No American Flags Present At The Democrat Convention

189

I, for one, am thoroughly enjoying the imploding Democrat convention. The Clintons have been screwing the American people for so long, it is delicious to watch them do it to their own party. Gorgeous, really. Bernie the marxist may be trying to call off the dogs, but it is out of his control now.

Trump is leading.

There is real hope.

The party of hate and treason is getting a taste of its own medicine. They hate America. America hates them right back. They stand for everything we oppose as a freedom-loving nation — statism, racism, collectivism, jihad, sharia, taxation without representation, gun control, censorship, socialism, communism.

They hate the flag, the symbol of freedom and individual rights.

They raise the Nazi flag instead.

“No Visible American Flags Present At The Democrat Convention,” Daily Caller, July 26, 2016:

PHILADELPHIA — The Daily Caller is at the Democratic National Convention and it doesn’t look like there are any American flags.

The stage is bland and grey, with no red, white or blue present. A thorough look at the crowd present also turns up no American flags.

Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) delivers remarks on the first day of the Democratic National Convention at the Wells Fargo Center, July 25, 2016 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. An estimated 50,000 people are expected in Philadelphia, including hundreds of protesters and members of the media. The four-day Democratic National Convention kicked off July 25.

Amazing that it never occurred to the DNC that American flags and symbols might be appropriate for someone running for the President of the USA. Maybe it is what they call a Freudian slip, meaning that with their open borders, globalist beliefs, the idea of an American flag is just too nationalist to occur to them. It also shows the truth that Hillary isn’t running to be president of the people but to govern on behalf of a neocon and neo liberal elite

Good detective work. I notice that the flags are positioned in such a way that not even the colors are visible at a distance. They blend into the background like parking meters on a crowded city street. I assume they’re all American flags, but the insinuation is that flags are generic and not worthy of notice.

There was no huge flag on the ceiling at the DNC, that was only at the GOP convention. I think you may have got those pics mixed up or confused. Here’s a couple of side shots from the stands at the DNC, you can see all the way up to the lighting frames. No flag is hanging from anywhere up there.
Aside from that the whole debate is stupid. There was a row of flags to the right of the stage clearly visible in the picture from the article claiming that their aren’t any. The DNC background also displayed flags digitally just like the background at the GOP convention. It was displayed & shown the same way at both conventions. The whole debate is a non-issue created by idiots that know how to crop a pic & used that to make a false point to stir up more strife.

Sorry, Pamela…in your first image of the stage there ARE American flags on the right-hand side. I am certainly not going to defend Hillary Clinton and the Democrats, but to portray Donald Trump as the savior of America is revolting. Here are 10 reasons, off the top of my head, that he would be bad for America: 1) He inspires rabid Jew-haters to climb out of their sewers in the wake of his spew. Not just pro-Palestinian, intellectually dishonest anti-Semites. Vicious, dangerous Jew-haters who want us all in Auschwitz. And Trump does NOTHING to discourage them. 2) Trump admires Vladimir Putin and Putin apparently loves him back. 3) Trump deliberately incites controversy wherever he goes, straying off-message continually to deliver broadsides against people who don’t matter anymore, like Ted Cruz and Elizabeth Warren. His argument is often that of a toddler: “He started it!” 4) Trump is woefully ignorant of how the government functions. 5) Economists of all stripes, including conservative Ben Stein, have derided Trump’s plan for the economy as “horrendous.” 6) Trump’s rhetoric is incendiary and uninspiring, except when he talks about taking care of veterans. That’s not good enough. 7) He has an unsettling past of discriminating against black people. 8) He continually changes his positions, or his advisers and surrogates contradict what he says he plans to do. Too many Republicans admit they don’t know what he would actually do as president. 9) He doesn’t seem to surround himself with both knowledgeable and reasonable people who would know how to govern on his behalf or guide him to do the right thing. 10) He sees everything through the prism of negotiating deals, thinks he alone can fix America’s problems and is certain he knows more than “the generals.” And another for good measure: 11) His ghost writer on “The Art of the Deal” says he is a sociopath.

