At press conferences and photo opportunities these days it seems as if displaying a single American Flag behind a politician, or bureaucrat making a speech is not enough. Now three, four, and as many as six flags are required to deliver the intended message. Isn't it strange that just one U.S. Flag isn't enough to recite a staged, scripted speech? This is not coincidental; there's a method to this madness. It's a if the more flags are displayed behind the person on the spotlight, the more authenticity it gives to the occasion; It makes the message more valid. I believe that the increase of Flags is a means of drumming up faux-patriotism. Can you see when they're pulling the wool over your eyes?
Arsenio.
