I stand up yes but the hand over the heart and the singing out loud not so much.
In Canada we don't have to wave a million flags to get attention. Oh and if its a
foreign delegation type of event I stand up for that countries anthem too out of
respect. This gushing patriotism nonsense is much overdone by our friend to the
south.

Patriotism is not ascendant in the United States. The country is breaking into mutually hostile tribes divided by both culture and creed. Imo your understanding of the US is outdated. You remember the Old America. It's gone and will never be restored.

Maybe Obama will respect his new flag more than he respects the US Flag ??

Obama is only protecting his piece making package.

Our state flag is rather tame...





Singing along with the anthem! Singing it out loud?! WAAAAAY too patriotic!

That's not a horrible looking design, but it does seem to be a tad stark. Too bad the picture couldn't either be larger or perhaps have some more colour in the background (the white is what makes it seem so stark). I'm honestly not bashing your flag, just giving my honest opinion.:)

I agree with you. It is rather dull.

Obama the appeaser bending down to Iranian State terrorism, plus trying to appease Argentina by siding with the Argies against Britain on the Falklands' issue, how worse can a U.S. president be? During a meeting of American countries in Cartagena, Colombia, Obama mistranslated "Falklands" into "Maldives," why did he have to translate at all? To give the Argies a good reason to bitch around, this is against Great Britain? And what about giving freaky Argentina a special treatment as a "relevant" NATO ally? Whenever the Argentine military have their hands full of blood, and are still doing pretty terrible things to their population. Then, Obama told Iran, "the clock is ticking," yet now he appeases the Iranians. How is Israel supposed to feel about it? Which side Barak "Hussein" Obama is?

Sounds like you prefer bloody war to peaceful negotiation. You must be a Republican, perhaps an evangelical christian too. Do dinosaurs live in your neck of the woods?

I actually quite like the flag but if the symbol were larger it would give it more flair.

All the dinosaurs are dead silly.
They ran out of food and dug deep holes looking for more and then fell into the holes and that's why we find their bones under ground now.

I do not mean to idealize Israel; yet they are about the only true democracy in the Middle East. I ought to need to expose what I have been doing research on for years, this is the connection between (underground) Argentine State terrorism and what Iran really is, State terrorism as well. Actually, Iranian State terrorism has killed far more people than the neo-Nazi Argie military did in the Sevneties, like three times more. So I see Israel as a nation that has a right to defend itself against another nation, Iran, intent in wiping Israel out of earth. Yet it seems that President Obama is taking sides with Iran, what for? Because he does not want the United States to be a hegemonic nation any longer? The problem is, any other hegemonic nation would be a lot tougher disregarding human rights than the United States. You might argue things about hypocrisy and so on, correct, but that would be another take.
