To the Democrats

United States Code, 36 U.S.C. § 301, states that during the playing of "The Star Spangled Banner" (United States National Anthem) when the flag is displayed, everyone except those in uniform should stand at attention while facing the flag with their right hand over their heart. Those in attendance who are not in uniform should remove any headwear with their right hand and hold it at their left shoulder, with their right hand held over their heart. Individuals in uniform should show the military salute during the first note of the anthem and stay in this position until the last note. If the flag is not displayed, people in attendance should face the music and respond as if the flag were present.

Persons in uniform should render the military salute at the first note of the anthem and retain this position until the last note. When the flag is not displayed, those present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed there.

1) Michelle Obama said that for the first time in her adult life she is really proud of this country.. how does that translate to hate?

2)I never put my hand over my heart during the anthem. I know I don't hate America, I hate some of the dumb asses who live here.. but not the country. I don't feel the need to worship the flag, sorry. Hey.. Obama didn't wear a flag pin on his lapel for a long time, either, how terrible.
 
Thank you, I stand corrected! That other guy is just as bad, he is not faced towards the music.
 
Actually, I thought it was kind of BS for him to start wearing the lapel pin. Don't worry Cassie, penalties for not treating the anthem correctly is left up to each state.
 
Re: the saluting the muscians thing: For being a hot-shot lawyer you'd think he'd be up on all of that stuff especially after being called out on it.
 
I still stand at the POA for the national anthem, even tho I've been out of active duty for five years.

I'm glad Obama won because it's what this country needs and blah blah blah, but McCain and Palin would've been so much more fun to make fun of...
