In Reply to: Question for Democrats...will you explain to me why (sm) - To all Obama supporters
or believes that what someone actually does for their country, and speaks about, fights for (I read this a long time ago so don't remember his exact words) in their country is truly what patriotic is - not a pin that anyone can put on. I took this to mean that just because you wear a pin does not mean they you love America, any terrorist or evil person can go out and get the pin and wear it but that doesn't show their true meaning.
Again, it was a while ago that this all started up and I don't remember the exact words but that is what I felt he was getting at.
As to the hand over his heart for the anthem, etc., he has said that he was taught by his grandfather that you sing the anthem and put your hand over your heart during the pledge. I too was taught this and never put my had over my heard for the anthem, but rather sing it - much to the dismay of those around me :)
