Will some one PLEASE tell the idiots in the media (and many other lefties) that the so-called NAZI salute was mandatory 2000 years ago when the ROMAN legionaires raised their RIGHT hands and intoned, “HAIL CAESAR.”
Watch the movie GLADIATOR as the gladiators in unison raised their RIGHT hands in a (NAZI?) salute and cried out,
“Caesar, we who are about to die salute you!”
In school, those who knew the answer raised their RIGHT hands in a (NAZI?) salute to get teacher’s attention, meaning “ME, ME, call on ME.’
I am, what us called “OLD”, but I have an early memory of pledging allegiance to the “Flag of the ...” with our right hands raised like Roman gladiators. A switch to RIGHT hand over the heart came, I believe during WWII.

LOL, I recall seeing an article on some leftie website where they posted a vintage picture of American school children saluting our flag with the "Hitler salute" and how traumatized they all were.

Of course it had to be some cruel right-winger who gently corrected them that, no - we weren't raising a bunch of little Hitler Youth kids - that was just the way some performed the salute in those days.

Liberalism is a mental disorder!
