The US is a great place to be anti-American

...

It reminds me of a passage from King's Salem's Lot.

Quote:

An important quote in the book is where the priest, Father Callahan comes face to face with the vampire Barlow. Callahan picks up a cross that begins to glow. Barlow challenges the priest to throw down the cross and fight him faith to faith, good against evil. The priest is afraid to throw down the cross, the cross loses its glow, and the vampire forces the priest to drink his blood and then says:

"The cross -the bread and wine - the confessional - only symbols. Without faith the cross is only wood, the bread baked wheat, the wine sour grapes. If you had cast the cross away, you should have beaten me another night. In a way, I had hoped it might be so. It has been long since I had met a opponent of any real worth. The boy makes ten of you, false priest."

The flag is only a symbol, and you are a weakling for not realizing that.

2 reason's not to place you hand over your heart as a citizen during the anthem.

1. Too cool (which means they are one of those **** that believes non-conformity proves just how cool they are.)

2. They aren't patriotic.

So, yeah, it's really no wonder lefties continually have their patriotism questioned. If they are patriotic, guess that just means they are an ****.

So, you must be a number 1 then? Too cool to pay your respect to the national anthem. That's fine, this thread is all about how America is a great place to be if you hate America.

I've never once failed to place my hand over my heart during the anthem. But I certainly wouldn't think down upon someone who does.

Just a symbol; symbols are meaningless, it's what is behind them that counts.

If someone doesn't respect the symbol, what would lead you to believe they would respect what's behind the symbol? If you spit on the symbol, you effectively spit on what's behind it and what it represents.

You can try to be as semantic as you wish, doesn't change the facts.

You state this because you, like Foofie, are unable to discern the difference between a symbol and the thing it represents. Others are able to discern the difference.

A failure on your part does not constitute a problem on someone else's part, Mcg.

So, are you saying that one not use or believe in symbols that represent something?

Some foreign people see their flag as nothing more then a piece of cloth and that is fine for them. Some Americans see their flag as nothing more then a piece of cloth as well, and I question that.

... and about face marches.
