I am an American Veteran... and I put my life into harms way... and I put my life on the line to defend your right to sing the National Anthem any F-ing way you want... and to burn the flag if you want... and to complain about the Government if you want... BUT... I did NOT put my life on the line so these F-ing politicians could pass legislation to restrict these rights...

Dear Republican: Thank you for this legislation. I cannot stress enough how much I was waiting for someone who gets paid by people like me to waste time and money on bills like this instead of trying to do anything useful. I can only hope that you continue to waste our time and money and in a most public fashion so that hopefully someone will replace you and actually do some good for once.

We don't need legislation to solve this problem. It's a matter of respect and humility. It's not a blues song and doesn't need all the drama. It really should be sung like a National Anthem--a recognizeable tune that reflects our heritage.

Ana is a dolt.
