Clueless Democrats in Florida:
Vets angry over American flag featuring Obama
quote:
LAKE COUNTY, Fla. — Tempers are flaring over a version of the American flag flying in Lake County. A veterans group says the flag is an outrage.
The flag, which features a picture of President Obama, was taken down Tuesday afternoon.
Korean war veteran Don Van Beck said his blood was boiling.
"I can't describe how upset was because you just don't do that to the American flag," Van Beck said.
Van Beck found it flying outside Lake County Democratic headquarters under the stars and stripes. Marine Corps vet John Masterjohn was seeing red.
"Joseph Stalin, pictures of Mao, pictures of Adolph Hitler. The pomp, the ceremony -- the flags like that," Masterjohn said.
Nearly a dozen veterans went to the door and aimed to take it down.
"No. This is private property. This is private property. You're not allowed to touch anything. I'll call the police," Democratic Party chairwoman Nancy Hulbert said...
..."If you've been a veteran and fought -- and some died for this flag -- you don't want to see it desecrated. That's how simple it is," Van Beck said.
Here is something for the desecrated flag flyer to read:
Flag Protection Act - (a)(1) Whoever knowingly mutilates, defaces, physically defiles, burns, maintains on the floor or ground, or tramples upon any flag of the United States shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than one year, or both. (2) This subsection does not prohibit any conduct consisting of the disposal of a flag when it has become worn or soiled.
Gun Shy is very familiar with Lake County Florida, and let me assure the readers that there are many here, who are not as enamored with Mr Obama as the lady who flew the desecrated flag with his picture on it.
Check out my earlier commentary which discussed the multitude of Obama joker posters that were plastered all over Clermont Florida, which is a short drive from where the desecrated flag was flown.
It Appears That Obama Joker Posters are Coast to Coast Now
