No Room For Old Glory

The organizers of Thursday's “All-American Presidential Forum,” a supposed opportunity for Republican presidential candidates to address issues of special interest to black Americans, not only failed to include an American flag on the stage, they denied Duncan Hunter's request to provide one.

Who's the "they" as in "they denied Duncan Hunter's request to provide one."
Hold them to the fire. Make them understand responsibility.
Obviously someone believes that All-American means more than just little ol' United States.
I'm voting for an American President, not a global one.

I was looking for this when I did the first post as it fits the no flag folks just fine...

Theodore Roosevelt on Immigrants and being an AMERICAN
"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the man's becoming in very fact an American, and nothing but an American...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag, which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile...We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language...and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."
Theodore Roosevelt 1907

First and formost I would like to know just who would the Flag offend??
There has been a lost of blood spilled by folks to keep that Flag and
what it stands for...Stop your whining the folks of this country have
become a bunch of whiners and complainers who don't know how good they
really have it...Political correctness is sending this country down the
drain.
