"We believe in the flag" Palin says

[question everything]

why, then is McCain not wearing (at least in the debates) a flag pin, while they were ready to crucify Obama for respecting the flag in deeds, not in being adorned with it?

[Rabrrrrrr]

1. Everybody believes in the goddamned flag, Palin. Christ, she's fucking stupid.

Her and her whole Republican intelligence-fearing rightwing fuckwits.

"I believe in the flag" - well, you should. It's been around for 200+ fucking years. Jesus. Even Osama bin Laden believes in the US flag, because he's not a goddamned moron.

It would take a truly psychotic, paranoid, or schizophrenic person not to believe in the flag.

Fucking stupid dumb unthoughtful inelegant language-mangling fucking bitch.

[Spritz57]

51. I've seen her wear a polar bear pin but no flag pin.

If one were conspiracy minded, one might think the polar bear pin was a symbol for the AIP, since it is their logo and their bi-laws do encourage members to wear their logo in public.

[islandmkl]

2. yeah, well she might want to tell m.c.johnny and all their followers:

While digesting Reader’s Digest
In the back of a dirty book store
A plastic flag with gum on the back
Fell out on the floor.
Well,I picked it up and ran outside
And slapped it on my windowshield.
And If I could see ol’ Betsy Ross
I’d tell her how good I feel.

(Chorus:)
But, you flag decal won’t get you
Into Heaven anymore.
They’re already overcrowded
From your dirty little war
Now Jesus don’t like Killin’
No matter what the reasons for.
And your flag decal won’t get you into Heaven anymore.

Well,I went to the Bank this morning
And the cashier said to me
If you join the Christmas Club
We'll give you ten of them flags for free.
I didn’t mess a round a bit
I took him up on what he said
And stuck them stickers all over my car
And one on my wife’s forehead.

(Chorus:)
But, you flag decal won’t get you
Into Heaven anymore.
They’re already overcrowded
From your dirty little war
Now Jesus don’t like Killin’
No matter what the reasons for.
And your flag decal won’t get you into Heaven anymore.

Well,I got my windshield so filled with flags I couldn’t see
So I ran my car upside a curb and right into a tree
By the time they got a doctor down
I was already dead,
And I’ll never understand
Why the man,
Standing in the Pearly Gates said…

(Chorus:)
But your flag decal won’t get you into Heaven anymore,
We’re already overcrowded from your dirty little war
Now Jesus don’t like killin’
No matter what the reasons for.
And your flag decal won’t get you into Heaven anymore.

3. What does this mean? How about believing in what it takes to CARE about one another?

[question everything]

5. As we've seen before, Palin is master at stringing along words which

together make no sense.

[Zenlitened]

4. Sarah Palin is a seccessionist sympathizer.

That's a fact.

[CitizenPatriot]

6. not so much, Palin.

AIP sympathizer..this is why she has to repeat this over and over and over again.

No one would dare question the queen.

Orwellian Queen of BS.

[Bobbieo]

14. Which flag does she believe in - the one with 50 stars or 49 stars?

[CitizenPatriot]

20. yeah, or maybe it isn't the american flag at all

but the polar bear flag of the AIP (I haven't actually seen their flag, but this is a guess since the pin she was wearing for the past few days was identified as the AIP Polar Bear).

Who is investigating her? clearly not the press.

[iamahaingttta]

7. What does it mean to "believe in the flag"?

I believe it exists.
Is there something else about it that I'm supposed to believe?

[trof]

Search me. I have no idea what that means.

[Clio the Leo]

8. and WE dont believe in pimping the flag out! NT

[Mariana]

9. ...we just want to take a star off of it.

[Tribetime]

10. how many pukes will flags when Obama wins

[TheCowsCameHome]

11. Giuliani holds exclusive rights to it, Sarah. Go borrow his.

Or better yet, just go home.

[ddeclue]

12. I believe in the Constitution and Bill of Rights, every country in the history of the world has had

a flag!

