Che represents different things to different groups of people and its not necessarly bad. It does **** me off that they hang there Cuban flag in what I tought was an American election. I am mexican American and as one only hold an alligence to the Stars and Stripes of the American flag, it pissess me off that allot of these new citizens don't loose there ties to the old country and wave its flag around. Don't get me wrong I love my culture, the food and Some customs but the old country is dead to me.

when I was younger I never stood or put my hand over my heart for the pledge of allegience in school or whatever, and never did it for the national anthem either.
doesn't make me any worse off...
he probably has his reasons, or never really did it so it's not a habit for him.
how many people here honestly do it whenever the anthem is played?

1.) he makes it a point to not put his hand over his heart. he's making a statement

sorry, but just because somebody doesn't put their hand over their heart does not mean they don't love it whole heartedly...
as much as I love the country, I dislike what it's government has done to it and other countries, and where I live, sure I do love it, but do I love what it has become? not really...
our freedoms become less and less, while our government tries to control what we do and what we enjoy and how we enjoy it. Our economy is sliding, our healthcare is ******* rediculous, to the rest of the world we're viewed as douchebags, and honestly we're just taking it up the *** and accepting it.
simply put, he's not afraid to do something different... if he feels as others do, it's his right to not do it
maybe thats just me though
