Owning a flag, wearing a flag, waving a flag, standing in front of a flag (or 100 flags) is not an indication of your love for your country. It's like wearing a pretty star of David necklace and saying that since you go to temple every Friday night and Saturday morning that you are a great Jew. Just because the optics of it may make it seem true on the surface to people around you, the real truth about you is what you are doing when not at temple. Wrapping yourself in the flag for the cameras is not the same as living in a way and doing things that helps your country and its citizens. In fact I would argue that having an abundance of flags specifically for the camera to pick up is an example of compensating for something...perhaps your phony patriotism?

Don't be obtuse. Regardless the heavy-handed nature of the OP, he has a really good point. The DNC isn't exactly making a point of displaying the American Flag. They don't seem to mind floating closed fist flags; hammer and sickle flags, and rainbow flags.

It's about priorities.

And it's noteworthy to mention it, as the OP has. This election - as Peter has repeatedly mentioned - is about Nationalism vs. Globalism. That's important to understand, as it is not only true, it is illustrative to recognize the symbolism - or lack - at the DNC.

If they are aware of that line of demarcation between GOP voters and DNC voters, they certainly don't seem concerned to offer some conciliatory (hollow) gesture indicating that they in any way care about US Patriotism/Nationalism.

Here's the unabridged truth. If you cannot bring yourself to fly the US flag, you are not a Patriot.

I actually agree with you that it's about nationalism v. globalism, and the imagery of both the DNC and RNC conventions perfectly illustrates it and makes it clear who is on which side of the divide. Believe it or not, this is probably the first time in a long time that there has been at least one clear contrast between D and R, even if it is superficial.

Thanks for the good word; you know I think the same of you, regardless of disagreement.

That said, here's the point: it is un-constructive at best and dangerous at worst to suddenly declare a poster without redemption, and then take topics that said poster offers and summarily dismiss them merely because of their past perceived track records.

We have the same enemies. They have gotten far more clever, having realized many decades ago that open disdain for America was ineffective, as was open warfare. Infiltration has succeeded where past efforts have failed.

They are in process - right now - of a gradual unmasking. These are the same ideologies which drove Communism. There is no difference.

You'd think, if you were patriotic, that the National Convention - televised for the entire world to see - would be such a place.

The contrast is worth discussing, and the reasons behind it are likewise worth discussing. While many of you possibly don't even own a flag, or ever personally display one, this isn't about you.

It's about the conscious choices made by DNC leadership, as Green Arrow has graciously and honestly ceded.

And the topic was beautifully enhanced by having a lefty who I do not respect absolutely sticking his foot up his ass in this very thread: an action which in its haste revealed much about his character and intellect, and greatly - for me anyway - reinforced the topic.

I guess for me I just don't think it's necessary. They could hold their convention in a high school gym with just a metal podium and all that really matters is the platform.

Your dishonesty, Bo, is laid bare.

For those only casually perusing the thread. Bo-4 attempted to refute Oboe's statement of a lack of flags at the DNC using snopes.

Now, plenty of people know that snopes has bias. They're leftists. They did as well as they could to counter the claims of many that the variance in displays of the US flag at the DNC vs the RNC - both by the Convention itself and - primarily for me, anyway, the people attending - is striking.

There is no question at all that the amount of Red, White and Blue/Stars and Bars on display in the crowd is STARKLY different - but it is also different at the organizational level.

Having seen both now, it's obvious where more US Patriotism is evident.

But that isn't the point regarding Bo. The point regarding Bo was that he thought he discovered the perfect picture to refute @Oboe (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=1977). He posted it. It was this pic:

15358

This is where it gets delicious, and lends wonderful insight into Bo, the barely marginally intelligent lefty:

1. Bo didn't realize that the pic was a split view: left side RNC; right side DNC. He thought it was a pic of the DNC Convention, replete with an ample US Flag display. If one isn't the very bright, and anxious to prove a point without thoroughly investigating the evidence, one is prone to screw up. And screw up here did.

2. Bo didn't realize that the speaker at the podium was Donald Trump.

3. BoBo is a DoDo.

4. Bo - in realizing his mistake after posting the pic, quickly pulls the pic, hoping no one would notice.

5. I'm far too quick for you, Bo.

6. Bo doubles down on this stupidity, and offers flaccid excuse for the action; refusing to admit the personal mistake. Thus, he admits that the RNC display was - indeed - an ample demonstration of the American Flag, and - conversely - cements the point for @Oboe (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=1977).

And thus, I demonstrate - while laughing pretty hard, and with much glee - that Bo-4 is a partisan hack who knee jerks before he thinks.

:biglaugh:

Ok Bo: people make mistakes. I hereby give you an opportunity to admit that what I wrote here is true: you actually thought you were posting refutational evidence - from snopes - that the DNC displays a ton of flags, and you didn't realize that the example you offered was actually from the RNC.

Go ahead. The truth shall set you free, Bo.

How many things are necessary, really? This isn't about "necessary". It's about ideology, and defense of the notion of US Autonomy.

There isn't a stronger symbol of such than the US Flag. Not if you're an American.


They could hold there convention in a high school gym with just a metal podium and all that really matters is the platform.

The platform matters more than the symbolism, to be sure. The question is this: does the platform contradict, or compliment, the symbolism?

It is my opinion that the DNC downplays display of the flag because their own beliefs contradict such demonstrations of patriotism (they're Globalists), but they are playing to many Democrats who are either unaware of such an agenda, or would not react well to such a naked demonstration of such an agenda.

Their votes, either way, are equally valuable.

Owning a flag, wearing a flag, waving a flag, standing in front of a flag (or 100 flags) is not an indication of your love for your country. It's like wearing a pretty star of David necklace and saying that since you go to temple every Friday night and Saturday morning that you are a great Jew. Just because the optics of it may make it seem true on the surface to people around you, the real truth about you is what you are doing when not at temple. Wrapping yourself in the flag for the cameras is not the same as living in a way and doing things that helps your country and its citizens. In fact I would argue that having an abundance of flags specifically for the camera to pick up is an example of compensating for something...perhaps your phony patriotism?

They didn't die for the flag, they died to protect the country and national philosophy it represents.

I know why you stated that in the way that you did, but does it really matter? It's obvious. The flag is fabric, in exactly the same way one's heart is flesh. It's not what it's made of which matters; it's what it represents, and what purpose it has.
