Well, don't feel badly about it. I guess if you decided to start chatting on your cell phone during that two minutes, that might be disrespectful on the order of what Mr. Obama has done, IMO. |

Well, there you have it. To most people, it's apparently no big deal. To me, it's quite a big deal. Then again, I'm sure that those who think it's no big deal, haven't worn a uniform, buried comrades, or know what it is to serve.k... It's no big deal... How many of you who think it's no big deal, owned or flew an American flag before 9/11? How many of you ran out and bought an American flag on 9/12 or after? It's no longer the fad it was, I guess... Patriotism is something like last year's shoe style or something, I guess. I'm glad that when I was serving, I kept the ideals and principles of my country in mind. Most of its citizenry cares for nothing but entertaining themselves to death, and don't give a sh!t about anything but themselves. |

Heh - it's funny you say that. A couple years ago I was working as a temp in a scratchyoureyesout-boring office, and true to form no one spoke to me, as I was a temp, and I'd completely forgotten 11am.. So I was photocopying away, until someone eventually tapped me on the shoulder and told me to STFU. Judging by the rest of the silence they only told me about 1m30 seconds in... It was probably one of the most embarassing moments of my life so far. |

Sarah, I'll take a crack at this. . . For me, it's a pledge of allegiance, not just to a cloth flag, but for what it represents. And to me, it represents in large part the ONE thing we have in common, all 300 million of us. One huge, often dysfunctional family, but nonetheless one family. We can argue, fight, always try to improve, beat each other over the head (so to speak), but the act of placing a hand over the heart shows that we are united, and we care about our country and for each other. It's my respect for everyone else ("for which it stands"), "one nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all" - the often unattainable but always pursued goal. And then we can get back to beating up on each other. . . |

It's a big deal to me. Obama is unfit for office. He's a Socialist, for one thing. He's naive. And typical of many blacks in office today, he's not a patriot. |

Oh no - what I meant was just that I find it hard to think about something for two minutes (ok, I'm not sure if this is making me look better!), like when someone says, "Don't think about candles." Don't get me wrong; I do think about them, just perhaps not as and when I should. |

I swear to God, it makes me want to go home and tear up my certificates of honorable discharge, my medals, my awards, my letters of appreciation, any old uniforms I may have kept... I want to shove all of it into the furnace and toss a match in after it. That's what the citizenry of this country makes me feel like. "Support the troops, support the troops," and Congress standing on the steps of the Capitol singing, "God Bless America," and all that other sh!t that was only a show for getting votes and because it would be a nice photo op. With every passing year, I feel like serving this nation was foolish, and that no one appreciates one bit of it, and no one gives a f'ck. "It's no big deal." "It's nitpicking." No, it f'cking ISN'T!

I thought someone Pwned on this before - now that I think about it I received an email a good couple of months ago w/the photo. Anyway, could be Hillary stirring up trouble. What I've been learning lately about Obama leaves me in a state of shock. I can't believe I might support Hillary over him (thank God there is a Republican - lots of them in fact - I can vote for). |

Frank, I've yet to hear of anyone who would have voted for him before, but for whom this has changed their mind. (But then, I haven't read through the whole thread yet.) Do you know anyone personally who is willing to say that they were thinking of voting for him, but this episode has changed their mind? |

Probably those that are still on the fence. Then again, they are illegal and can't vote anyway.

Yup, Mr. O. Hussein can do plenty of little things for the Hillary campaign. I'm sure she'll keep track. You would think this might have occured to him as he decided not to acknowledge the flag as those around him were. Ah, he's young yet. Give him a few years. |
