This is where I differ from the other musketeers! If you are patriotic and truly love this country then you would show respect for the anthem by outwardly showing that respect with placing your hand over your heart, especially if you are in public office and running for President.
I will not defend or excuse Obama on just standing there with his hands clasp together in front of him. Most body language experts would have a field day on what his body language was conveying during the singing of the anthem at that event, IMO.
I am all for fairness and truth and that is why I have been defending Obama; however, I will not blindly defend him when he shows a lack of respect to our flag and country.

Brother, I show my patriotism every time I make a point of not cheating on my taxes, especially when I am self employed. I also show my patriotism when I go vote. I don't need to sign some dumb song and put my hand over my heart while repeating the pledge to know that I am patriotic. This is just my opinion though. Hope that doesn't get me kicked out of the Three Muskateers Club though. It's nice to belong to something again.

I am beginning to wonder what happened to the fourth musketeer?  In all seriousness, it is my opinion that the Star Spangled Banner isn't a "dumb song" and being patriotic is more than lip service.
As an American, you have every right to express your opinion and I would defend your right and did defend your right while serving in the military. A presidential contender should be held to a higher standard than Joe Schmo Public and Obama's refusal to honor the flag and country can not be excused, Rico.

Dude that is one of the most ridiculous comments I have ever read by someone. I dont have a problem showing my patriotism to this country. I love to take my hat off, put my hand over my chest, and sing a song about the greatest country in the world of which I am a citizen.
If you think its a dumb song, then maybe this isnt the country for you!!!!

Re: FOX Lies!! Barack Obama Pastor Wright
The Star Spangled Banner is as dumb as Oh I Want to See Him. A more appropriate theme would be God Bless America or America the Beautiful.
I'm not that hip on saluting flag. I do out of respect for others. I have a problem saying the pledge of allegience to an american flag made in a thrid world country.
