Libs and Conservatives. You are all arguing in the wrong box. Wake up an stop being a media led dumb ass. While your arguing about dumb crap. The one worlders are setting us up for a fall. Go beyond the trivial. Rockefeller and Zbignu Brizinski non patriot Globalist have been grooming Obama since the 70’s to be a world dictator. Look up the research or lose your country. He’s not for the Dem’s he’s not for the Lib’s he’s not for America it is a set up. He’s not even doing jack for the African American. He’s setting us up for a fall to merge us with a global community. Tea-Party his socialist [Hitleresque] ideology out. Or you will be facing a change none of us want.

The REAL disrespect here is the singing. That was the worst singing of the National Anthem that I have ever heard. Why doesn’t anyone sing it normally anymore? It’s a disgrace.

The reason President Obama is not saluting in the photo is because at the moment the photo in question was taken, the US Air Force band was playing “Hail to the Chief” — so, if Obama had saluted at that moment, he would have been saluting himself!

The CSPAN video is proof. Skip to the 11:30 mark and you’ll see that what I’m saying is correct.

By the way, the photo in question was taken at Arlington National Cemetery on 25 May 2009, not at Ft. Hood, Texas, on 11 November 2009, as some claim.

Jon, how hopeless and silly it is to Bush-bash when we’re 25% through Obama’s first term. Besides, this isn’t about Bush at all. It’s a question why Obama bows to kings and emperors, but doesn’t put his hand over his heart when our national anthem is played. Why are the customs of these foreign nation so important to him, but the custom of our own is not worth his effort to follow?

Jon’s right. He’s the troll. But he didn’t need to tell anyone – the tasteless all caps with the exclamation point ‘DEAD!’ on Reagan’s face gave it away. Stay classy.

Yeah, you know I’ve been on Huffington Post and the liberals who couldn’t argue the issues would call the conservative posters “trolls”. So apperantly, people like you are on both sides of the isle. You can’t argue the issue so you call someone a troll. You didn’t even go out and get your own name.
P.S. the guy I was responding to was talking about kicking peoples brains out in some fantasy street war he imagines will happen at some point in America’s future. But I’m the troll.

Steel toes, who are you kidding, we both know you’ll be in stilettos. And I’ll know exactly what color and size because if you’ve been down through there as much as I have you’d know I’m gonna watch your feet the whole time. I know everything your doing by how you move your feet, keep the head down, eyes on the feet and peice you up baby. Of course it will seem like amazing luck to you but it’s not. It’s experience.
I myself will be sporting light running shoes, probably nike slip ons. Helps keep the step quick and light.
Good night and good luck with your dialysis.

Jon, you are hilarious. Nice tough guy pose in the pic. You are completely inferior to me in every way. I am confident of that fact. I don’t have to persuade you or anyone else of that. 40 years old and you come across as a teenager. I pray for our meeting in the streets, I’ll be the one with your brain matter on my steel toes. Toodles pinko!
