Unpatriotic? Democrats? Where'd you get that idea?

From Thomas Lifson of The American Thinker:

Actions do speak louder than words. Democrats tossed 12,000 American flags in the garbage following their convention. This sort of thing takes the breath away. How much do you have to hate America to do such a thing? Have they never heard of the fine people of the VFW and American Legion who proudly help dispose of worn and otherwise useless flags with dignity?

David Harsanyi of the Denver Post caught wind of the story:

This morning, Republicans tell me that a worker at Invesco Field in Denver saved thousands of unused flags from the Democratic National Convention that were headed for the garbage. Guerrilla campaigning. They will use these flags at their own event today in Colorado Springs with John McCain and Sarah Palin.

Are we wrong to "[judge] an entire political party by the actions of a few" when the political party itself approves and condones of this behavior? You miserable Dem assholes are beneath contempt.

I read about this on FOX News. Unexcusable! I lean more towards Democrat beliefs (yeah yeah yeah!!), but I'm patriotic! Here's the article...

BTW, why no coverage of the historic soccer match??

George, the Girl Scouts also have a very moving ceremony to retire American Flags. I have participated in several of them, both as a Girl Scout and when I was a Troop Leader and have never been able to keep a dry eye because of the words spoken during the ceremony. I don't care what their affiliation is, this is a despicable act.

They were just props, after all.

I forward this to one of my Leftists co-workers and he wondered why I wasn't happy... these people are just stupid. This guy in particular could care less about the U.S. Constitution and the flag. And to think his vote carries the same weight as mine...
