</span></font>Can you believe this! The American Flag From Sunday's
Televised 'Meet the<font face="Arial Black"><span style="" arial=""
black??=""> <br>
</span></font>Press' Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the
American Flag. Obama<font face="Arial Black"><span style="" arial=""
black??=""> <br>
</span></font>Explains National Anthem Stance Sun, 07 Sept. 2008
11:48:04 EST, General<font face="Arial Black"><span style="" arial=""
black??=""> <br>
</span></font>Bill Ginn' USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain why he
doesn't follow protocol<font face="Arial Black"><span style="" arial=""
black??=""> <br>
</span></font>when the National Anthem is played. The General also
stated to the Senator<font face="Arial Black"><span style="" arial=""
black??=""> <br>
</span></font>that according to the United States Code, Title 36,
Chapter 10, Sec. 171...<font face="Arial Black"><span style="" arial=""
black??=""> <br>
</span></font>During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is
displayed, all<font face="Arial Black"><span style="" arial=""
black??=""> <br>
</span></font>present except those in uniform are expected to stand at
attention facing<font face="Arial Black"><span style="" arial=""
black??=""> <br>
</span></font>the flag with the right hand over the heart. At the very
least, 'Stand and<font face="Arial Black"><span style="" arial=""
black??=""> <br>
</span></font>Face It' Senator Obama Live on Sunday states, 'As I've
said about the flag<font face="Arial Black"><span style="" arial=""
black??=""> <br>
</span></font>pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides, Obama
said. 'There are a<font face="Arial Black"><span style="" arial=""
black??=""> <br>
</span></font>lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a
symbol of<font face="Arial Black"><span style="" arial="" black??=""> <br>
</span></font>oppression . And the anthem itself conveys a war-like
message. You know, the<font face="Arial Black"><span style="" arial=""
black??=""> <br>
</span></font>bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for
something less<font face="Arial Black"><span style="" arial=""
black??=""> <br>
</span></font>parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like
To Teach the World<font face="Arial Black"><span style="" arial=""
black??=""> <br>
</span></font>To Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might salute
it. 'We should<font face="Arial Black"><span style="" arial=""
black??=""> <br>
</span></font>consider to reinvent our National Anthem as well as to
redesign our Flag to<font face="Arial Black"><span style="" arial=""
black??=""> <br>
</span></font>better offer our enemies hope and love. My wife
disrespects the Flag for<font face="Arial Black"><span style="" arial=""
black??=""> <br>
</span></font>many personal reasons. Together she and I have attended
several flag burning<font face="Arial Black"><span style="" arial=""
black??=""> <br>
</span></font>ceremonies in the past, many years ago. She has her views
and I have mine'.<font face="Arial Black"><span style="" arial=""
black??=""> <br>
</span></font>WHAAAAAAAT !!! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you heard it
right. This could<font face="Arial Black"><span style="" arial=""
black??=""> <br>
</span></font>possibly be our next President. I, for one, am
speechless. Dale Lindsborg,<font face="Arial Black"><span style=""