Please, please tell me you’re joking. JFC, don’t drink the Kool-Aid — the entire Islamic faith is not the enemy. That’s like judging all Christians because Hitler professed to be one. The people who are twisting and warping the faith to suit their own ends, yes, they’re the enemy, and likely no more devout than Hitler himself. People have always done that, with many different faiths; it’s why I have practically no use for actual, organized religion. Somebody’s always using it to their own ends. You can’t use the actions of a few to tar the entire group with the same brush — that goes for any group of people, be it of a religion or a race.

Trump has no plan for stopping terrorism. He has no actual, viable plan for anything. Hell, he’s contradicted himself so many times that I’m not sure even he knows what he originally meant to say.

I’m not joking. The violent acts we are now experiencing around the world can be justified by Islamic texts and teachings. You do the research. It is a lot harder to justify acts of violence from other faiths. Islam is anti human rights and anti democratic. That is a fact. You want to know what Islam looks like. Go to Saudi Arabia. That’s what Islam looks like. There is no religious freedom, only Sharia. The population is for all intents and purposes 100 percent Muslim.

You’ve drunk the Kool-Aid. Saudi Arabia is a country that uses its own interpretation of Islam to keep a hold on its people. It actually directly violates some of the rules of the religion to do so. European countries used Christianity for the same thing for centuries. I’ve actually done a fair bit of research on Islam, and the faith itself, the pure faith, is not anti-human rights, and no more anti-democracy than any other religion. Like many things, when put in the wrong hands, it’s twisted and used for selfish ends.

The problem isn’t Islam, it’s organized religion, and what has been done with it. That video is disingenuous at best; that’s not how Sharia law actually works, it’s how it’s been used by people who want to scare and control others. Like Christianity and Judaism, one of Islam’s core tenets is ‘thou shalt not kill’. That some people ignore that tenet isn’t the fault of the religion, any more than it’s the fault of Christianity or Judaism if members of those religions kill someone. The worst parts of human nature know no religious bounds.

All this anti-Islam, anti-Muslim talk is disturbingly reminiscent of how the Third Reich handled Judaism and the Jewish people, and look how *that* ended. History seems teetering ominously closely to repeating itself. Personally, I wish the idea of faith had never evolved into the idea of religion, because the bad that’s come from it far outweighs the good. Religion in the hand of a selfish, evil person is every bit as dangerous as a gun, but the fact that the person would use it for evil doesn’t make it evil in and of itself.

I used to live in an area with a number of Muslims. They were ordinary people, some of whom just happened to wear something on their heads. Like Christians or Jews, some of them went to religious services, and others didn’t. Some wore more traditional clothes and covered their hair, others didn’t. Go out and talk to a few with an open mind. You’d be surprised how normal you’d find them.

It’s great that you are not getting ’emotional’ and ‘abusive’. I appreciate that. I have to disagree with you however.

How for example would you deal with the following Islamic scriptures?:

Surah 9:29: “Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture – [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.”

World Domination by force:
Surah 8:39: “And fight them until there is no fitnah and [until] the religion, all of it, is for Allah . And if they cease – then indeed, Allah is Seeing of what they do.”

Surah 2:193 “And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion be only for Allah. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrong-doers.”

Surah 5:33 “The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter.”

Surah 8:12 “Remember] when your Lord inspired to the angels, “I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip.”

Bukhari 2:24: “Allah’s Apostle said: “I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshiped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah’s Apostle,”

etc etc etc

Fact: The penalty for leaving Islam is Death; The penalty for criticizing Islam is Death.

How do you get around that one? No other religion carries these penalties, plans for worldwide domination and harsh open ended scriptures.

That’s something I so very rarely find in a comments section (and by that I mean you’re the first person I’ve found that’s actually done it. The last guy I was talking to kept spelling it ‘muslum’, randomly accused me of being one, and couldn’t string together a coherent sentence. While I may not agree with you, you are a breath of fresh air.)

Christianity doesn’t carry any penalty for leaving the faith, but it does advocate stoning people to death for myriad reasons, and condemns the killing of people who aren’t Christian (though that, admittedly has been twisted as hell by numerous people over the centuries). Hell, Christians spent centuries killing one another over variations in interpreting the same book (as have Muslims, but not nearly to such an extent until recently).

