After 495 posts (and it being September 14th coincidentally), I'm just going to say it.

 

I wish Fort McHenry would have fallen.

I find rising for the anthem and God bless America to be a nuisance and I'm usually just thinking about what kind of beer Im going to buy after my next piss

[Blarg]

I really don't like God Bless America. Never have and wish it would be retired.

I take off my hat off and place my hand on my heart with my hat at my shoulder like the Code requires.  I've been to a lot of places in the world and am so happy I was born American.  I don't see why it's so hard to show respect to our country and all those that died to give us the opportunity to live in such a great place.

And I am a social liberal and vote democrat.  

America is not without its faults, but it's better than 99% of the other options.

@Glen will this do as an explanation for what it means to disrespect the flag/or what it represents?

[Adam]

I don't know I guess I don't find much meaning in ritual. But I don't like negative attention so I've always stood.

BTW / where the hell is the flag at angel stadium? Everyone always just looks at the big screen.

I do too, but mostly because I don't like to draw attention to myself, and because I don't have much to complain about.

That's a question for John Lackey.

The flags are just to the left of the big screen above the seats in Right Center Field.

Ok, so outside of the military who are apparently required, why does anyone do it?  Why do they stop beer and food sales at the ballpark?  What's the purpose of any of it?  

 

 

To irritate the fuck out of me

Ok, so at least there's a good reason.

I wonder if people will be pissed if Terence Crutcher's family doesn't stand for the anthem.

It's military law. I assume civilians just follow the military's lead. 

When I was at the Rams game last month some dude came running up to me demanding that I tell the guy in front of me to take his hat off for God Bless America. I just gave him a blank stare and sipped my beer. He eventually yelled at the guy himself. Some people get so worked up over the most unimportant stuff.

This is great.  So it's your fault you didn't do a background check on the guy in the seat in front of you. You can hear the guy thinking why isn't that guy behind him telling him to take his hat off.

You do realize that Thomas Jefferson was a slave owner?

That's what makes it awesome.
