Another Liberal Hero...

Nobody's demanding he feel a sense of patriotism. It's just Goddamn common courtesy and respect to stand during the anthem.

If I go to a hockey game and the Avs are playing a Canadian team I'd stand during the Canadian anthem just like I would the US national anthem.

It's kind of a new concept. Not everyone's heard of it yet.

Wow, does that actually work? I'm going about it all wrong.

Fvck him and fvck the fat bitch at the Donkey game.
I have laid into people at events for not standing or taking off a hat etc.
I have had it up to my gills with people disrespecting our flag, anthem and country.
Countless people have sacrificed all they had and then some to give us the life where we can speak freely and attend a sporting event.
Show some respect you classless corksuckers or get the fvck out of MY country!

I will be happy to show you the door.



Yea, it pisses me off.
Big time.

(sorry to vent, but this crap really rubs a nerve.)

I support to the death his refusal to summit to pressure to do what he doesn't feel within, I just don't relate to his void of sentiment. I don't have to.

Pretty Much.

I will agree with demanded patriotism being hollow but see nothing wrong with a certain demand of respect for something that is held in reverance.
Like the USA, the Flag, the National Anthem, veterans,marriage, parents, children and our elders to name a few.
I think this lack of respect of a few basic things in our society is a core causative factor for the shitpot we are in today.
Libs seem to gravitate around things that lack in respect.

^ I couldn't agree more.

This.

I don't "demand" that someone be patriotic. Feel free to act like a spoiled teenager. But I don't see anything wrong with ridiculing those that lack respect for the very nation that ALLOWS them to not be patriotic either. Call them out and make them feel uncomfortable. Try not standing for the Chinese National Anthem if your in China, asshats.

This guy need to think of those disabled veterans that can no longer stand up to protect his right of not standing up.

All the more reason for us to support the contrast.
