    The way I see it is that no one hates this country more than GW Bush. In order to send thousands of brave US soldiers off to their deaths so he could be remembered as a war president while lining the pockets of the rich with even more money, he would have to truly hate America with every bone in his body.

    I can say I've never put my hand over my heart during the national anthem. Neither does the rest of my family, or any of my friends that I have gone to events where the national anthem was played. We stand at attention but we do not place our hands on our hearts. I guess that makes a lot of western Pennsylvania anti-American.

    Btw it seems to be a generational thing in this area, the older citizens do it the younger ones do not. Just take your damn hat off, now that would piss me off.

    You're talking about flag pins and hands over hearts and then have the nerve to say "Look at the big picture?" Are you shitting me? You can't be for real. Or else your sense of irony is severely lacking.

    I listen to a couple "Star Spangled Banners" a week because of my job. I stand up, look towards the flag, and keep my hands clasped either in front of me or behind my back. Does that mean I hate America? No, it doesn't.

    No. I'm comparing the posture of one American to another. Are both, the guy that happens to be taking a leak... and not drunk at all... in the restroom at the Dodgers Game and Barack Obama unpatriotic America haters because they are not saluting the flag in the manner you expect them to?
    And what about the person who took the video? Shouldn't they have been facing the Flag... instead of running their digital recorder?
