Given Mr. Obama's way of showing sincerity in patriotism (by not saluting, and by announcing why he won't wear a flag pin), one could wonder how far he would get by demonstrating "true" love in marriage by NOT holding the door for Mrs. O., and by announcing why he shall no longer wear a wedding ring.<BR/><BR/>-30-Ralph Thayerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05408950745180065613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14818100.post-71533327692354505652007-10-23T12:12:00.000-05:002007-10-23T12:12:00.000-05:00Putting your hand over your heart during the Natio...Putting your hand over your heart during the National Anthem does not prove true patriotism. Just like opening the door for a woman does not prove true chivalry. But that doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. You are running for the highest office in the country. You should show respect during the National Anthem. It's hard to believe that half of Dodger Stadium has more respect for than Obama. However, this should not disqualify him from being POTUS... his idiocy in foreign policy should do that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14818100.post-73098743548167565902007-10-23T11:56:00.000-05:002007-10-23T11:56:00.000-05:00Blind zealots to any cause will blow little things...Blind zealots to any cause will blow little things out of proportion to turn the attention back on themselves.
