This speaks for itself but has me ready to go to war.  Am I a right-wing nut for being so outraged over this or has the government gone totally f*****g nuts?  Jack booted gummint thugs quell an impromptu rendition of the frigging National Anthem by school children?!!!!  Had I been there this certainly would have been my "line in the sand."  Check it out:


Washington, DC - A group of high school students visiting DC got more then they bargained for when they stopped at a national monument last month. The students were the winners of a nationwide patriotic essay contest.
It all happened at the Jefferson Memorial, a monument to one of our founding fathers. The award-winning group of high school students became so filled with patriotic pride, they spontaneously burst into singing the National Anthem.
“It was an awesome feeling. You just thought, I am so blessed to be a part of this great country,” said Kirsten Winston, student. However, that feeling did not last long.
“We got to almost the very end and we were at the last stanza when the National Park Service asked us to stop,” said Kirsten.
A Park Ranger asked them to stop because according to a federal regulation, any time a group of 26 people or more gathers at a national monument and attracts an audience, it is considered a demonstration, which requires a permit.
The students were the winners of the VFW sponsored essay contest, ironically entitled: What Price Freedom?
“I wish I could have been there. I'd have sung with them,” said Cmdr. John Gwizdak, Veteran of Foreign Wars. The Commander in Chief of the 2.7 million member VFW was so outraged he demanded an apology.
“It sends the chills up and down your spine and all of a sudden, here we go, putting them down, making them feel ashamed of being a part of this country,” said Gwizdak.
Late Wednesday, the apology came and the National Park Service blamed a new employee.
“I believe this was an employee who cared deeply about the memorial and this is how they thought they needed to behave. But this is a mistake we won't make again,” said Robert Fudge, National Park Service.
The National Park Service would not get into the specifics of the disciplinary action taken, but did say that employee has been reprimanded and won’t be stopping anyone from singing the National Anthem again

JUST THINK, THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WHO STILL BELIEVE THIS IS A FREE COUNTRY.  WHEN WE WILL WAKE UP?

I guess any semblance of "patriotism" must be beaten down at every opportunity.  Nothing allowed but bowing down to the State, Comrade.

   Yeah, I've made mistakes at work.  The trouble is, when government bureacRATS make mistakes, some of them are in positions to cause real problems.  Some of us get upset over the L. Horiuchi's, the Reno/HRT's, and others.  Sorry for being so sensitive.  

The liberal press did not report this at all.  I heard it first on Rush Limbaugh.  Then it was e-mailed to me by a patriotic Veteran who was outraged, as he realized this is what he fought for.
