    A couple thoughts:

    1) It was the national anthem, not the pledge of allegiance there fool.

    2) With that singing, I would have probably put my hands over my ears instead of my heart.

    3) I can't remember the last time I put my hand over my heart when standing for the national anthem. You act like he was sitting down talking to someone what it was being sung.

    And here he is leading the pledge of allegiance in the Senate (with his hand over his heart):

    We get it Spin, you don't like the guy and wouldn't vote for him if he was the only candidate running. At least act like an adult and bring up current events or relevant things.

    Haha you are a funny one. You can't be serious :) Have you checked out his posting history? I consider myself fairly open minded and i'll pretty much listen to whatever anyone has to say, even if i don't agree with them. I've tried so hard to see things from his point of view, and no matter how hard i try, I can't seem to get my head that far up his ass.

    I've come to the conclussion that you have a massive man crush on Senator Obama. He is all that fills your thoughts and words, and now that you know you can't have him...you're taking your anger out in the forms of slander. Not cool. I'd like to boink Scarlett Johannson, but you don't see me making endless threads about her in the "Horse Whisperer" do you?

    thats a good thing.
  • Anyone who can ever be described as one who "refuses the pledge of allegance" is, in a small way, my personal hero.

    Spinbrett, where is your thread about Obama not wearing a flag pin? You know, the symbol that is so sacred that isn't supposed to touch the ground, be used on t-shirts, or anything along those lines.

    Who the fuck was singing? OMG! How could you not laugh at her?
    What a tool.

    Sorry Obama lovers, he looks like a jack ass, running for president and not holding his hand on his chest.
    You freaking learn that in kindergarden for christ sake!



    He does not have a prayer to win. Not a prayer

    Of all the reasons not to like Obama, I don't understand how this would be anyone's deal breaker.

    refused?? it looks like he didn't do it

    refusing would mean he was asked and said no

    if you continue to post nonsense, at least use proper grammar

    :rolleyes:

    Thanks. That made me chuckle. I almost peed myself, actually.

    Call me wrong, but I've always thought the proper way to salute was to stand at attention for the national anthem, and put your hand over your heart (as if you are pledging something, afterall) for the Pledge.

    yeah i've seen it done both ways. some of the older crowd will put their hands of their heart, i think most people just stand at attention though.

    I refuse to too!

    wtf, pledging allegiance to a FLAG??? Sorry that's not how I roll.
  • It's like talking points on here sometimes.

    My 4th grade teacher was a pacifist, She didnt put her hand over her heart either.

    It's laughable what people will dig up to make a big deal.

    but this isnt some kindergarten teacher, this is someone that wants to be president. Obama also refuses to wear the USA flag pin. Why want to run a country you dont even like?

    Hehe...so in other words the founding fathers should have worn union jack pins? And, as I assume that you're not wearing a USA flag pin right now, does that mean you don't like this country?

    Your logic here is ridiculous.

    So not wearing a flag pin = not liking a country? With logic like that, who needs common sense?

    I don't wear a flag pin, have a yellow ribbon on my car, or a flag in front of my house, that doesn't mean I don't like the country any less than you do?

    People really crack me up.

    Do you have a fucking flag pin on right now? When was the last time you saw ANY of the presidential candidates wearing a fucking flag pin on their lapel? Let me clue you in on something. SEAN HANNITY IS AN IDIOT.

    Off with his head for not performing a useless gesture!

    Maybe next time he puts his hand on his heart, he'll solve all the worlds real problems.

    I say cut the bullshit and get to the point. It's just a silly song.

    The rest of them have their hands on their hearts only because they are brown nosing their way into power.
  • ledveddermanledvedderman Posts: 7,761
    Spinbrett, please address the issue of the American flag being on any form of clothing, pin or sticker, is against it's very ideals.

    So, why be down on a guy who is actually respecting the code of the American flag?
  • if the biggest problem conservatives can come up with has to do with lapel pins and hand placement, they are clearly at the bottom of the barrell of things to complain about. and it's hilarious.

    Stick to your hillary bashing all you like, but Obama is about to be elected your president and there is nothing you can do about it.

    even if your statement was made with any truth or liability it shouldn't matter. Its not like he is disrespecting anyone or his country. he has the freedom to do as he pleases and I think it makes a statement...if your statement was true.

    Isn't the right to do what you want with your hands part of that "freedom" and "liberty" thing we're supposedly fighting for?

    Funny how freedom is not so important when you dislike someone.

    It's that whole "do whatever you want, as long as i approve of it" mentality that the current administration has been peddling for years.
