What’s been missing at the Democratic National Convention?
(1) American flags. The first night, there were Palestinian flags on the convention floor. Outside, Bernie Sander’s socialist followers flew the red banner with the hammer and sickle of the Soviet flag. But no Old Glory. Not until an article in the Daily Caller pointed out the absence of the American flag, in stark contrast with the Republican convention where the stars and stripes were everywhere. Whereupon the Democrats brought in some.
(2) References to terrorism. Fact-checkers confirmed that none of the 61 speakers on the first day of the convention mentioned the words terror, terrorism, terrorist, Islamic, or ISIS. There was scant mention Tuesday, but Wednesday’s emphasis on foreign policy did include talk about terrorism.
