Democrats procure flags for convention stage after Old Glory missing from Monday night's festivities
2016-07-28
  • [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Monday night's Democratic convention featured a sleek digital background – but no actual flags were found on the stage

  • Donald Trump's GOP convention was bathed in patriotic imagery. A total of 36 American flags were on the stage during Trump's speech last week

  • Democrats instead opted for a sleek gray background, with digital images of stars

  • After the flag-less stage was reported on Monday night, flags were wheeled onto the stage Tuesday

#2  Symbols displayed for theatrical effect. No actual core belief or pride behind them. So only when criticized for their absence are they added. In the whole array of senior democrat leaders surveying the preparations no one noticed the missing national ensign. Tells you much about the heart of that party.

Stole 'em from the local VFWs, no doubt.