The Bible really isn’t any better than the Quran, given that it condones slavery (including how long you need to wait before raping your female slave after kidnapping her). I have a lot of issues with organized religion of all sorts. But condemning everyone based on the nasty elements of their holy book is just wrong — I don’t assume all Christians are terrible people, despite the fact that Christianity has been weaponized in terrible ways, and that I’ve met some truly awful Christians. Most Christians I’ve met are nice, ordinary people, as are the Muslims I’ve known. My inner optimist would like to think that the bulk of people are in general, though my inner cynic tells me I’m probably wrong.

But the thing with Trump is that he incites this hatred. He’s based his entire campaign on hate and fear, on negativity — he ignores the good in favor of stirring up anger. There’s a reason so many white supremacists love him. He’s saying everything they want to hear — to them, he’s validating their bigotry. Nowhere has he come up with any plans that haven’t been debunked as non-viable, including by other Republicans. He has no idea what he’s doing, and he doesn’t seem to care. And quite honestly, that terrifies me. This man is wholly unqualified to serve in political office in general, let alone as President of the United States.

Then again, given how red his face so often is, if he did get elected, I’m guessing he’d die of a coronary. His is not the complexion of a healthy individual; there were a few times during the RNC I was genuinely afraid he was going to keel over on stage. He gets worked up to an extent that’s downright alarming, and certainly isn’t dignified. While I have next to no use for Hillary, at least she doesn’t come across like a used car salesman. Trump’s an effective showman, but he’s empty words. (Granted, all politicians are empty words, but he’s a pretty extreme example, and the words he does say are not ones I want to hear.) They both lie like rugs, but he’s so terribly narcissistic it sometimes make me sick to watch him. That is not a man I want anywhere near the helm of this country, and if we have to eat four years of a Hillary presidency…it’s better than the alternative.

I’m neither Muslim nor Arab, but I’m racially ambiguous enough that I get mistaken for Arab quite a bit, and the amount of verbal abuse I’ve taken from random strangers has skyrocketed since his campaign got going. No, I do not want this man as my President. Not when this is what I get from his followers.

Hey Stevie, I like your attitude. I’ll try and answer your ideas.
The stoning to death issue: Jesus did say to a stoning crowd ‘he who is without sin cast the first stone’. Because of this he effectively stopped the necessity of stoning as a means of capital punishment for ‘sin’ and focused on mercy.
God told Old Israel they could take conquered enemy nation women to be wives and they had to be treated as such. Old Israel does not exist today so that harsh practice is no longer applied anywhere.
Under Islam it seems any captive woman (any ‘infidel’) can be impregnated with no strings attached. This applies to today and is not bound by historical context.

Trump may appeal to White supremacists but he is not a racist. There a plenty of ‘blacks’ who support him. He want’s to keep out illegals and those who believe in Islamic rule. I think this is fair enough. The most important issue today is that of Islamic Supremacism. A bigot by definition is one who unfairly dislikes an ideology or religion. It is not unfair to dislike the ideology of Islam.

I try. I might not always *succeed*, but I try. That’s the problem with the New Testament vs. how it’s interpreted today — no, stoning doesn’t happen, but there’s not much loving of thy neighbor, and a lot of judging (ignoring the fact that the person will be judged). It’s all a tool, and a weapon in the wrong hands. It’s been used in America to excuse all sorts of bigotry even in this century

Some Trump quotes (I don’t have the time to source-hunt them all, but I’ve seen and/or them already over the year): http://www.marieclaire.co.uk/blogs/550112/donald-trump-quotes.html, and http://www.telegraph.co.uk/women/politics/donald-trump-sexism-tracker-every-offensive-comment-in-one-place/ (I picked British sources because they’re less contaminated than our own media, but it hardly matters, since Trump doesn’t seem to care who knows what he’s said.) He might claim he’s not a racist, but he sure sounds like one. These are things he has said. He has fully admitted to saying them, and does not at all seem to regret saying them. Even his own party keeps censuring him, for all the good it does.