Some folks are born
made to wave the flag,
Ooh, they're red, whit and blue.
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief",
they point the cannon right at you.
It ain't me,
it ain't me.
I ain't no senator's son.
It ain't me,
it ain't me.
I ain't no fortunate one.
Some folks are born
silver spoon in hand,
Lord don't they help themselves.
But when the tax man comes to the door,
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale.
It ain't me,
it ain't me.
I ain't no millionaire's son.
It ain't me,
it ain't me.
I ain't no fortunate one.
Some folks inherit
star spangled eyes,
Ooh, they send you down to war.
And when you ask them,
"How much should we give?"
They only answer "More! More! More!"
It ain't me,
it ain't me.
I ain't no military son.
It ain't me,
it ain't me.
I ain't no fortunate one.
It ain't me,
it ain't me.
I ain't no Fortunate Son.

39. True Americans don't give a fig about the flag.

Republicons worship the flag, and shit on the Constitution.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

13. Is the flag a religious icon?

She could say she honors the flag. But some Republicans raise patriotic symbols to the level of religious symbols. The way they think the Bible should be strictly construed reminds me of the same biblical way of viewing the U.S. Constitution, as fixed and something that cannot be interpreted and that those judges who do it are "activists".

[foxfeet]

22. Flagolatry. When it's convenient.

It's similar to Bibolatry and Fetusolatry.

[graywarrior]

15. Nag nag nag

[K8-EEE]

18. Where was her flag pin in her taped AIP address?? ?Where was the flag

for that matter....when do you see a governor at their desk with no US flag in the shot. She didn't want to upset her AIP buddies --- she's knows they hate the "damned US flag," as their founder said!

[spanone]

19. they are portraying democrats as unpatriotic and terrorists...they are evil incarnate

[Starbucks Anarchist]

21. "But we don't give a shit about the Constitution."

[dana_b]

23. you believe in the flag....

but do you believe in what it is supposed to represent? Or is that inconsequential to false patriotism and the "do-anything-to-win" attitude that tears this country apart?

[dana_b]

24. dupe

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

25. Quick somebody ask her what the stars and stripes mean. n/t

27. If you believe in the flag, Sarah, DON'T DEFACE IT!

Which you have done on at least one occasion!

[donco6]

28. I believe in what it stands for. The flag itself is just cloth. n/t

[vanderBeth]

31. That's just what I was about to say.

[HughMoran]

29. I'm sick of Palin, oh am I ever sick of hearing about every fucking word this anus faced troll says

OMG this election season has been hell having to read every hate-filled work she says here on DU!

ARRRGGGHHH!!

[demokatgurrl]

47. I had exactly the same thought and was about to post it

but I'll just say "What HughMoran said".
Every time I even READ something she said, let alone hear it, I want to :puke:

[HughMoran]

48. She's the most disgusting VP candidate in my lifetime

She acts like some of the crazy right-wing trolls in Congress that wouldn't in 100 years me considered VP material.

I can't believe we have to be subjected to the words of an ignoramus. :eyes:

[Johonny]

32. Oh please someone ask her how many strips on the flag...

[Indenturedebtor]

33. The Nazis believed in their flag. I believe in the Constitution thanks fascibitch n/t

[Joey Liberal]

34. Sarah Palin is a Fascist nt

[BootinUp]

35. What she really meant

(we) believe in white people for President and Vice President that are against abortion and pro wars for oil, and pro lassez faire capitalism.



* This is somewhat simplified but pretty close.

[LiberalFighter]

36. Believe in the flag? I didn't know it talks! I didn't know the flag lies or tells the truth!!

[justiceischeap]

37. I didn't get the new memo, I thought her ilk were supposed to believe in God. (eom)

[Phx_Dem]

38. Which one -- the Confederate flag or the Fascist flag? n/t

[JustAnotherGen]

40. I wonder if she also pledges allegiance to it?

:rofl:

This is D.U. - so I'm sure I don't have to get into it! :rofl: But I've pissed off more than a few of the Palin types since 2001 pointing to them the history of the pledge to the flag! :rofl: They always go ape-shit ballistic! :rofl:

[Hansel]

41. I believe in them too. I actually saw one. On Obama's lapel. n/t

[Guaranteed]

42. No she doesn't. She's already demonstrated that she has no

idea what it stands for.

[jsmirman]

44. This woman is a very, very evil person

as vapid as Bush, but with demagogue set to ten.

[TheManagement]

45. really?

Is that so?

"Uncle Sam, take your flag and get out"
"I won't be buried under their damn flag"
"Take our star off of the flag"

[FKA MNChimpH8R]

49. I'll take the Constitution over the flag any day
