Careful WB. If you're going to be that assertive, get your facts right.

Our rights were originally declared as "inalienable" rights. Later, at the Constitutional Convention, the writers (many of whom were also our "founding fathers") very clearly avoided linking God and Country. That all came later... and was not their intention.

The 21 gun salute has nothing to do with the numerics of 1776 except by coincidence. The British Navy established 'gun salutes' long before we declared independence. The number of guns reflects the rank of the person being saluted.

What follows is an unofficial, but popular script for folding the flag. It does not appear in the Flag Code and would appear to be in violation of military guidelines, in violation of the Establishment Clause. The Establishment Clause requires that expression not create the reasonable impression that the government is sponsoring, endorsing, or inhibiting religion generally, or favoring or disfavoring a particular religion.

If you intend to yell, please try to at least get your facts straight.
