bill, but I think Obama will be a very good President, maybe a great one.

Are you ****ing kidding me?

So surely you've noticed that the opinion you just shared is not a popular one on this forum. Care to give any reasons, or are you just gonna toss it out there and run for cover?

LMAO, your either on crack or have a very sick sense of humor.

AnTi-Christ...

heh. Implausible though, 'O' is too pathetic to pull of world domination or playing a deity.

[strickj]

I think his handle tells us that he is not kidding.

Although I think obama is a joke myself,I dont think stoning Lefty is needed.After all he does support firearms!

[Rightwinger]

Lefty just "feels" he is a good man. He wants to raise our "awareness" of yobama. He will soon post yobama's carbon foot print for all of us to sit in awe of!

Raising awareness and feelings...its all they got and it amounts to zilch. No substance, no character, lots of "change", just nothing happening.

I believe this country is in trouble whichever of these two jokers get elected. I expect riots either way. Hope I'm wrong.--MP

Yeah your right,who am I kidding! Let the stoning begin

[Rightwinger]

Well they are victims of the vast RIGHTwing conspiracy!

I actually "cleaned" up my lambasting of ole Lefty a bit there. Did not want to violate the COC over fluff.

Maybe he will come back and try to defend his choice, with a fact or two supported by logic and numbers, not wishes and feelings though.

[Guest Lefty]

Sorry, I posted on a break and went back to work. I think he's shown a lot of foresight, political toughness and savvy. I believe he will be able to steer the country back towards the middle by turning left while keeping us in business without following the fascist tendencies of our present administration. There is no use in quoting numbers or facts, people don't use them to vote.
