Could you possibly have found an older issue to bring up?
Possibly, but anti-Americanism is timeless, and refusing to honor the flag against the law.
When someone puts a spine up on Ebay, CHEAP!
President Reagan’s been shot!!!
PUMA’s Did watch this video........http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kh_ipqk6dj4
Now he put on his flag pin to get the stupid white people vote in the general election.
Where on earth is refusing to honor the flag against the law?
‘zactly.
1. Hell Freezes over
2. Chuck Schumer pays his taxes and full rent.
3. Rachael Madow Blows Olberdork on the air(or vice versa)
4. RNC will run this ad.
“Where on earth is refusing to honor the flag against the law?”
It isn’t. Same as hating your country isn’t against the law.
It’s called respecting your country’s national anthem and if you don’t want to do it, say so. Don’t lie about it.
Then again, he is a leftist. Makes perfect sense that he didn’t.
This pic should be made to symbolize this election, as it does for many of us here (except those focused on nothing more than the latest gaffe or an “Um” by one of the two RATty clowns.) You’re asking a pertinent question.
Never mind the hand on the heart — where is the proof that 0bama satisfies all legal requirements to be a candidate for POTUS? Why is it that every time this is brought up, the question is ignored?
Proper protocol calls for one’s hand over one’s heart during the pledge of allegiance, not the national anthem. One only needs to stand during the national anthem.
I don't put my hand over my heart when the Star Spangled Banner plays either. I stand and if I wore a hat, I would take it off (I don't but I would.) There are enough substantive issues to debate in this election without worrying over this.
TRUE patriotism is recognizing that working until May to pay your taxes isn’t enough. It should be July.
There are enough substantive issues to debate in this election without worrying over this.

True but this issue and discounting the flag pin as unimportant becomes an issue when a candidate for POTUS is involved. Consider these two seemingly mild issues and add Rev. Wright rantings over a 20 year period and a Wright philosophy that could not have possibly been missed over 20 years and then add in campaign associates and others close to him with radical views advising him and add so many other negatives and you can’t miss the picture being drawn that Obama doesn’t have much respect for tradition and the symbols and customs of our nation. It’s as if he sees these American traditions of respect for flag and country as just a bunch of garbage he has to put up with while running for POTUS. That’s the way it comes across to me. It seems to me that he is somewhat ashamed being an American and showing respect to the symbols of our nation. It doesn’t seem to be in his character.
