Well you have to admit for a country that claims that it is supporting peace it is strange that our national anthem focuses on rockets and bombs used to kill people.

"And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion,
A home and a country should leave us no more!
Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution."

Sure makes me all giddy and stuff.

When people don't want to address the issues, they focus on minutia like wearing American flag pins made in China.

I am coming up on 30 years of service to my country and I have never wore a Chinese pin to work. I guess some would call me unpatriotic.

BTW I would like to see a citation that this is what Senator Obama actually said. Not saying that there lies and misrepresentations about Senator Obama on the Internet....OK I am saying that. If you can't produce a citation, I guess it didn't happen. If you have a citation, let's see it.
