Political opinions are not a good subject for the Elecraft Reflector.  Send them to your buddies but not directly to a reflector.   Jim K4JAF

  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' 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'. 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' 

  WHAAAAAAAT the Hell is that!!! 
  Yes, you read it right. 


  This could possibly be our next President. 
  I, for one, am speechless!!! 


    Dale Lindsborg, 
    Washington Post 
    HOW FAST CAN YOU FORWARD THIS TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW???
