Hypocrisy and the United States Flag code

You've got to be kidding me. Suddenly Martin Bashir and MSNBC actually give a damn about the U. S. Flag code? Seriously?! I thought no one else in the United States cared about violations of the U. S. Flag code except me. I'm the one who calls business up when they don't have their flags at half staff for 30 DAYS after a president dies. I'm the one who gets ticked when a state governor orders the AMERICAN flag to be flown at half staff. No one else even knows about the Flag Code or seems to care when I point out violations of it. If fact, the United States Supreme Court has ruled that to actually enforce the Flag Code would be a violation of an American's First Amendment rights. Now we've got some sanctimonious Brit trying to tell Gov. Sara Palin how to properly respect the flag of her nation. Excuse me Mr. Bashir but I'm pretty sure that the United States fought two wars against the United Kingdom just so we'd have the right to say, "Mind your own damn business!" Martin Bashir and MSNBC, hypocrites.

It's like Seth Meyer said at the White House Correspondence Dinner, "Everyone knows how the MSNBC after party goes. Obama makes the Kool-Aid and they all drink it."

Last week I shared with you a bit of the hypocrisy of President Obama and the mainstream media in regards to the federal governments debt ceiling. Here's a short video about their hypocrisy vis a vis gas prices. The reality of it is that high gas prices are not the Presidents fault (well, maybe a little bit) and gas prices aren't bad. Prices can't be good or bad they just are what that are. They are a signal to consumers and producers alike to change their behaviors.

What is the Presidents fault is his hypocritical stance of blaming George W. Bush for high gas prices on the campaign trail and telling everyone that he felt their pain. Now that he's in the White House high gas prices are not to be blamed on the President and in fact they are a good thing and the American people should just get used to it.

I can handle a difference of opinion on public policy issues. What I can not stand is hypocrisy, from either side of the debate.
