This Is Not What We Were Taught

Subj: Fw: this is not the way we were taught.....

This makes me sick...

Here is a little bit of RECORDED history and being that we all have a tendency to forget issues (mainly when it is convenient to us); it is good to refresh those tired neurons . . . 
The  following is a narrative taken from Sunday Morning's televised "Meet The  Press'. The author is employed by none other than the Washington Post!!
From Sunday's 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST, Televised "Meet the Press" THE THEN Senator Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag. 
General Bill Ginn' USAF (ret.) asked Obama to explain WHY he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.
The General also stated to Obama that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171... 
During rendition of the national anthem, when the flag is  displayed, all present (except those in uniform) are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Or, at the very least, "Stand and  Face It".
Senator Obama replied: 
"As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be  perceived as taking sides".  "There are a lot of people in the  world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression." 
"The anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all that sort of thing.." 
ARE YOU READY FOR THIS???  
Obama said:  "The National Anthem should be 'swapped' for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To  Sing'. (Are you sh*tt*ng me???) If that were our anthem, then, I might salute it. In my opinion, we should consider reinventing our National Anthem as well as 'redesign' our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love.

It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of  acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we, as a Nation of waring people, conduct ourselves as the nations of Islam where peace prevails - - - perhaps a state or period of mutual accord could exist between our governments ." 
When I become President, I will seek a pact or agreement to end hostilities between  those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation have placed upon the nations of Islam an unfair injustice which is WHY my Wife disrespects the Flag and she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past".
"Of course now, I have found myself about to become the  President of the United States and I have put my hatred aside. I will  use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First black Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America "
Yes, you read it right. I, for one, am speechless!!!