Actual Trump tweets: http://www.mediaite.com/online/the-top-10-most-presidential-donald-trump-tweets/

He does nothing whatsoever to calm the anger of his followers, either. His speeches are downright incendiary. Bernie’s were, too, but Bernie at least tried to institute damage control among his angriest supporters. Trump seems to revel in the chaos he causes — I’m not even sure he realizes it’s chaos, come to that.

And Trump has so many followers like “IzlamIsTyranny” — he’s the specimen I mentioned, who keeps writing nonsense comments, randomly accusing me of being “muslum”, and throwing racist remarks at me. He’s no different than dozens of others I have personally dealt with in real life over the last year. I haven’t taken this much verbal abuse from total strangers since the year after 9/11, and it’s not because of Bernie. It’s not even because of Hillary. Trump is the one who, even if he didn’t create the racist hornet’s nest, sure as hell kicked it, and doesn’t seem to care about the result.

I’ve been told to go back to Baghdad. I’ve been asked where my headscarf is, and who I think I’m fooling by not wearing it. I’ve been called “Muslim [choose your own expletive]”. With followers like that, why on *Earth* would I want Trump as President? I’m not willing to live through four years of that crap. Not in America. I’m being reviled by an element of people that he has stirred up, who are so stupid they can’t even actually identify the targets of their bigotry, because apparently all vaguely brown people are interchangeable. The fact that I don’t look like Suzie White-bread has made even going to the grocery store something of an ordeal.

No, I would never vote for Trump. As terrible as Hillary is (and trust me, if her competition was anyone else, I’d be voting for them), she’s not the reason people yell “raghead” at me in parking lots. (How I’m supposedly a “raghead” when I don’t actually wear anything at all on my head, I don’t know, but that’s racist idiocy for you.) I’d have a modicum of respect for Trump if he actually tried to rein in the scary element of his supporters, but he hasn’t even made a token effort. He wants people as angry as he can get them.

I’ve written an entire essay here, I guess. tl;dr Trump has deliberately brought out the ugly side of far too many people, and I’m actually suffering for it. I don’t want him anywhere near the White House. I don’t pay my taxes to put up with that garbage — I’d rather eat four years of a Hillary presidency than endure four years of basically sanctioned abuse based on nothing but my appearance. The actions of these people are a result of his actions, and words, and general attitude, and I don’t want him anywhere near an office where he could legitimize them by law.

If Christians don’t love their neighbor (or obey their teachings) then it’s their fault, not their religions. In Islam you are commanded to hate your neighbour (“Muhammad is the messenger of Allah. And those with him are hard against the disbelievers and merciful among themselves”. – Surah 48:29). I have a saying: Bad Muslims are good and good Muslims are bad – Because good Muslims follow the Quran.

I do feel for your predicament however. Scared people over react to any ‘evidence’. Islam is a terrible threat in my opinion. Their texts ultimately demand our death or enslavement. Because of this I understand why people are so reactive. Here we have Hillary and Obama who won’t identify the threat and say Islam has nothing to do with terror. That is just plain false. Obama supports terror groups like the Muslim brotherhood. (he gave billions to them http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2012/03/21/obama-bypasses-congress-gives-1-5-billion-to-muslim-brotherhood/). The facts are despite his smooth talking and wonderful speech abilities he is anti-American and pro Islam like Hillary. He has six Muslim brotherhood operatives in the white house working for him. The Muslim brotherhoods stated goal is nothing short of the destruction of America and implementation of Sharia. That is a FACT. That’s why people want to throw Obama in jail for treason. He is working for them.

Trump has said some nasty things about people. He does seem a bit arrogant and rude at times. However I believe he loves America and understands what’s going on far more than Hillary. Look what Hillary did at Bengazi. Trump would never do that. Hillary will allow immigration from Jihad nations and will not stop terror.

Dear dumb muslimah ape:
Adolph Hitler: “One is either a Christian or a German,” he said. “You can’t be both.”

