There are thousands of instances of presidents, past and present, whom have put their hands over their hearts for the national anthem, and or pledge of allegiance, and then went into their office, and signed into law, a document that DECIMATED the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights. Why is no one upset about the Patriot Act? Why is no one upset that the borders are wide open after 911? Why is no one upset about our President, not a candidate, wanting to make ILLEGALS, LEGAL?
Is this MORE patriotic than saluting a flag or putting one's hand over ones heart during the pledge of allegiance? The Patriot Act, refusal to seal borders, and making illegals, legal, seems far more treasonous than these flag and anthem infringements. JMO of course, and I am sure I will be called a Bush bash er, but these are REAL facts that are AFFECTING us NOW, and our national security. Sheesish, none of these guys are even president yet, and probably WON'T be. I wore that flag on my shoulder for 20 years, and both of my sons also. One is still wearing it in Baghdad for his third combat tour, and no he ain't no pencil pusher. Where is every one's out rage at these issues I have brought up again. Why so much over saluting the flag or the pledge of allegiance. What about our Constitution, and Bill of Rights, and our national security?
