A group of high school students attending a conservative leadership conference in Washington, D.C. said they were ordered by a security guard to stop singing the national anthem during a June 25 visit to the Lincoln Memorial.

They should have brought prayer rugs..then they’d be left alone....

[beethovenfan]

Did anybody challenge this moron?

[steelyourfaith]

This is intolerable.

I can’t tell you what I think those students should have done, but I can sure as sam hell think it.

They resumed singing..., and I hope it was twice as loud.

There are times when I’m glad I live on the Left coast. I’m not sure how long would last without taking some idiot park officer out to the wood shed.

Someone should have taken his name or videotaped him and then filed on him with their Congressman and Senator. Better yet, send the video to Beck, Savage, Rush, Malkin, Drudge, Breitbart, et al.

Exposure is all these Liberal feces fear.

This just makes me want to sing it till I am forcefully removed. You can’t silence the people. We only get louder.

[DManA]

We are being taunted, goaded, being dared to do something.

[Domandred]

Kids should have sang louder. Made a real issue. That’s something I would have risked arrest for.

[DManA]

Content vapid.

[Mojave]

They resumed singing..., and I hope it was twice as loud.

A Tea Party visit could be interesting.

Oh yeh? They’ll put you in the Singing Ward with the other, most dangerous criminals. See you there.

[Mojave]

It’s okay to sing praises to 0bama at the Lincoln Memorial.

You could have avoided a lot of the questions asked in this thread by simply posting more information from the article:
Instead of doing as they were instructed, Gassman said the students resumed the song – an impromptu form of civil disobedience.
“If their idea of civil disobedience is singing the national anthem, then so be it,” Gassman said. “Let them disobey.”
YAF posted video reportedly shot just after the alleged encounter with the security officer. It shows students loudly singing the anthem.

Less provocative and more informative.

[Kirkwood]

What about humming the National Anthem? Is that content neutral?

[william clark]

All I could think of after reading this was:

“Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here! This is the War Room!”

[rwilson99]

Reasonable people just need to challenge these guys and get arrested... and put it on YouTube.

B.O., More Damaging Than BP

Can't wait for Les Kinsolving's next question to butt-boy Gibbs.

To conservatives, liberals demonstrate a dislike of country and Christianity because they disrupt the liberal's desire for equality. The US cannot be better than other countries nor Christianity more acclaimed than other religions; that would mean inequalities. So liberals denigrate the country and Christianity. For those who value freedom more than equality, it is fruitless to have a political argument with a liberal.
