The Flag of the Obama Nation, Now With Pledge

Last October, in the The Flag of the Obama Nation Redux, we took a look at what one Obamanite was flying over his house:




I was thinking of this in regards to the small furor of some boys being sent home from high school for having the audacity to wear t-shirts with American flags on them to school. Did I mention that they did so on that most sacred of American holidays: Cinco de Mayo?

Now aside from the fact that CdM is a bigger holiday north of the border than south (CdM is to Corona and Dos Equis what Mother's Day is to Hallmark!), shouldn't Americans have the right to express their patriotism 356 days a year? (366 on leap years?)

Cinco de Mayo is not an official holiday, nor is it an American holiday. It's a little like St. Patrick's Day, you celebrate it if you feel like it. Even Columbus day is a recognized American holiday, though it is fast falling out of favor because of "political correctness". All three have an ethnic and cultural aspect to them. I would be equally offended if someone asked me not to wear a representation of the American flag on any of those occasions.

I guess to many liberals, patriotism is to be celebrated once a year, on the Fourth of July, and then, only grudgingly. They quote from the Flag Code copiously when it comes to boys in patriotic t-shirts, but can't find it in themselves to criticize Obama's picture on the flag.

Since some of his followers have replaced the fifty stars representing our fifty (not fifty seven) states with the One True Star, Obama, I have rewritten the Pledge just for them:

I pledge allegiance to the flag
of the United State of Obama
and to the republic, which no longer stands.
One nation, over taxed, divided among racial, ethnic and economic quotas
With health care and government cheese for all.

(The proper way to give the new Pledge, incidentally, is with one's hand over one's crotch.)
