Is Rick Perry A Muslim?

Compare and contrast.

You know, I never put my had over my heart during the National Anthem. I never did it growing up, and for the life of me I don't recall anyone else doing it either. It was certainly the thing to do during the Pledge of Allegiance but not the Anthem.

I'm not sure when all that changed.

How bout now, do you put your hand on your heart during the Anthem, do you take your cap off and look around the audience as i do and try to spot the veterans who stand at attention during the playing of our anthem?

I suppose it was when 36 USC 301 and predecessor laws were passed, lawbreaker.

No, he's a secessionist, which is actually something to worry about.

Clearly, Perry's problem did not stem from his lack of patriotism, but rather his lack of a heart.

Rick Perry is not a muslim, but I think maybe Obama is.

The difference is Obama is black.

LL is like the media...Usually wrong. We can see that Perry has not held his hand up (yet) and neither the gentleman to his left. But, let's go ahead and rush to judgement like Americans usually do.

We always did it at my school, everyone I know always has and always does, proudly!

Once again I agree with LL. ( that is twice this year )
I thought you stood at attention and faced the flag during the National Anthem and placed your hand over your heart during the pledge.
Maybe some protocol expert will enlighten us.
Also, as an honorably discharged veteran, I am entitled to salute during the anthem, even though I am not in uniform.

I am happy if no cell phones are in use during our Anthem.

Lets get something straight. There will never, and has never been an issue whether or not Perry is Pro-America. There has been with Obama since day one. Find something more clever to stimulate your liberal fan base.

EUREKA! The research paid off in a big way and here is what I located.

Here in Texas the national anthem of Mexico is taking over. The border has moved north. The migration has been a success. The U.S. needs to return title to Mexico.

It will always be difficult for Perry, usually at least one of his thumbs is up his arse. As opposed to Clinton who's hand was always up a staffers skirt. Just for clarification I didn't and won't vote for Obama and I really don't care for any of the other options. This slate of canidates is truly dissapointing.

I've never put my hand over my heart for the national anthem.

The anthem was always played before movies at base theaters when I was in the military. We had to stand at attention for the anthem and I don't recall anyone placing their hand over their heart.

I'd like to invite Obama to Jasper for the weekend.

WTH, Barry. You never put your hand over your heart for our flag and national anthem? Are you a muslim? Been living under a rock?

I see you not putting your hand over your heart, it makes me stand taller and be prouder that I do. America's has always had a certain percentage of citizens who won't fight, won't do their best, won't salute, won't pledge allegiance, don't appreciate what we have here, etc. and it's not based on their economic or racial situation. I am PROUD enough to do all these things thank God there are more citizens like me than the other.

If Perry wins in 2012 I think we should secede!! You know Texas still has that option.

No, Perry isn't a Muslim - he's a Methodist dyed hair jerk.

Perry is just anti poor and hates education.

If Rick Perry is a Muslim, so is the guy to his left.

I believe your momma and dad taught you better than that!

Perry is a Muslim, a Nigger, a Socialist, a Communist, and wants to take all our guns away from us.

It's like these little disrespectful HS football teams and coaches. Players slap the guy in front of them on the shoulder at the end of the National Anthem, and the Coaches and Parents allow this disrespect to take place. These boys are watching too much NFL when the camera shows a star player not put his hand over his heart during the National Anthem.
