Issue:
Recently news programs have shown a clip of Gov. Bill Richardson, Sen. Clinton, and Sen. Obama. During the playing of the national anthem, Clinton and Richardson had place their hands over their hearts, however, Sen. Obama did not his hands were down in front of him.
Belief:
It is the feeling of many americans if not most that when the national anthem is playing, all rise and place one's hand over their heart in honor of country and those who fought for our freedom
DO YOUR RESEARCH PEOPLE! THIS IS RIDICULOUS! He's not Muslim! He has put his hand over his heart and actually led the Pledge of Allegiance while he's been Senator.
Yeah. Pledging to all 57 states.

Airport Screeners will no longer be allowed to profile certain people Absolutely No Profiling!!! They must conduct random searchers of 80 year old woman, little kids, 85year old Congressmen with metal hips,and Medal Of Honor winner and former Governor Joe Foss. Think about it the next time you or a loved on gets on a plane! But leave Muslim Males between the ages of 17 and 40 alone lest we be guilty of profiling! History has a strange way of repeating itself, Wouldnt you say? And now for the award winning act of stupidity of all times the people want to elect to the most powerful position on the face of the planet The President Of The United States Of America!!! A MUSLIM MALE EXTREMIST BETWEEN THE AGE OF 17 and 40!!! Something for the Obamabots to "think" about: OBAMA – LIAR, LIAR: 1.) Selma Got Me Born - LIAR, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965. (Google 'Obama Selma' for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)2.) Father Was A Goat Herder - LIAR, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - LIAR, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom - LIAR, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya. It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Obama, is Odinga's follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone. Check out the following link for verification of that....and for more.http://biz.yahoo.com/ibd/080115/iss ues.html?.v=1Obama's cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get Sharia muslim law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers have burned Christians' homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter. Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one wants to know the truth. 5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian - LIAR, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5am according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn't allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.6.) My Name is African Swahili - LIAR, your name is Arabic and 'Baraka' (from which Barack came) means 'blessed' in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.Barack Hussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya, his father's family was mainly Arabs. Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro). From....and for more....go to.....http://www.arcadeathome.com/newsb oy.phtml?Barack_Hussein_ Obama_-_Arab-American,_only_6.25%25_African7.) I Never Practiced Islam - LIAR, you practiced it daily at school, where you were registered as a Muslim and kept that faith for 31 years,until your wife made you change, so you could run for office.4-3-08 Article "Obama was 'quite religious in islam'" http://www.wnd.com/index. php?fa=PAGE.vie....) My School In Indonesia Was Christian - LIAR, you were registered as Muslim there and got in trouble in Koranic Studies for making faces (check your own book).February 28, 2008. Kristoff from the New York Times a year ago:Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset."This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says "Obama's narrative is being altered, enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling facts."9.) I Was Fluent In Indonesian - LIAR, not one teacher says you could speak the language.10.) Because I Lived In Indonesia, I Have More Foreign Experience - LIAR, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn't even speak the language. What did you learn, how to study the Koran and watch cartoons.11.) I Am Stronger On Foreign Affairs - LIAR, except for Africa (surprise) and the Middle East (bigger surprise), you have never been anywhere else on the planet and thus have NO experience with our closest allies. 'Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores on September 11,2001?Were people from all over the world, mostly Americans, not brutally murdered that day, in downtown Manhattan , across the Potomac from our nation's capitol and in a field in Pennsylvania ?Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible,burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?And I'm supposed to care that a copy of the Koran was 'desecrated' when an over worked American soldier kicked it or got it wet?...Well, I don't. I don't care at all. I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11.I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start caring about the Holy Bible, the mere possession of which is a crime in Saudi Arabia I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for chopping off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Iraq come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques.I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide .I'll care when the American media stops pretending that their First Amendment liberties are somehow derived from international law instead of the United States Constitution's Bill of Rights.In the meantime, when I hear a story about a brave marine roughing up an Iraqi terrorist to obtain information, know this: I don't care.When I see a fuzzy photo of a pile of naked Iraqi prisoners who have been humiliated in what amounts to a college-hazing incident, rest assured: I don't care.When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take it to the bank:I don't care..When I hear that a prisoner, who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat,and fed 'special' food that is paid for by my tax dollars, is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts: I don't care.And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran.' Well, Jimmy Crack Corn and-you guessed it-I don't care !!If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your E-mail friends.Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behavior!If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great Country! And may I add:'Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world. But, the Marines don't have that problem' --Ronald Reagan. I have another quote that I would like to add AND.......I hope you forward all this.'If we ever forget that we're One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.' Also by. Ronald Reagan One last thought for the day:In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the Anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America, he said: 'A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many wantin...and how many want out.'The last thing, by the way, that we should do is to elect a muslim as President of the United States, someone who claims to love America yet,WILL NOT salute the flag, WILL NOT pledge allegiance to our flag, and sat in a church listening to a 'pastor' that HATES America! Are you Freakin' kidding me?Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: 1. Jesus Christ 2. The American G. I. One died for your soul, the other for your freedom. YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET BOTH OF THEM. AMEN!

