If that is the case, it should have been decided beforehand that the pledge of alegience would be recited. I have never been at a public event where this was done. National Anthem ...yes
For Murphy to stand up and request it was blatant grandstanding and wrapping himself in the flag to make points. The audience is not supposed to be part of the debate. Murphy made them so
What time and place might be more appropriate to pledge allegiance to the "republic for which it stands" than at an event in which citizens of the republic are debating to win the right to represent other citizens in the republic's legislature?
What aspects of this event and the apparently near unanimous particiapation make you think that this was not appropriate?
Might this not be covered under the First Amendment?
Ohh like standing up in the middle of a theatre and starting singing?
Saying the pledge at the beginning of a debate, (a debate which is part of the voting process at the heart of our republic) is the same as just standing up in the middle of a theater and singing????????????
This is your modern liberal! This is what they think and they are running the country right now!
Remember this when you vote on Tuesday and vote their butts OUT!