‘It’s been our misfortune to have the wrong religion,” Hitler complained to his pet architect Albert Speer. “Why did it have to be Christianity, with its meekness and flabbiness?” Islam was a Männerreligion—a
“religion of men”—and hygienic too. The “soldiers of Islam” received a
warrior’s heaven, “a real earthly paradise” with “houris” and “wine
flowing.” This, Hitler argued, was much more suited to the “Germanic
temperament” than the “Jewish filth and priestly twaddle” of
Christianity.

I was going to ignore you, because it’s impossible to have meaningful discourse with a mouth-breather.

“My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter.” (Speech in Munich, April 12 1922)

“In the Bible we find the text, ‘That which is neither hot nor cold will I spew out of my mouth.’ This utterance of the great Nazarene has kept its profound validity until the present day.” (Speech in Munich, 10 April 1923)

“We tolerate no one in our ranks who attacks the ideas
of Christianity… in fact our movement is Christian.” (Speech in Passau, 27 October 1928)

“It matters not whether these weapons of ours are humane: if they gain us our freedom, they are justified before our conscience and before our God.” (Speech in Munich, 01 Aug. 1923)

His public persona was decidedly Christian, though he had no faith himself. Shall I keep going? I don’t think I’ll bother, since you’re thicker than a yard of lard. I’d tell you to go away before you embarrass yourself any further with your tedious repetition, your bizarre, nonsensical insults, and general lack of contribution to anything intelligent, but I doubt you’re bright enough to get the hint.

It takes talent to miss the point as staggeringly completely as you have. I said that Hitler *professed* to be a Christian. Or do you not know what “profess” means? Obviously not.

You still, after all this spewing, have yet to tell me why you assume I’m Muslim. Or are you just pulling random words out of a hat (or your ass)? That wouldn’t surprise me, either. Get an education. Or, failing that, something resembling coherence. I’m starting to suspect you’re Muslim, and trying feebly to stir up conflict. Kid, you’re pathetic.

Careful, Ben Hur, he might call you a “muslum”, for…whatever reason. I still haven’t figured that one out, and he doesn’t seem keen to explain.

I really am curious, but so far, you’re the only one I’ve talked to who hasn’t personally attacked me. I posted a link to Snopes and IzlamIsTyrrany jumped on me, and immediately started throwing “muslum” and various insults at me, for no reason I can discern. I have to admit, all my other interactions with Trump supporters left me outright shocked at how reasonable you are. Part of the reason I bought into the stereotype is because, well, until I found you, it’s always been borne out. IzlamIsTyranny is pretty typical of my experiences with Trump supporters. You’re the only one who I’ve managed to have a reasonable debate with — everyone else has jumped down my throat. Politics is a very hot-button issue, and it’s extremely easy to get worked up (don’t I know it; I can be quite guilty of it myself), but this person has followed me around this comments section, calling me “muslum dog” (and many other pseudo-Islam-related insults), and telling me to go drink camel urine. I’m not sure he could be more off-putting if he tried.

I certainly hope so.

The problem I’ve been having is that Trump is the reason I got harassed at the grocery store AGAIN — though this
time I got told to go back to Mexico, because these troglodytes really do find all of us brown people indistinguishable. (And I know he’s why, because the
guy in the store me told me so. Apparently, the first thing Trump will do is kick “my kind” out.) These people have always been around, but Trump’s campaign has brought them to the surface like pond scum — they feel legitimized by him, and until he’s out of the running, I’m not going to be able to buy a gallon of milk without being harassed by some mouth-breather with more teeth than brain cells. This is my country, too. I want to be able to walk down the street without feeling unsafe. I want to go grocery shopping and be left alone. One of these days I’m going to get in a fight, because I always tell these people exactly what they can do with themselves in my nice, heavy American accent, but honestly, at this point, I don’t care. I’m tired of it. I’m an American, too, but these people seem determined to tell me I’m not, because my skin is darker than theirs.

