That is what my recruit division commander told our division at boot camp graduation 3 years ago. No American, in their right mind, should allow someone who does not have enough American pride to do something as simple as putting their hand over their heart. We as Americans are known for our pride in country. How can Barack Obama call himself American when he shows so little pride in what we are all about? We enjoy freedoms that others do not enjoy. It is a disgrace to my comrades in arms and I to watch someone even have the audacity to deliberately disrespect the very thing we fight for daily. This war is inevitable. Mr. Bush had every right to start this war and we have every right to finish it. We can not back down after a deliberate act of terrorism on our own land. It is disgraceful that anyone would even choose to do so. Before you tell us "right wing nuts" to open our minds, maybe you should talk to some of us soldiers who have seen our brothers and sisters killed, fighting for the very thing that Barack Obama will not even recognized. Maybe you should open your own mind and heart to the things that are very real in this country. Above all, country.

Barack Obama doesnt "refuse" to put his hand over his heart during the pledge of allegiance, he chooses to occasionally not put his hand over his heart during the national anthem. There is a difference there. So many of you typical right wing nuts cant wait to bash liberals or independants that you only listen to and believe what you want. Open your minds! I'm the first to admit that pretty much anyone we get to choose from to vote in as our next president has flaws. Unfortunately, so many are blinded by what they think are important for the country (candidates religion, stance on abortion, gay marriage, putting hand over heart during national anthem) that they dont actually focus on what REALLY affects us all (healthcare, economy, national debt). I pray that people in the future become more interested in SEEKING out the facts about what they hear and read instead of making up their minds once they see something they agree with.
