Saying the Pledge and putting your hand on your heart are not gestures that indicate patriotism, IMHO. They're easily done.
A true measure of one's patriotism is the degree to which one respects the Constitution. While it's likely that Obama is no better than any of the people in that picture who do have their hands on their hearts, it's also pretty damn likely that they're no more patriotic than he is, seeing how at least one of them has voted for stuff that amounts to wiping your butt with the Constitution.
The Devil can cite Scripture for his own purpose, the saying goes. Well, the biggest Statist would-be tyrant can say the Pledge of Allegiance, put a flag pin on their lapel, and wrap themselves in the flag. (Witness the picture as evidence.)
External gestures have precisely zilch to do with patriotism, especially when they're done at no cost to the person performing them. Just hanging Old Glory out in front of your house doesn't make you a patriot, respecting and defending the Constitution does.
Barack Hussein Obama's photo (that's his real name)
Yes, we get it. Obama sounds almost like Osama, hence they must be the same. And Hussein is a raghead name, ergo he's a Muslim, regardless of what Christian church he professes to belong. Thanks for pointing that out to us unenlightened folk.
Of all the reasons why I won't vote for the guy, his name is probably the least important one.
Good heavens, man. "The future of our beloved freedoms"? Where was your indignation when they nullified the Fourth Amendment in the name of the War on Drugs? Where was it when they nullified the Fifth through Eighth Amendments in the name of the War on Terror?
But one of the Presidential contenders won't put his hand on his heart while saying the Pledge, and you're all over that...and his un-American name!
If you want to know why the future is looking grim for our freedoms, there's your answer right there.