Trump’s never condoned this behavior, but he’s also never condemned it, and if he doesn’t do it soon, it won’t matter when he does try — once that mindset gets entrenched, there’s no getting rid of it. His followers listen to him: if he told them to knock it off, they would, but he hasn’t. He has to be aware of the problem, it’s so widespread, and what I fear is what it will grow into if he’s elected. There are real people like IzlamIsTyranny (just not so cliche) out there, and I don’t want to spend the next four years of my life dealing with them. That Trump’s ignored the problem thus far certainly gives me the impression it’s not *my* vote he wants. America’s never going to be great for me, or anyone who isn’t white, unless he puts a stop to this garbage. And he’d need to do it soon, or he won’t be able to.

Trump will not kick out American citizens or legitimate residents. He would never get it through congress and it’s not who he is. Imagine America having its own refugees made up of ‘non-whites’. It’s ridiculous and would never happen. He is anti jihad and anti illegals only which is fair enough. Obama and Hillary are not anti – Jihad. However the anti non-white sentiment is very appalling and it saddens me that you are being ‘picked on’ for merely looking ‘non-white’ or ‘Muslim’. All Trump has to do is closely monitor mosques, stop immigration of Muslims (who oppose democracy and ‘western values’), tighten the border and capture and return ‘illegals’. If some American take it further than this then they are clearly over-reacting. Americans must stand together no matter what color or creed to reach these objectives.

With regard to your claim that Hillary is the lesser of two evils, that is highly debatable and of dubious validity. Having spent a career with the Intelligence Community, I can say without reservation that she exposed, through gross negligence, American secrets by using “private” servers for her official State Department emails. She is in clear violation — no ambiguity on this point — of the Espionage Act, Section, 18 U.S. Code Section 793(f)(1).
Whatever Donald Trump may have done, he is not guilty of this sort of incompetence, corruption, and utter disregard for our national security. Hillary Clinton’s guilt on this matter alone wholly disqualifies her to be the nation’s chief executive. Donald Trump has at least demonstrated competence in private business and, unlike Hillary, has signed the FRONT of many paychecks.

The only reason he’s not guilty of that on a national security level is because he’s never worked in national security. He’s a fraud whose only interest is Donald Trump. He has no viable plans for anything, and he’s so blatantly racist and sexist that his own party keeps calling him out on it. We’re not yet a laughingstock, but the world has been mocking him since he first began his campaign, because he’s nothing more than a showman who promises insanity he can’t deliver on. A wall at the border of Mexico? Who does he think he’s kidding? His plans to fix our budget and economy have been called out as unworkable, his numbers straight-up wrong…as for competence in private business, how many times has he filed for bankruptcy? He’s been sued by multiple people, including those his “university” defrauded.

Neither one of them have an ounce of integrity, but at least Hillary isn’t completely stupid. Trump has done nothing to educate himself on any of the matters he’s been called out on, and takes to whining on Twitter every time someone offends him. He has no idea whatsoever how to work with other people, and the world knows it. If he were to get elected, our international trade agreements would evaporate. On a global level, he’s far more reviled than Hillary, because his entire campaign has been a circus. He’s a meme, a joke, and he’ll never be anything more. And, like it or not, it’s a global economy now. It’s why our recession hit everyone.

The sad truth is that this country has never been “great”. No country in history ever has, and Trump’s ideology would just make it worse. I’d much rather have to eat four years of Hillary than watch Trump run this nation into the ground through sheer arrogance.

I carry no brief for Donald Trump, but let’s deal in truth here.

You claim that he’s a fraud. Proof?

You claim that he’s so blatantly racist and sexist. Proof?

You claim that he has no viable plans for anything. You haven’t been paying attention to his economic and tax plans, which are FAR more viable than anything Hillary Clinton is even capable of offering.

You cite his bankruptcies as proof of incompetence, yet you refuse to recognize that multiple factors (including partners) can effect business success or failure. You also fail to understand what bankruptcy law is all about.

You say that “at least Hillary isn’t completely stupid.” Couldn’t prove it from her past and present statements, especially on matters economic. And, she’s the one who claimed Libya as her greatest accomplishment. Really? That former country now looks like Mad Max Beyond Thunder Dome.

You say that “if he were to get elected, our international trade agreements would evaporate.” If those trade agreements went through Congress (as they properly ought to), then Donald Trump could not unilaterally nullify them. Perhaps you’re used to Barack the Magnificent thinking he has that authority, but it ain’t so under our Constitutional system.

