Whilst in Madagascar, it took me several days to ascertain who won the US election. The lack of media was delicious.
Well done America. You displayed a surprising ability to make a decent decision for once. I'm preparing myself to forgive you.

The people of the United States actually have two national flags: one for our military government and another for the civil. Each one has fifty stars in its canton and thirteen red and white stripes, but there are several important differences.
Although most Americans think of the Stars and Stripes (above left) as their only flag, it is actually for military affairs only. The other one, meant by its makers for wider use (peacetime), has vertical stripes with blue stars on a white field (above right). You can see this design, which bears civil jurisdiction, in the U.S. Coast Guard and Customs flags, but their service insignias replace the fifty stars.
I first learned of the separate, civil flag when I was reading Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter, published in 1850. The introduction, titled "The Custom House," includes this description:
From the loftiest point of its roof, during precisely three and a half hours of each forenoon, floats or droops, in breeze or calm, the banner of the republic; but with the thirteen stripes turned vertically, instead of horizontally, and thus indicating that a civil, and not a military post of Uncle Sam's government, is here established.
It took me two years of digging before I found a picture that matched what he was describing: my second clue was an original Illuminated History of North America (1860). If this runs against your beliefs, look up those two references.
History book publishers contribute to the public's miseducation by always picturing the flag in military settings, creating the impression that the one with horizontal stripes is the only one there is. They don't actually lie; they just tell half the truth. For example, the "first American flag" they show Betsy Ross sewing at George Washington's request, was for the Revolution - of course it was military.
The U.S. government hasn't flown the civil flag since the Civil War, as that war is still going on. Peace has never been declared, nor have hostilities against the people ended. The government is still operating under quasi-military rule.
You movie buffs may recall this: In the old Westerns, "Old Glory" has her stripes running sideways and a military yellow fringe. Most of these films are historically accurate about that; their stories usually took place in the territories still under military law and not yet states. Before WWII, no U.S. flag, civil or military, flew within the forty-eight states (except in federal settings); only state flags did. Since then, the U.S. government seems to have decided the supposedly sovereign states are its territories too, so it asserts its military power over them under the "law of the flag."
Today the U.S. military flag appears alongside, or in place of, the state flags in nearly all locations within the states. All of the state courts and even the municipal ones now openly display it. This should have raised serious questions from many citizens long ago, but we've been educated to listen and believe what we are told, not to ask questions, or think or search for the truth.

McALLEN, Texas — A South Texas grand jury has indicted Vice President Dick Cheney and former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on charges related to the alleged abuse of prisoners in Willacy County's federal detention centers.
The indictment criticizes Cheney's investment in the Vanguard Group, which holds interests in the private prison companies running the federal detention centers. It accuses Cheney of a conflict of interest and "at least misdemeanor assaults" on detainees by working through the prison companies.
Gonzales is accused of using his position while in office to stop an investigation into abuses at the federal detention centers.

Documentary reveals how little Obama voters knew about issues

If you wanna find information that discredits Obama supporters, there's plenty of it out there. And if you wanna find information that discredits McCain/Palin supporters there's plenty of that out there too.
These people are pissing into the wind though. The election is over, and they can't change who their president is. They can either spend the next 4 years full of hate and fear, or they can step back - get some perspective, and realize that the apocalypse won't come just because their candidate didn't win.

Dear World:
Sorry for allowing the media's darling Obama to take office. But having said that, I still stand by what I said last time. All this hype about change will amount to crap. There's no way Obama (or any US president for that matter) can take on the real forces that control American foreign policy. No ways US will suddenly dismantle all those military bases around the world. Empire will remain empire - period. I look at all the people across the world jumping up in jubilation to 'welcome a new era' & I shake my head in despair. Will the human race ever wake up? I think not. As they say, 'let the dead bury their fellow dead'.

Let's not be silly on this thread.
It's common knowledge that Obama's National Security Advisor (the guy who Obama basically works for) is Zbigniew Brzezinski who is also former National Security Advisor for former President Carter. For all who have never heard of Zbigniew, look him up.More common knowledge:
Zbigniew Brzezinski is co-founder, along with David Rockefeller of the Trilateral Commission:
http://www.google.com/search?cli…Brzezinski wrote 'The Grand Chessboard'.
I invite the readers of this thread to check that book out. or at least look up and read some speeches given by Brzezinski. Then you might get a clear idea what is really occuring.That's all.
Just a friendly reminder to not be silly.- The Carter connection again. Love it!********
- So far, I see a bunch of Carter and Clinton advisors being associated with Obama. Where's the O'CHANGE?********

The Audacity of the Democrats
http://www.americanthinker.com/2…"Because he reflects his Party's leftist agenda, has unique, prodigious manipulative talents and equally impressive Hollywood attributes. These are indispensable in closing out the dangerous, deliberate game the Democrats have been playing with America's security and its perceived stature in the world. It is a game that has been going on beneath our noses since the election of 2000."
