America, Respect, and Patriotism

Immature Adults Protest Children Singing God Bless the U.S.A.

Yet these same childish parents could let children be taught to sing chants for Obama in school, treating him as if he were some kind of god, (which has been done) and nary a peep of protest. 

 Bravo for the parents who encouraged patriotism in their children. CD

To be perfectly blunt – these ‘adults’ that protested a kindergarten rally to sing a patriotic song are the reason our country has a failing economy. Apparently they had nothing better to do than to go to a park to yell at 5-year-olds.

You must be kidding me.

Remember a few weeks ago when a New York City principal banned children from singing God Bless the U.S.A. during a ceremony because she deemed the lyrics to be offensive?

Well, in the aftermath, a group of parents organized a protest at a nearby playground in which their kindergartners would sing the patriotic song, and even attracted Rep. Bob Turner (R – N.Y.).

“I thought it would be a great idea,” Rep. Turner said. “The kids were a delight.”

So this seems like a positive thing to do: Organize a peaceful protest away from the school in which children would be waving American flags and singing the song they were banned from singing. It would bring attention to the issue without finger pointing, bickering, and name-calling.

Unfortunately for the children involved (and anyone who has respect for America), several tasteless children adults were “shouting down the kids as they were singing,” Rep. Turner told Fox News Radio.

“You Republicans come go to a Republican area and do that, we don’t do that here,” one of the hecklers said. “This is ridiculous, this is sad. This is so crazy. This is sad.”

A Turner staffer can be heard off camera asking the protesters to stop – and to “let the kids sing.”

“The kids don’t even know what they’re singing,” the unidentified protester replied. “They got something you tell them to say. It’s ridiculous. It’s sad, sad, sad. You all are going to burn in hell. You all burn in hell. Shame on you. Shame on you.”

At one point, a tattooed protester cursed.

“You got a right to make noise, I got a right to make noise,” the protester said.”

If you are not proud to live in your country, what are you proud of?

I am baffled when people are not outwardly proud to live in America. We may bicker at each other, and we have the right to, but this is about respect for the youth of America. These parents organized a peaceful protest away from the school, and a bunch of rude children adults immaturely came down to protest the singing of God Bless the U.S.A.

To be perfectly blunt – these ‘adults’ that protested a kindergarten rally to sing a patriotic song are the reason our country has a failing economy. Apparently they had nothing better to do than to go to a park to yell at 5-year-olds.
