US Flag Sales Up in the Middle East Albeit for a Different Reason
Thanks to the Obama Administration's excellent foreign-policy US flag sales are up all over the Middle East.
Now then, normally this would be a good thing, but unfortunately it isn't, and there are a couple reasons, of which I'd like to explain.
You see, due to the imbalance of trade between the United States and China all the US flags being sold in the Middle East aren't actually made in the United States, they are made in China.
Since the US does not have the copyrights to its own flag, anyone may reproduce it that wishes to do so, and their rights are unlimited.
Now then, there's a second more serious problem.
It turns out that the reason so many folks are buying US flags in the Middle East is not to display them, wave them, or to honor the United States in any way.
The reason so many people in the Middle East are buying US flags is to burn them for the television cameras.
You see, everyone wants to be on TV, they want to get famous, and use their bad behavior, and outrageous protesting to achieve their 15 minute of fame.
What better way to do this from their perspective than to engage in violent behavior while torching the US flag.
Indeed, I did start out this article suggesting that the Obama Administration's foreign-policy is the reason people are burning our flag.
In fact, I do believe that is true.
Remember when President Obama gave a speech in Egypt, everyone thought that the world might reunite, and the culture clash would soon be over, President Obama even promised it would.
They therefore gave him the Nobel Peace Prize, albeit a little premature for his wonderful speech, the speech that he read from the Teleprompter while in Cairo talking to students.
Yes, the US flag is a symbol representing the United States, and it is all about symbolism it appears because these protests and riots are rather counterproductive as they turn to US citizens away from allowing their elected representatives to send more aid to the countries whose citizens are causing the ruckus.
One of the quickest things we could do is pull our wheat off the market, not allowing it to go to any Middle Eastern country.
If we do the same thing with corn and soybeans, and other products these people would overthrow their own governments in a fit of rage due to the lack of food or the high costs it would cause there.
Some might say that my suggestion is evil, but it isn't any less evil than torching a US embassy and killing the people inside including our US ambassador.
If those country's governments will not defend our embassies which are there to foster trade and cooperation, then perhaps those governments are just not needed anymore, therefore if their own people overthrow them - so be it? Indeed, I'd like you to think long and hard about that last statement.
And you all are fairly lucky that I'm not the commander-in-chief today, and that you have a very weak Teleprompter in Chief who is busy appeasing those folks.
In my belief system, tough love is politically correct; and that means bad behavior is not rewarded, it is severely punished.
What I suggest above is merely one step in a 1 to 10 program, that I would've already initiated.
Please be advised, Dear World, the United States is here to stay, it isn't going away, and if anyone has a problem with it, then they will have to leave this planet first.
That's my opinion, and I'm sticking to it.
