Where did they get them so quickly?  I mean, they were brand-new looking.  Besides that, how many college-age students do you know who own American flags? \u00a0Especially ones that big!<\/p>\n<p>I also saw those \u201cChange\u201d plaques in the crowd from the Obama campaign.  That struck me with curiosity too.  Would you have taken an Obama campaign plaque with you?  Just asking???<\/p>\n<p>This was like a flash crowd armed with American flags?  How could that happen?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/244\/2011\/05\/US-Flag-close-up.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-281\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/244\/2011\/05\/US-Flag-close-up.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"133\" height=\"170\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/244\/2011\/05\/US-Flag-close-up.jpg\"><\/a>I mean, today with Facebook and all, I can understand how it could be conjured up, but what I don\u2019t know is how all those young people got all those flags so late at night?  Even if they all went to Wal-Mart, how could they have gotten that many?  Wal-Marts don\u2019t have that many flags in stock.  And would you run to Wal-Mart to buy a flag to take with you?  I mean, would that be your first reaction, as a college student, to run to some store that might be opened at 10 or 11 o&#8217;clock on a Sunday night?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Also, how could all those young people get there? \u00a0I mean 99.99999999% of Americans didn&#8217;t even know Osama\/Usama had been killed yet?<\/p>\n<p><strong>PLEASE CLICK HERE \u00a0ON THE BLUE LETTERS. . .\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blog.beliefnet.com\/watchwomanonthewall\/?p=271\">Think about it and see if you can come up with an answer to this question.

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House. I search the Internet for items that ought to serve as a warning to Americans and Christians all through America, but the nation seems to be sleeping. Wake up America!
