Why does Sarah Palin hate America....?

[Xylus]

We can't impose our religion on anybody.

Good, please don't.

[Mr Dio]

Yes, standing at attention when out of uniform is the proper code of conduct and a salute while in uniform. At least it was when I was in the Corps.
Semper Fi!!

Semper Fi Joe!

Yeah, DRob was an O in the Navy so thumbs along the trouser seams while out of uniform was correct.

[RandomGuy]

I know. It's ridiculous.

Are people on the right going to be incensed?

What will Hannity say?

OMG, she must be a muslim!

It seems to me the most likely scenario is that the Anthem was about to be played, but hasn't started yet. Some people placed their hand over their heart before others. People next to each other also tend to react as others.

Or.. it could be a photo-shop of two pictures a few moments apart.

Or it could be that she didn't put her hand over her heart and it's not that big of a ing deal.

Impossible.

That many military personnel not saluting?

Impossible. They train to do so at the start anyway. Not before.

Maybe she was lost in thought reminiscing about the Pledge, those Founding Fathers the wrote the Pledge, and how if the the phrase "Under God" was good enough for them, well then dammit, it's good enough for her.

Sarah Palin, answering a 2006 policy questionnaire:

Q: Are you offended by the phrase "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance? Why or why not?

PALIN: Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its good enough for me and I’ll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance

Fun facts: when John McCain's grandfather graduated from the Naval Academy in 1906, the Pledge of Allegiance, as first written, was only fourteen years old. It would not be made the official pledge of the United States until 1942, six years after John McCain himself was born.

When John McCain was born, the words "Under God" were not in the Pledge. They would not appear there until 1954, during McCain's senior year of high school.

I like the generic appeal to the "Founding Fathers" when she doesn't know what she is talking about.

Mr. Peabody:

Remember my earlier statement about the myth of the wall of separation between church and state which was dreamed up by Justice Black in Everson v. Board of Education in 1947. Mythmaking comes from both sides.

That's right. I prove you wrong on one lie you propagate, then you come up with another.

Unimpeachable source please....
