Obama, though probably born in Hawaii, is essentially a foreigner, with ideas foreign to American heritage. His aristocratic bearing is an affront to the American character.
Like the tradition Americas bow to no one until Christ's return.
Yes, that is the tradition. Free men kneel only before God, who gave them their Liberty.
A republic is a government deriving its authority from the people, and the people derive their liberty from God. Therefore, we neither bow nor kneel before any man.
One of my favorite scenes from history is the funeral of King Edward VII. The representatives of all the other countries were dressed in full militaria. The American representative, former president Theodore Roosevelt, representing a republic, wore simple evening dress, a suit and tie, with no adornments. That’s republican.
