American Flag with Obama's Image - A Despicable Disgrace!

Obama's Face On The American Flag - A Despicable Disgrace!

An American flag with President Obama's image in place of the stars flew over a Florida county's Democrat headquarters long enough to enrage local veterans who called the altered banner "a disgrace."

Lake County Democratic Party officials took down the flag, which flew just below a standard Old Glory on the flagpole outside headquarters in Tavares following complaints by local veterans. But merely taking it down wasn't enough for several local veterans, who said they fought for the flag Betsy Ross made famous, not one with a politician on it.
 
"It's absolutely disrespectful," Jim Bradford, a 71-year-old veteran who participated in the Bay of Pigs Invasion told FoxNews.com. "It's totally ridiculous. To put somebody's picture there, to me, it's a disgrace to do that."

"It's absolutely disrespectful," Jim Bradford, a 71-year-old veteran who participated in the Bay of Pigs Invasion told FoxNews.com. "It's totally ridiculous. To put somebody's picture there, to me, it's a disgrace to do that."

Bradford, an organizer with the Veterans Memorial at Fountain Park in Leesburg, Fla., snapped photos of the flag and distributed them to fellow veterans and friends. By late afternoon, he and several other veterans delivered a copy of the federal flag code to Nancy Hurlbert, chairwoman of the Lake County Democratic Party.

"We read that to her, but she would not accept that," Bradford said. "The discussion finally got a little bit heated."

The flag, which had been flying for several months without complaint and is available online for $12.95, was later removed by Hurlbert.

Bradford said Hurlbert apologized for the incident, but did not offer any promises that it wouldn't fly again.

"What really upsets me is that the flag had apparently been flying for months and no one had done anything about it," Bradford said. "I've got no hard feelings toward [Hurlbert], but people will be driving by there to make sure it doesn't go up again."

Hurlbert said Tuesday's incident was the first time anyone had complained about the flag, which she received as a gift two months ago.

"It leads me to believe that it's not about the flag," she told FoxNews.com. "Certain elements cannot accept Barack Obama as president."

Hurlbert said she intends to contact an attorney regarding the matter and remained non-committal as to whether she'll fly the flag again.

"I won't say no and I won't say yes," she said. "We want to find out what our legal rights are."

Jenn Meale, communications director for Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, referred FoxNews.com to state laws that pertain to the use of flags on public lands and property when asked for clarification as to whether Hurlbert could face any penalties.

Statute 256.05, which covers improper use of state or United States flag, or other symbol of authority, reads: "No person shall, in any manner, for exhibition or display:

"(1) Place or cause to be placed any word, figure, mark, picture, design, drawing or advertisement of any nature upon any flag, standard, color, ensign or shield of the United States or of this state, or authorized by any law of the United States or this state; or

"(2) Expose to public view any such flag, standard, color, ensign or shield upon which shall have been printed, painted or otherwise produced, or to which shall have been attached, appended, affixed or annexed any such word, figure, mark, picture, design, drawing or advertisement."

Meanwhile, Jay Agg, communications director for AMVETS, told FoxNews.com that the American flag should never be altered.

"While we are pleased the flag in question has since been removed from public display, the reported fact that it had flown for months without protest is a clear indication that we have much work to do in educating the public of the importance of protecting our flag," Agg wrote in an email. "This issue is especially important to AMVETS' members, the men and women who have proudly worn our nation's uniform and served under her flag."

The final insult to veterans? The flag is made in China.

Are You Ready For Phase II of the Billary Dynasty?

Bill Clinton is once again showing the first signs of his true self. Mr. Magnanimous World Humanitarian is basically just a liar when you peel back all his slippery layers. Granted, he is probably the world’s most astute politician, and if that is what you want for your country’s leader er…I mean First Man, by all means. And Hillary is doing a fine job of showing us she is cut from the same cloth. Together, they are bringing the Presidential election campaign process to new lows of gamesmanship, not to mention integrity.

Bill is proving himself as one of the most effective hatchet men in national election history. As I sit back and watch the workings of the Clinton machine in action, I’m in awe…and a bit embarrassed. Embarrassed that a former President has no low that is too low in order to get his ethical twin elected; embarrassed that a former American President, who should be demonstrating the prestige of his former office, knows no shame. Even Bush Sr. did not have the temerity to belittle his nincompoop son’s opponents during Jr.’s two campaigns.

Hill too is proving uncannily astute at deflecting criticism and blame, just as Slick Willy did in his heyday, “I did not have sex with that woman...” Hillary’s current mantra, “..it is me who is running for office, not my husband..”, however it is the latter who has been left behind in South Carolina to plant the seeds of divisiveness and race, not to mention taking the political heat, while the Mrs. is off in search of bigger game.

With the looming possibility of Hill and Bill – Billary – in the White House again, we must face the fact that the only “change” we are going to get in government is which sex wears the pants in the family.

Wake up America; if you elect Hill for office, you are also electing Bill. Is that what you really want?
