The American flag..

I could careless about what other people think about my country,if they don't like than they should stop taking our aid and kiss our ass..God bless America.. if we can't stand up for America, than we have no right to be here..

I don't have a problem standing up for America. What I have a problem with is government that forgets what America stands for. It isn't America do or die.
It's people holding government and officials accountable. We did it with Spiro Agnew...we did it with Nixon and his cronies. We did it with Oliver North.
We did it with Bill Clinton..we did it with Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz.
When government stops listening to the people that elected them into position of power over them, its' time to impeach.
We went to war with a bad bill of goods...we were lied to.
Lie to me..all bets are off. Present a plausible argument, and perhaps, I can be persuaded over to your point of view...but lie to me, and I want your head on a silver platter.
Stand up for what is right...not when America acts like an aggressor, or a bully, or a murderer. Abu Gharib is a stain on the American military, and by extension, the American people. I won't stand up for that. I won't stand up for Gitmo....not after we performed so honorably at the Nuremberg Trials.
We have lost our honor, and we have little to be proud of.

So why isn't it being done with this group of God, like idiots?

So why isn't it being done with this group of God, like idiots?

Because I believe most of them believe (especially Republicans) that America can do no wrong, has never done wrong, and will do no wrong. Until "they" admit that that is a fantasy, we cannot move forward.
We admitted that we, as a nation, were wrong to inter patriotic Japanese Americans, in camps, during WWII. We apologized and offered reparations.
We, begrudgingly, admitted that we were wrong for the injustices done during slavery, and "half-heartedly" apologized, but offered up no reparations...which by the way is fine with me...I want no reparations...what I want is a "level-playing" field, where people are judged on the merits, on their talents and their abilities, not on allegiances, not on ideology, not on how much butt they can kiss.
We have forgotten the art of compromise..it's the only way things get done in government. Until you are willing to settle for part of what you want, in return for giving me part of what I want, we'll go nowhere. plain and simple.

So I take it your not an American?

Now I get it..so the story is" not to believe in any thing no god, no country, no family, no damn honor....but the sad part is, I am not shock at all...

Exodus 20:4 Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in the heaven above or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth, thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord they God am a jealous God , visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.[/COLOR]

No likeness of anything in the heavens , nor on the earth, nor in the water beneath . I think God pretty much covered it all when he said this mlurp. And it is not just talking about likeness of men and animals it is talking about things like crosses, and yes flags if the person is calling them sacred there is a problem.

Now I do not believe the problem comes when people fly a flag. I believe the problem comes when people become zealots about the flag, as many do. And certainly pledging allegiance to the flag goes against the commandments of God. Our allegiance is to belong to nothing but God.

So yes by all means fly a flag, and be proud of it as a American symbol. But always remember that it is just that a symbol , a piece of cloth, no reason to get carried away about it. Because the bible tells us that all Nations and creeds of man will eventually come sabbath to sabbath and worship together God and our Lord. I do not think flags of the nations will be the same ones if any at all that we have now.

I'm saying about what you were saying but money is what draws the greedy and those that will sell honor for 30 pieces of silver. It is the power to create money to have what you want done completed. Now that is like when a president just before being installed on January 20th is shown a film (from the shooters point of view of the Kennedy assassination) and asked now what is your agenda?

besides why is it every new president have an agenda? Why not an American agenda. Selected by the people! think about it. Ya we have our head in the sand to deep! lol

America First

Do you think God would be happy with your devotion to a flag? Are you serving it? Are you giving it too much importance in life? then the answer is no God is not happy with your devotion to a flag. It is a man made object, not really much more. As Freeman said everybody and everything has a flag. Gosh the Brownies have their own flag.

I have quoted what God says in the ten commandments about idol worship below and I can give you a simple question to ask yourself to see where you stand.

Have you spent more time talking and thinking about God than the USA and its flag in the last year? ...... I hope so, other wise you best check yourself.

You say you believe in God , well the bible clearly says that a Christian is not one who says they are a follower of Christs , a Christian is one who obeys the commands of God.

But that the problem, your lack of honor and respect for this great nation is blame on every office holder, remember this," DC is not America, we are."
