American Patriotism Is On Life Support. Let’s Revive It Again

@soar2newhighs Thanks for your service!

@rfatoday you’re welcome.

@Freeranger God bless you and all your brothers.

@Budwick No fear man. Semper Fidelis.

@Musicman Your comment is BS.

Fact Check: Obama doesn't avoid the flag
FACT: Other presidents have spoken in venues without the flag.

Many Times-Union readers want to know:

An e-mail shows a photo of President Barack Obama at a news conference with no American flags behind him. The e-mail says it's intentional and that he's the first president to display a lack of patriotism at such events. Is this true?

The photo accompanying the chain e-mail was taken at a May 27 news conference in which Obama addressed the Gulf oil spill. Normally, in a White House location (this was in the East Room), flags are behind the president - any president - as numerous photos show. In this case, no flags are visible in the photo. A look at the video shows no flags even when the camera fully zooms out.
But to say that Obama shuns American flags and that he is the first president to eschew the red, white and blue is just plain inaccurate.

And there are many examples to back this up.
In addition, there are photos of other presidents at news conferences without flags, including Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. As Snopes.com points out, "due to other factors (e.g., an event's nature or its being impromptu, or its being held at an unusual location), an opportunity to set up U.S. flag backdrops may be missed or skipped."

Oh, about that chain e-mail photo from May 27? Close-ups reveal that Obama is wearing a flag pin.

@JSul3 Your "fact checking" is a croc of crap! Online liberal trolls don't impress me.

@BritishFailedAesthetic Bingo. That''s who Guevara was

@graphite One of those rare occasions where we can rarely agree for once (apart from the Christian forum), he was a mass murder.

@BritishFailedAesthetic That sums up a Democrat.

@Musicman It's such a shame- I can never vote conservative because I believe in Keynesian economics but my side are unfortunately full of these sorts of people nowadays 😔

@JSul3 No the libs pulled a fast one

@MasterLee BS.

@JSul3 certainly was

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Yup, they couldn't realise how corrupt he would turn out.

@Corporalcolleague I did nothing to question your patriotism
Maybe it's some guilt feelings over what you said.

@Budwick negative

@Budwick that is how it registered

@SW-User
Edit:


Kirvaja, don't make look bad you deleted the reply I was reffering too, I followed you up until that point.

@MasterLee Why would I knowingly eat British food?

@ArcticDave you were the one with the tp

@MasterLee TP?

@Eternity Actually,the nation,among other attributes,creates the best economy for it's working class in comparison with the rest of the world.(Although there's much they could do to make it better still.)The evidence of this fact is the vast number of people who are desperate to get into the country by any means necessary.

@MarmeeMarch so you lack the intelligence to even explain your own thoughts, and instead just repeat yourself like a confused child does when teacher asks them a question they can't answer.
No surprise whatsoever.

@MarmeeMarch My point exactly. You are now claiming everyone flying the flag is a MAGA supporter. And MAGA supporters are racist. Every last one of them.

@MarmeeMarch you didn't come up so glorious in Vietnam and Afghanistan, as I recall...🤔

@Richard65 Correct.

They lost two wars with third world countries. Rice farmers and goat herders eat US marines for breakfast.