If he does't like the United States now, what he could do is change the United States.If he is not patriotic enough,then change the United States so he could be proud of and can be patriotic about the country.Blacks who were slaves in the 17th century couldn't be patriostic until the country change .Patriotism right now doesn't matter.But patriotism after he serves as president deffinitely matter.
He is muslim. He cannot show respect for our anthem. He does not show respect for our anthem he isn't good enough to be the president.
He is obviously patriotic. He spent 8 years serving in the Illinois state legislature and is now a US Senator running for President. That's a lot of life energy donated to public service.
I don't think we should try to read so hard into something so inane. He was standing respectfully, not burning our flag during the anthem.
You think that just because someone holds public office that that proves their character or that they are a patriot? Jess Louise I have a star to sell you.
Remember that presidents do not salute the flag. Regardless, I think people may be looking at this the wrong way - I've seen Barack place his hand over heart many times during anthems. It may have just been a stupid mistake, and I do not believe it actually means all that people assume.
It's more than a lack of respect when a man that's asking to lead this country will not even salute the very Flag he represents.I too am disturbed at the direction this country is going in,as are a lot of people I have spoken to.It is considered appropriate to put your hand over your heart during the National Anthem.It shows you care about our country,and the people who have died to protect us.Religous faith does not ask you to go against your governments traditions."Render unto Ceasers,what is Ceasers".
Render unto Ceasar that which is Ceasers is a good quote but it doesn't apply to every religion.
please keep in mind that some religions prohibit the pledge of allegiance and other observances of the flag as being akin to idolatry. Do you want a person to choose between following their faith and being good at a dog an pony show just so that you can feel that they are a good patriot? Patriotism and religion should both be allowed to be a personal matter.
You are very correct. But when you run for office your life becomes the people's to question anything and everything you do. Religion and politics don't mix or don't make good bed partners. In my opinion.
I agree that they should both be allowed to be a personal matter. And it really annoys me that they constantly ask the candidates question's about their religious beliefs because that really should be irrelevant if we are to believe in separation of church and state. That being said I don't think someone who personally thinks patriotism is a dog and pony show should be running for President. Thats like rooting for the Eagles all year getting tickets to watch them in the Super Bowl and then wearing your favorite Stealers jersey to the big game. Not to say that I wouldn't vote for you Randy.
Yeah! Randy H. for President.... :-) I think I need local experience first though. If you move to Vancouver Washington, let me know, I think I will need a campaign manager to keep me in line.
I've had to salute and I've also done the civilian thing... every male in my family has served in the military in some capacity back five generations. I do not feel slighted by this, am voting for Obama.
I thought most people just stand. I put my hand over my heart during the pledge of allegiance because it's a pledge. Usually if you are at a baseball game people will put their hand over their heart if they were wearing a hat that they took off because it is awkward to put the hat anywhere else. I consider myself pretty patriotic but I don't see a problem here. He obviously loves the country, he wants to be the President of it.
