Apparently Obama is the only one in the picture that paid attention in 1st Grade, which is where I was taught that you only put your hand over your heart to say Pledge of Allegiance, and keep your hands at your sides when you sing/listen to the National Anthem. I've noticed over the years that a lot of people apparently have forgotten first grade lessons or never learned them in the first place.

Nope your are incorrect..Your grade school must of been in Moscow.


During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. -- United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171

LOL, I spent first grade in one of the reddest northern states in the union. I decided to check around the web on the subject too. Apparently even some of the companies that make a living from citizen patriotism give guidance similar to what I was taught. Other people out there on the web are saying they were taught the same way I was, right, wrong or indifferent. Thing is to show attitude of respect during the anthem, according to how we were taught to show respect. All people in that photo were standing in attitudes of respect, most likely according to the way they were taught. Right, wrong or indifferent. Don't read something into it that isn't there, i.e. disrespect.

When the National Anthem is played and the flag is not displayed, all present should stand and face toward the music. Those in uniform should salute ...All others should stand at attention [note, article does not say "all others should also salute"]. "When the flag is displayed, all present should face the flag and salute.

Maybe that flag company is based in Moscow. Better beware who you buy your flags from. :cheesy:

You left out the best part!

Don't read something into it that isn't there, i.e. disrespect.

I'm SO glad we violently agree! Showing respect the way we are taught, is an entirely different matter from whether we were taught the proper way in the first place. So long as a person shows respect according to how they were taught, it says nothing negative about their level of patriotism. I have full confidence even a conservative can tell the difference between the two (Oh, the audacity of hope). OK, I'm done now.

Geraldine Ferraro would get my vote.

I wish Ross would give it another shot.
Dude NEVER blinked an eye when he answered a question.

Two things that turned me off about Perot..

1. He wanted to put a .50 cent tax on gasoline immediately. (imagine paying that now)

2. He abandoned the fight when he almost had it and then came back, then left again...(shows me he can't stick to a decision)

He is human unlike the other two and not use to Washington politics. Someone is going to have to start making the unpopular tough chose.

Geez....this was supposed to be funny

Perhaps I should've used a different thread title....

At first I kind of liked him for his simple talk ...no BS but the more I knew I didn't like him. I think he has kind of a Napoleon complex and if you didn't agree w/him you're out. He worked hard and then gave up....what a guy....and then some story about his daughter...I don't know if true or not...so he quit. If I had worked on his campaign I would have been really pissed (can I say that here) and would not support the 'little dictator' again...never.

 

[mick504]

I'm voting for McCain. Never Obama....color doesn't matter...and gender doesn't matter, but I can't take all the socialist/liberal views and weird friends/associates he has. I grew up in the midwest...my parents voted Dem; but they were the conservative dems ...the old types that cared about unions and people, and a typical marriage (man and women). If that offends someone...I don't care...get over it.

We are in Iraq to contain Iran and stabilize the Middle East region. The more insurgents we can kill there the better off the whole world will be - it's that simple. We will always have some kind of position or presence there just like we do in Germany or Japan or Italy.

I'm not paying taxes to "contain" and "stabilize" any other country or rebuild THEIR infrastructure. I want MY borders protected and MY infrastructure maintained. And that's NOT the excuse this administration gave to invade a sovereign country anyway. Wasn't it WMD's? Amazing how that has changed over the course of this farce.

 

[Buster]

The Best of the worst of course; McCain!

I voted for Bush - mainly because he seemed to stand for a "better cause" and I was ready for something different.

I voted for Kerry - because he promised support for 'Stem Cell Research' - and recognized the importance of Scientific Advancments. Whereas Bush adamantly opposed it.

So the last election for me stood wholly on the grounds of Science and the support or denial thereof.

This election has no guarantees - as one (or the other) may say something to the effect of pushing Brain Research as the Highest Priority - or something else along the lines of huge significance.

Right now - A leader displaying international relationships in a superior style, and one who has the backing of the most prominent economic and military experts (who non-biasly and objectively support his proposals) seems like the better pick.
