Patriotism from AP article this morning:

Now, if someone doesn't place his or her hand over their hearts maybe it means that they don't know it's the LAW not just tradition:
"During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. -- United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171"
But here we are NOT talking about just your average everday citizen but a SITTING UNITED STATES SENATOR who ought to know better
RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!
This should make anyone wonder?
This is just plain silly stupid!
My gosh if one of his aides didn't kick him in the shins some time ago and read him the riot act at least his wife should have?
And this man wants to be MY PRESIDENT?
Hogwash squared and cubed!
