Obama on The National Anthem...

Hot on the heels of his explanation for why he no longer wears a flag pin,
presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama was forced to explain why he
doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played.

According to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171,
During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present
except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the flag
with the right hand over the heart.

"As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking
sides," Obama said. "There are a lot of people in the world to whom the
American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a
war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should
be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song
'I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might
salute it."

Anyone who votes for him is still a fruitloop with their head in the sand.

Snopes tells us he never made that statement but WHY didn't he put his hand over his heart? Why doesn't he wear an American flag pin? Has he ever explained this to us? Maybe he has, I just don't remember what, if anything he said regarding these things.

If you have 13 minutes, watch this. If you still think Barack Hussain Obama should be the next president of the United States, then something just isn't clicking in your head. I don't care for McCain either but it looks like it's going to come down to voting for the lesser of two evils AGAIN!

^And you think Liberals are paranoid?


We either get a Democrat or a RINO for President.

The only difference one or the other will make is how we appear on the world stage, and after W the only way to go is up.

Worry more about who's in Congress than Obama.

Who said they thought libs are paranoid? I've only said they are clueless and have their head in the sand.

Obama is an anti-American terrorist. Hopefully, someone will put a bullet through his head if he's elected.

If he's elected! The bullets should be aimed at the ones who voted for him, while they are watching American Idle.
