Beyonce Faked It, Seems Appropriate
Jan 22, 2013 Political
There is no doubt that Beyonce is a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice. She is a gifted singer who has entertained millions of people so it was not a bad choice for her to sing the National Anthem at the second Immaculation of Barack Obama. The song is a tough one but there is no doubt that Beyonce can sing it. I heard her rendition and it was very nicely done.
However, it has been revealed that Beyonce, for some unknown reason, decided to use her prerecorded version of the National Anthem and lip synch the song. The music for these events is prerecorded in case it cannot be played live and there have been times in the past where recorded music was used such as during bad weather.
No one remembers the National Anthem being anything other than live.
Perhaps Beyonce was not feeling well or was unable to hit the notes on the cold day. Perhaps the wind was making it difficult for her or perhaps she was having trouble hearing the band. Maybe she was worried she could not remember the words (though Obama had a teleprompter she could have used). Who knows? The reality is, she is the singer and she felt it was necessary to lip synch to her recorded version.
People are making a big deal about this though I doubt anyone far enough away noticed. Hell, many were high so they probably missed the song completely while they were looking for Twinkies (and none were to be found!).
I think it is perfectly appropriate for Beyonce to have faked the song. She was faking the song at an event for a person who has been faking that he knows what he is doing for years. Fake song for fake leader…
If only we could see Obama’s lips moving with no words coming out…
That would be music to my ears…
Cave canem!
Never surrender, never submit.

Wouldn’t A True Patriot Spare Three Minutes?
Oct 18, 2008 Political
There have been accusations that Barack Obama is unpatriotic and that he cares little about the country. He was not wearing a Flag pin until it became an issue and he did not place his hand over his heart when respect for the flag was called for. Obama wants to bring our troops home in defeat but we are not supposed to question his patriotism. I don’t think the wearing of a Flag pin makes one a patriot. Obama has one and he is no patriot. Failure to render proper respect shows a lack of knowledge or lack of willingness, neither of which is acceptable. And yes, I am questioning his patriotism and I don’t care if he likes it or not.
Wouldn’t a true patriot spare three minutes for the National Anthem? I just want to know if a true patriot would do something unpatriotic because it would cost about three minutes?
You see, the Obama campaign canceled the singing of the National Anthem at an event in New Hampshire because they needed to make room for another speaker.
[Londonderry senior Zach] Bencal, who sings the anthem for a number of school events and is actively involved in local community theatre [sic], had been contacted by the Obama campaign to sing the anthem. He agreed to do so, then was told later in the evening the anthem had been scratched from the program. Bencal said he was told by the campaign the decision was a simple programming change to make room for another speaker. Union Leader
How important could that person have been that a song which lasts about three minutes had to be scratched to make room? Did this important speaker only talk for three minutes or did this person speak for much longer than that? Why would the addition of another speaker cancel the singing of our National Anthem?
There was no reason whatsoever for canceling the singing of our National Anthem at this event and the very act of doing so demonstrates that Obama and his campaign have little respect for this country or its anthem. The three minutes it would have taken to sing the song is too much of an inconvenience for Obama and his band of unpatriotic cretins.
There is just no logical reason to do this and I can only conclude that Obama is unpatriotic. I welcome any other views that might be able to better explain it because it seems to me that they could have cut the campaign music and kept the Anthem, if time was really a concern.
Everyday on military posts throughout the world American men and women in uniform stop to pay respect to the flag when it is raised in the morning and when it is lowered in the evening. The songs played vary by service but this is done, twice a day, each and every day.
Why is it the man who wants to lead the troops as Commander in Chief can’t find three minutes to honor the Flag they fight for and are carried under when they make the ultimate sacrifice?
Obama is not ready to lead.

Obama Wants to Be President?
Nov 7, 2007 Political
There has been a photo circulating of a ceremony where the National Anthem was played and B. Hussein Obama did not place his hand over his heart (and very few actually faced the flag). He said the picture irritated him and that it was dirty tricks. He said that the pledge was not recited, the Anthem was played (true):
“My grandfather taught me how to say the Pledge of Allegiance when I was 2,” Obama said, his annoyance obvious. “During the Pledge of Allegiance you put your hand over your heart. During the national anthem you sing.” Breitbart
Obama said that people got their facts wrong. Perhaps if someone said that he did not recite the pledge then he has a point. If, as in the picture I received, it was stated that he did not put his hand over his heart for the Anthem then they do not have their facts wrong. What is wrong is what Obama’s grandfather taught him. During the National Anthem you stand, face the flag (or music if there is no flag) and put your hand over your heart. This is from the US Flag Code:
§ 171. Conduct during playing National Anthem
During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. Persons in uniform should render the military salute at the first note of the anthem and retain this position until the last note. When the flag is not displayed, those present should face toward the music and act in the same manner they would if the flag were displayed there. The American Legion
So if anyone should ask, tell them Obama has his facts wrong. Remember, this guy wants to be president.
