[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]After 9/11 hundreds of thousands of working class Americans joined the military to defend their nation. Thankfully, since that time there has not been another foreign attack on U.S. soil. Homeland Security has worked and we owe the people who have kept us safe a debt of gratitude.
 
The people to whom we owe no debt of gratitude are the ultra wealthy citizens of the U.S. While the working class have bled and died to keep this country safe the ultra wealthy have continued sending their children to elite universities and they have refused to pay for the wars other people's children have fought.
 
If patriotic working class and poor Americans can sacrifice their sons and daughters for this country the ultra wealthy citizens of this country could a least dig a little bit deeper into their pockets and pay for our wars in real time and with real money. As a result of not paying for our wars in real time the nation debt has grown to $15 trillion and payment has been deferred to another generation.
 
This means the soldiers who fought in these wars and their children will have to pay the bulk of the debt and the wealthy who lived comfortably during the course of the wars will continue to sacrifice little into the future as well. [/quote]

Only don't hold your hand over your heart in silence during the national anthem in memory of those who have sacrificed for our country like folks out there in Kansas do during ball games, etc.  That is just creepy.[/quote]

Many Americans cover their hearts during the playing of the national anthem at public events as a demonstration of their love of country, appreciation of the good lives we enjoy and appreciation for those who have served, suffered and died to keep us free.

It's unfortunate that you believe the practice of covering ones' heart during the playing of the national anthem is "creepy". Nevertheless, I'm glad you have the rights to feel that way and to speak freely. [/quote]
