Veterans have complained about an American flag flying over the Lake County Democratic Party headquarters in Florida with President Barak Obama's picture in place of the stars, according to Fox News (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/03/14/us-flag-depicting-president-obama-removed-from-floridas-lake-county-democratic/). Nancy Hurlbert, chairwoman of the Lake County Democratic Party, took down the flag, but she has not committed to keeping it down. Even though I am not a veteran, I am offended by the Obama flag as well.
By making the complaints about the Obama flag simply about President Obama, Hurlbert discredits the patriotism of anyone who would be upset by the alteration of an American symbol. People have died for our right to fly the flag and making a complaint about it not being flown correctly is an action of a patriot. While Hurlbert's ignorance might not need to be a focus of disciplinary action, her trivializing the patriotism of the veterans who questioned her should lead to admonishment.
It does not matter whose picture is placed on the flag as it is still disrespectful. If President Obama wants to add some credibility in the eyes of veterans and people who have undying respect for the flag, he should ban them from party offices.....snip~

:angry: ..... Flags Flown Should not have pics on them. None should have ANY President on them let alone Obama. Both political parties should know better. More slaps in the face of the American People. It is bad enough to watch other Foreign Countries desecrate our Country's Flag. But it is far worse to have such done by the American People themselves. :rant:
This Flag was Proof that we were still there:flag: in the Dawn of Morning's Early Light! :usa2:
