With the Democratic National Convention over (as well as the need to act patriotic in front of the TV cameras), the Democrats discarded 12,000 U.S. Flags in the trash. According to this and several other stories, a vendor at Mile High stadium found them near trash bins after the convention was over. The flags were in garbage bags.

Not just a couple of garbage bags. There were 84 garbage bags full of miniature U.S. flags. Here are some photos.

The McCain campaign won’t do it, but yes I am questioning the patriotism of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, and those in charge of the Democratic National Convention.

Maybe if Obama and Biden and the leaders of their convention were Veterans, or just a little patriotic, they would know what to do with these flags. Better yet, what NOT to do.

Senator Obama and Senator Biden – Here is the U.S. Code section about the Flag of the United States of America. Read it. Remember it. Make sure your staff does, too. People died defending our flag.

Ironically, some voters were starting to believe that Obama was a little more patriotic after he started wearing his flag pin again. He’s also been seen placing his hand over his heart during the National Anthem. Now I believe we saw the real Obama when he did not wear a flag pin or place his hand over his heart. When you are trolling for votes, it changes a person.

Of course, the Obama campaign said the flags were stolen from the convention. They did not say why the flags were sitting beside the trash bins. I guess when you are caught being unpatriotic, they believe it is best to lie like hell to get out of it.

Fortunately, the McCain campaign found a great use for the “trash” the democrats left. They rescued the flags and used them at a rally in Colorado. Good for them.

We know McCain is the patriot in this race. He fought for our flag, our country, and shed blood in defense of our country. Obama? Well, he was a community organizer and he gave a speech in 2002.