You say that “it’s a global economy now. It’s why our recession hit everyone.” True, it IS a global economy now, but we still have individual national economies and sovereignties. Our recession — and still a recession after nearly 8 years under the fine leadership of Barack the Magnificent — didn’t cause a recession in all other nations’ economies. Much of the problem is due to the socialism that has metastasized in those economies. Another cause (not problem) is the worldwide glut of oil and natural gas.

You say that “the sad truth is that this country has never been ‘great’.” Really? Take a visit to Arlington National Cemetery and stand before the graves of many who believed otherwise and were willing to die to defend it. That is a hallmark of a great nation. Another is that, after defeating Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, as well as liberating much of Europe, we did not annex those lands. No, instead, we helped rebuild those lands. And all we asked for was a small plot of land where we could bury our dead who had fought in that conflict.
You say we’re not a ‘great’ country and never have been? We’re the only nation in human history in which the people own the government, rather than the other way around. We’re the only one that has a founding document that places limits on the government’s powers, rather than a founding document that “grants” the citizenry their rights.
You say you’d much rather have to eat four years of Hillary than to elect Donald Trump? I’ve got news for you, dear: Hillary, if elected, will impact this nation far longer and far more seriously than Donald Trump could in his wildest imagination. If Hillary gets elected, you’ll be eating a lot more than “four years.” Her legacy and impact will extend to your grandchildren.

Actually the top wide shot picture shows several American flags. Reports are that they opened with the traditional colors ceremony. So, amongst the multitude of things I find objectionable about the Democrats, i would say this is not one of them.

“Regardless of whether there were some American flags there or not”?

So you don’t care whether or not the stories you hear are true or not, you don’t care whether the stories you choose to believe are laughably easy to refute, you don’t care whether the sources you look to spread obvious lies?

All that matters is your hatred and the propaganda that stokes that is what you want. Facts or reality just get in the way.

Have they said the pledge of allegiance either? Tonight former Pres. Bill Clinton changed his daughters birth date…why? And when I checked online someone had scrubbed info like they did with Jim T Parks, Pres Obama’s real dad very ‘professionally. And changed the date of Chelsea’s birth day from 2/29/80 to 2/27/80 or in one place it was shown as 2/28/80 on line as if someone did not scrub well enough? His making a big deal about Hillary’s water broke etc. on the 27th. as not the way to keep matters private at all when one is in the public eye.
Bill needs to stop trying to lie, it never works for him to do so. . I have some more inside info on this and its not what is in the supermarket rags. This is one I wish he had kept quiet about due to the innocents involved and the Clintons must be concerned about someone other than me on this But I am in it now and just ask the question as my info is very little first hand and mostly second and third on the matter. I have enough to disagree with Hillary on politically to not dwell on non issues.

The people who participated in this gathering are supporting a bunch of thugs who pretend to be a political party. We look at them and we cannot tell what country they represent. I read that there were many Palestinian flags in that gathering but few red, white and blue flags. If they select a leader, which I understand this gathering was supposed to do, what is this leader leading? I am totally puzzled.
Oh, wait, I think it was some kind of Democratic organization selecting the next so called president. Wow!!! i would have never guessed.

Disturbing, but telling about those behind her, and what they represent: anti-America, anti-Christ, anti-responsibility, anti-Republic, anti-free speech, and even anti-gun rights so the People can never protect themselves against the tyranny of their government.

A flag for a country is symbolic. It represents a SOVEREIGN NATION. The new world order does not want borders, so sovereign nations must be abolished. No American flags anywhere at the DNC is a blatant statement as to the goals of the democratic party. How many people are really noticing and understanding the absence of the American flags??

They would have our constitution replaced by sharia law if they have their way..but thank God we have Donald Trump in our corner…but…we who love America must , financially and otherwise support him with our whole heart and pocketbooks.

There are so many out there that think that they don’t need to do anything..that Trump will win without their help…and those are the ones who will make him loose…….work hard and with prayers and GOd’s help
