Article: "Obama has new flag frenzy."

"The White House has rediscovered - or possibly reinvented - the patriotic cachet of Old Glory as a perfect frame for the new president.

"That's the same president [Obama] who once would not wear an American flag pin. Things have changed."

No, things really haven't changed. He's a Theftocrat, and one thing they're really good at is getting the American People to swallow their shallow symbolism. That's all those flags are ... a symbol.

" "I caution people to be careful about their own perceptions and judging these situations," Mr. Glaser said.

" "This does not have the same connotation as the shallow patriotism one might adopt during a political campaign." "

He's right. Now it's all about style over substance. The Theftocrats want to make the American People forget that they're into Socialism and the best way to do that is put Old Glory everywhere ... including the Usurper's lapel.

They seem to be saying "False Patriotism for me, but not for thee." In other words, if we don't pay our taxes to fund the Generational Theft Act of 2009, we're "unpatriotic." But using Old Glory as a stageprop and making sure it's there during a photo-op ... well, that's perfectly OK.
