Is this what it's come to?

"Every day brings it's own set of suprises," I heard once. Today's "surprise" (I mean seriously, can we even be surprised anymore?) reported on Atlas Shrugs is an "American" flag with Obama's face firmly planted where the field of stars should be. I mean come on people.



Michelle Malkin reported on her site back in January when an Obama supporter did something similar. Click here to read that article.

She noted at that time that the US Flag Code states "“The flag should never have placed upon it, nor on any part of it, nor attached to it any mark, insignia, letter, word, figure, design, picture, or drawing of any nature.”

There is no doubt that what was done is a desecration of our flag. See this Widipedia article for more information on flag desecration. Here they note that "Today, defacing a flag is an act of protected speech under the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, as established in Texas v. Johnson, 491 U.S. 397 (1989), and reaffirmed in U.S. v. Eichman, 496 U.S. 310 (1990)." Protected or not, this is wrong.

Some have called for boycotts of the manufacturer of this flag, which I agree with. No amount of profit should be put above our nation's colors. Here is a link to the site where this flag can be purchased on ebay. I intend to write ebay and see if this can be removed. Anyone want to join me?
