HA! I'm going to have to remember that!

But make no mistake, it is not just McCain-backers/Obama-haters that are engaging in this. The Obama-backer/McCain-haters are doing the same. It doesn't reflect well on the intellect or maturity of anyone.

Intellectually Circumsized!

Appreciate it. Just trying to keep a level head. Both have good and bad and I try to be fair. Humor is to help lighten things up. I try to point out most that for real change we need to fix Congress. Both Obama and McCain mean well but Congress will be their worst enemy. It always seem to work out that way.

You are Probably correct and it was kind of ignorant of me to make that comment. Most of the time I just browse ATS and on the main page I don't think a day goes by without an Obama attack. There have been attacks on Mccain but I don't think I have seen any where they attack him for not wearing is lapel pin or anything that seems minute but made up to be more than it is.

"Ignorance is the condition of being uninformed or uneducated, lacking knowledge or information"

These actions by BHO are more indicative of his Arrogance, rather then his Anti-American ideals.

That being said, The McCain party is doing Everything and MORE to try to throw this election. Mabye McCain is just being advised from Traitors from Within...

Its going to be intresting to see who the running mates are. If McCain picks some liberal lacky like Guliani or Huckabee, his campain should be dead in the water.

McCain is the Classical liberal. And thats what this country is heading for not. A classic liberal, not a Far Left Socialist.

Whats that last phrase. Far Left Socialist? Does that rub the Obamabots the wroung way? The truth hurt?

BHO has been consistaly Rated the Most 'Liberal' member of Congres. To the left of Bernie Sanders of Vermot, the only open socalist in the US Congres.

So, thats why i call BHO a Far left Socialist. He is more to the left then an OUTRIGHT socialist. So what should we call that?


We need to call our canidates for what they ARE, not what they want to be called.

For instance, GWB has been the most finnacaly liberal president in American History. His polices on the economy and finances can HARDLY be called conservative, and more reflect the typical liberal veiwpoint. So, the last 8 years, we have been subjected to the LArgest expasion of Govermental powers, and the largest increase in goverment spending we have EVER seen. Are those the typical Conservative actions? Or are those the standard issue for Liberals.


Don't be afraid to say what BHO and McCain are. BHO is an Far Left Liberal-Quasi-Socialist. And, McCain is you average Liberal. To the Left of GWB, and DEFINATLY left of center.

What is this a joke? Of all the claims you can make about Obama not being a good choice you choose the fact a flag isn't on his campaign plane. This is what is the decider for you?

So I guess you go to work with an American flag on your car, wearing a tie with the American flag on, and an American flag lapel pin, and American flag underwear too, to show how much you love your country?

You don't think letting people know how much you love your country through your words or actions is the way to do it, but by having a lapel pin?

Well guess what, the American flag, that symbol you admire so much, all those flags, lapel pins and stickers are made in Korea. The flag that is so important to you isn't even made in America.

It's called symbolic patriotism Andrew.

"Symbolic Patriotism" ...I like that It's much better than "genuine" patriotism. Appearance over substance. It should be the GOPs tag line.

Sure, and let's just steal the symbol from Close Encounters of Third Kind to demonstrate this devoted Patriotism by Obama.

I guess he and Oprah are going to have to get trademarks to their Big "O" symbols.

Here's two pics of McCain's plane. No flag...





Oh dear. Must mean he's an arrogant wannabe dictator closet muslim terrorist who's gonna force all your daughters to have abortions.

I think you have McCain confused with Obama.

[B]Even on this board, the hate for Obama rears its ugly head.

Why not at least be up front and honest about it guys?

You don't hate Obama because of his policies or the alleged missing US flag on his plane.

As is always the case in America, it comes down to race sadly.

A racist by any other name would smell as foul.

NICE FIND!

So, to the usual cast of Obama bashers, I ask you:
Why does John McCain hate America so much?!?!

He doesn't wear a flag pin, doesn't have a flag on his plane... the arrogance of this elitist, America-hating snob!

Why, most hardworking white Americans have flag pins on every layer of their clothing, flags on their planes, flags tatooed on their behinds...

Why doesn't John McCain?
Is he an America-hating secret socialist?
Possibly a ZOMG SECRET MUSLIM AGENT?!?!?

(Do you guys realize how ridiculous you sound yet? Probably not )

This is exactly the the kind of response MemoryShock is trying to curtail in this forum.

How is this anywhere relevant to any level of communication?

Funny how the other Candidates have the Flag on the tail.

You mean candidate.

You do the math.

For jetx....

If you love McCrazy so much, can you explain why he thinks Iraq and Pakistan share a border?? If you're wondering what I'm talking about, just look up his latest PR 'crusade' on the three major networks in the last days.

Too bad Joe 'LIE'berman wasn't there at his side, to correct him......

So it must be different this year then, each Candidate is using their web address on their planes. Obama is using both his Close Encounters of the Third Kind symbol and his web address.

What symbol will he steal next (he already tried the Presidential Seal)? What lines in his new speeches will he use from someone else?

Afterall, like Obama said "I stood on the shoulders of giants".

Now he's ripping off Issac Newton. What an insult to Issac Newton.

Hate to be the one to tell you to stay on topic on your own thread, but....
That last post was completely irrelevant and nonsensical.

Having a flag does not mean you are a "patriot" or more patriotic then someone else. This thread is almost as dumb as the "Obama won't wear a stupid pin so he loves muslims" thread.

Wasn't that you too???

Ok what is up with Obama, He doesnt wear the American Flag pin, like everyone else and he takes the American Flag off his plane. Do we really want someone running this country who wont even show patrionism. Not that McCain is any better. I dont know what to think about Obama. Our first black person running for president should have been Collen Powell. Where is he????????????????????????

Watch the FOX video earlier in this thread. There's clearly an American flag on McCains. Not on the Tail but just to the front of it on the upper belly of the Jet. Not that it matters, both of these tools are just puppets to the elite. Just thought I'd point that out.

Vote 3rd party. Vote to make a true change.

No it wasn't me. The Flag pin was a tradition since 9/11 that all Candidates do not forget what happened that day.

I guess Obama supports 9/11 or blames America, so why should he honor America? He didn't.
