Thursday Open Thread

Talk about whatever is knocking around in your head.

Here’s one thing that is knocking around in my head, but it’s more of a WTF. Chuck Norris wants you to desecrate a flag:

As 9/12 concluded, we all heard many ways to keep this revolutionary movement going. But I was sitting back thinking there’s one way we can take a daily stand and declare that as for me and my house, we will serve God and the republic as the Founders did.

If that describes you, then I suggest you fly some revolutionary flag in lieu of your 50-star flag over the next year. Post the 13-star Betsy Ross flag, Navy Jack or Gadsden flag (“Don’t Tread on Me”) or any representation that tells the story of Old Glory and makes a stand for our Founders’ vision of America.

Of course, patriots know that the 50-star flag truly represents one nation under God and our Founders’ republic, but modernists simply don’t get it. So what do you say we make a statement by flying a different flag and educate our neighbors when they ask us, “Why are you flying that flag instead of the contemporary Stars and Stripes?” (If you insist on posting a modern USA flag, too, then get one that is tea-stained to show your solidarity with our Founders.)

Are they going to burn flags next? I guess Chuck Norris is lucky that Republicans never got that flag-desecration amendment they wanted so badly. Seriously, I don’t get it – 9 months of a Democratic president and the so-called patriots are ready to hang it up. I guess they only love George W. Bush’s America. What a bunch of whining quitters they are. Sarah Palin is their perfect leader – she’s a whining quitter too.

    ugh it didnt work. i’ll try to find it, if not me<= fail

    ok sorry about the spam, it wont be as funny with all the rigamarole, but trust me it is comedic gold

    Will ACORN be Obama’s Monica Lewinski?

  4. a. price says:

    no, Obama didn’t fuck acorn. right wing covert-op spies did

  5. RICO says:

    The Obama administration has notified Congress of the State Department’s intention to contribute $400,000 to foundations run by Muammar Qaddafi’s two children — $200,000 each for daughter Aisha and son Saif. Saif, you may recall, is the son who escorted the Lockerbie terrorist Abdel Baset al-Megrahi home to a hero’s welcome in Libya after President Obama sternly “warned” Qaddafi that there was to be no hero’s welcome.

    What I love is that the 13 original colonies are the following:

    Massachusetts (Obama won)
    Rhode Island (Obama won)
    Connecticut (Obama won)
    New Hampshire (Obama won)
    New York (Obama won)
    Delaware (Obama won)
    New Jersey (Obama won)
    Pennsylvania (Obama won)
    Virginia (Obama won)
    Maryland (Obama won)
    North Carolina (Obama won)
    South Carolina (McCain won)
    Georgia (McCain won)

    Maybe we should go back to those 13 original states and let these nutcases have their fall-out shelters and backwoods militias where they can play army. Before we put them into the FEMA concentration camps, of course.

    And ACORN… those two little spoiled young Republicans violated Maryland wiretapping laws, so hopefully they’ll go to jail and then we can see what the inmates think of them.

    In closing, I appreciate that Republicans are finally admitting that they are regressive and want us to go back to the way things were in the 1700’s. You know, with all that white-man landowning and women knowing their place business. THINGS WERE SO GREAT THEN! Spare the disease, widespread poverty, illiteracy, racism, and religion squashing technology.

    I’m betting that Chuckie’s flag desecration is playing real well among independents. These people aren’t going to be happy until they’ve alienated the 77% of the country who aren’t them.

    Daily Telegraph: Obama’s churlishness to UK Prime Minister is unforgivable

    Daily Telegraph (UK) ^ | September 24th, 2009 | David Hughes
    The juxtaposition on our front page this morning is striking. We carry a photograph of Acting Sgt Michael Lockett – who was killed in Helmand on Monday – receiving the Military Cross from the Queen in June, 2008. He was the 217th British soldier to die in the Afghan conflict. Alongside the picture, we read that the Prime Minister was forced to dash through the kitchens of the UN in New York to secure a few minutes “face time” with President Obama after five requests for a sit-down meeting were rejected by the White House. What are we to make…

    LOL Daily Telegraph, what’s the Weekly World News say?

    Carper voted against the amendment that would cut drug costs for seniors and also save the taxpayers 85 billion. A few million in donations to Carper nets the drug companies 85 billion in profit – easiest money they ever made.
