Primitives Threatened by National Anthem at Sports Event
« on: March 05, 2011, 10:01:13 PM »
You would think this wouldn't be a surprise that people would choose to show respect during the National Anthem. But the civilized rules of society are weird and foreign to a primitive. This is a textbook of an American hating, maggot infested, liberal ass.

The land of the free...
    So, I went to a hockey game, which could seem odd for the simple fact that I live in LA, but something else happened, just before the game that sent chills.
As with any professional sporting event, there is the time before the first pitch, puck, punt or plunge where some adorable or fittingly famous person steps up to sing the National Anthem.

It was quiet, eerily so. I could barely even hear a chair squeak in the cavernous echo chamber that is Staples Center. Everyone stood, having sprung up at the mention of the Anthem, as if it were a knee jerk reaction, almost involuntary. I stood, slowly, surveying the crowd.

The little girl vibrato-ed her way through the Anthem at a snails pace, giving me more gloriously grotesque time to clench my fists and shudder.

Why are we standing? For what are we showing respect? What does the flag mean - to you, to me, to anyone in that crowd? It doesn't really have to mean anything. It's a program, a system. We stand and stare blankly upwards, at a strategically placed flag, mumbling the words to ourselves, eying the nachos on the floor, fidgeting with our keys. We become empty. And to ponder the inverse of this phenomenon, what are we full of? I'm not trying to be cheeky, I'd really like to know - what goes on in the hearts and minds whenever something nationalistic or patriotic is mentioned or performed? As a lyricist, I have an almost incessant need to dissect and analyze the lyrics to any song. If one were to listen to the lyrics of our National Anthem, really listen to them, not just through our ears but into our minds...would we still stare blankly - would it make us feel uncomfortable at the mention of a Utopian land of the free? A hearkening back to the days when our forefathers fought for the ideals we either don't have any more or are too far removed to protect and enjoy.

It made me wildly uncomfortable. If we, the people, if only for a moment, pondered the stark contrast between the lives we lead today, and the foundations of this country, we could start that revolution so desperately needed to effect change. Break the corporate chains, and do something.

Do something. March 14th on skype: rooftoprevolutionary. Check out rooftoprevolutionaries.blogspot.com

That's been floated around over there in the past, definitely predating March 1st.

No Frank, he's an asshole!!! :loser:. That flag is more than a piece of cloth and the national anthem is more than a melody! Is starts at the country's humble beginings, fighting for the rights and freedoms, to the great country we have today!!! If this jackass doesn't like it, he can go to another country!! Hell I will help the ****er pack!!

The response made even less sense (if that was even possible) than the OP.

A flag, The National Anthem, The Pledge of Allegiance and a Christian prayer should be required at every sporting event...if for no other reason than to ward off moonbats.

Yeah, that would work.  Instead of decreasing government, lets kill off a bunch of companies.    :banghead:

I gagged a bit on the saying of The Pledge this weekend. It was odd.
   
I was at a swim meet this weekend. Normally, we have the Star Spangled Banner to start things off. I generally stand and don't sing (I never sing anything -- anywhere for any reason). This time, however, they started with the Pledge of Allegiance. It had been years since I recited it, so I joined the folks in saying it.

When we go to the final words of "with liberty and justice for all", I stopped cold. I couldn't say that out loud because it's a lie.

My state and other states are working hard to erode liberty and justice for targeted groups. Indiana is outlawing all civil unions and allowing no state benefits (normally granted for married couples) for those in civil unions. Indiana is working on Arizona-style anti-immigrant legislation, including some of the "you look like you could be an illegal get out of the car" police stuff. Anti-union bills everywhere. Indiana is forcing doctors who are consulting with patients considering an abortion to read a bunch of lies about the health dangers of abortion, including the well-known lies about breast cancer.

"Liberty and justice for all"? Hardly. For most people most of the time, but that's as far as I'll go. I'd really like to get back to liberty and justice for all. It's what I believe in.
