Hey guys,
All I know is this: I tear up anytime I am at an event where everyone rises to listen to the Star Spangled Banner. It is a respect and honor thing to me, it is powerful and makes me so proud to be an American despite the politics (Everyone in WA DC is corrupt, democratic or republican) it is all a game in my eyes. Its the "goodness" in folks, the honor and respect that I love. Call me an idealist or a "bleeding heart" I care not.
I always say, If you don't like it, get the hell out. France will take ya!:7
