I like pro football almost as much as I like college football. They are the only sports besides golf that I watch on TV. This however, is not helping my enthusiasm for the Super Bowl.
Since 9/11/01 it has become quite the event to have military color guards present the colors and be present during the singing of the National Anthem at sporting events of all kinds, and at Super Bowl XLIII this will also take place. So to say I was surprised when I received this email from a distraught Marine Mom would be an understatement:
“My youngest Marine called me this morning. In the course of the conversation he made mention of being part of the Color Guard for the ceremonies at the Super Bowl. He has been part of other Color Guards at other games and has been able to enjoy the entire game after presenting the Colors. HOWEVER, this will not be the case this time. The 12 man/women color guard will be presenting the Colors and then will be escorted out of the stadium and therefore not allowed to see the game.
The Age of Obama is here. I would think that the military should decline the honor of presenting the colors at the game.
I wonder if this guy knows ?

I’ve been teasing my friends with such as: “A new era of bigger government is upon us, let me see your papers. Your papers are not in order. Come with me.”
Maybe it’s not so funny.
Ye of little faith! Obama Christ has something better in store for those Marines, which our tiny intellects cannot comprehend. Verily, believing in The One’s benevolence despite a lack of evidence is the surest sign of a perfect faith.
In the Name of The Godfather, the son Barack, the Holy Spirit of Jeremiah Wright and the Holy Consort Michelle, amen.
Even Instapundit has picked up on the story. I expect something will happen if they are smart about it.
We need to rework some hymns:
“Barack of Ages”
“On Christ the Solid Barack I Stand”
It shouldn’t be surprising to anyone that with the return of the Clintonites that with them would return the seeming innate hatred of the military in which the leftists cloak themselves.
It is to my disgust that I learned that Obama chose to attend the Record Industry Ball and other such weenie filled celebrity balls rather than attend the Salute to Heroes ball. Why in the world would anyone choose to hang out with Kanye West, that blatherer of all things Kanye, rather than Medal of Honor winners?
Wait, scratch that question. I know why.
