South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster issued a statewide proclamation designating Sunday as Stand for the Flag Super Bowl Sunday. http://www.thestate.com/news/politics-government/state-politics/article197541014.html#storylink=cpy -- And the worst thing about is this guy claims the words to the Anthem is about protecting a young nation. The war of 1812 was about shipping rights , and we invaded Canada. --- Bender: Well, everybody, I just saved a turtle. What have you done with your lives? ... Copied to Clipboard!

This isnt anything mandatory, its a voluntary sign of respect for the country. So long as you have the freedom not to stand, I dont have a single issue with this proclamation.

The proclamation itself is just virtue signalling. It's not something that can be enforced, and is just a Governor posturing trying to bring a dead narrative back into the spotlight. Presumably because he's up for reelection this year and has nothing else to flaunt in a campaign. --- Aeris dies if she takes more damage than her current HP - Panthera http://signavatar.com/26999_s.png ...

He's asking people to voluntarily engage in something as a sign of respect to the country. Not really sure why you have an issue with that.

first time seahawks went to the superbowl in 06 I had a super bowl party. Right as the national anthem started I stood up to go to the bathroom. A couple of my friends/guests stood up with me so I thought it was a race for the bathroom so I like sprinted out the room. Everyone was a bit confused and the other guys stayed standing. I came back kind of WTF why are you guys standing and it was because I stood for the anthem they felt they had to as well.

Like I said before the war 1812 was about maritime rights not saving the nation. In fact the only people fighting for freedom in the war of 1812 were the Canada who the US invaded in the Slaves who the songs celebrates their deaths . Let's start there.

Forcing people to participate in patriotic dedications to the state sounds like some communist stuff to me.
We all know making this into an apparent show of disrespect to the troops and the country is just another for way those in power use to disrupt and discredit protests towards authority whether it be the police or the president and current government. --- http://i.imgur.com/hslUvRN.jpg When I sin I sin real good. ...
