First day of school and pledge of allegiance

[gtopa1]

I pledge allegiance to the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands. One Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

so is your allegiance to god or the USA?

a pledge of allegiance to the US should not include ANY religious reference

Nonsense; you want to change it there's a ready made competitor: ALLAHU AKBAR!!!

Go on; go full Venezuela!!!!

Nobody should be forced to participate in The Pledge of Allegiance if they do not wish to do so.

First day of school in Maryland. 4th period, each class, the school determines for the recitation for the Pledge of Allegiance. My 11th grade son is in is assigned class. He is the only one to stand up and recite. One of the slackers turns and says, “are we still doing this?”

I’d like to thank the Armed Forces, past and present, who made it possible for these malcontents and ingrates (and their parents and families) to sit idle during the Pledge of Allegiance. To the appeasing Big Education..... Go **** Yourself.

I grew up with a lot of Catholic kids who used to tell me how the nuns would beat them with rulers and make them kneel in painful positions and all kinds of stuff. Something seriously wrong here, I think they ought to hot wire a neon transformer to each seat and turn it on for the kids that think it too much bother to stand and respect the flag then go to the parent's house and beat the crap out of the old man.

This isn't free choice, this is a weakened nation, soft, unprepared, undeserving and unfit to remain free much longer.

The nuns were actually amazing when I was a kid; except for ONE sadistic malignant scumbag. I think she was a Democrat wannabe. But the others I met; absolutely wonderful women. And kneeling was a problem?? Nah.

Define "wish"?

The nuns are the reason my penmanship is so stunning.

Like at all. Forcing people to take *any pledge* that they would rather not makes the whole process hollow. At least in my opinion.

Pledge whines, - what are we in the 1900s still

Quibbling over a pledge written by a socialist minster. Rich.

Doesn’t really make it a pledge

Do you know the history of the pledge?

It was originally written by Francis Bellamy - Wikipedia without the words "under goD". You guys woulda hated him by the way. He was a socialist who believed in "the rights of working people and the equal distribution of economic resources, which he believed was inherent in the teachings of Jesus" as well as a leader in the public education movement and the nationalization movement.

"Under god" was added in the 1950s as pretty much pure McCarthyism in response to the "red scare".

So you hate pretty much everything about the pledge's history, you just like the fact that it stirs your jingoism.

Another thought:

For people who claim to be fans of freedom and personal responsibility you sure don't seem to understand what either one of those is.

I don't like to pledge allegiance to the flag of a country with so many queers, welfare queens, Illegals and Moon Bats.

ISIS approves this message

It is a pledge

If it has to be repeated every day, it is not much of a pledge

Repetition is necessary to make sure propaganda is securely lodged in young minds.

So pledging allegience to the US flag is now propaganda to the left? What is it with you people?

If it is forced, it is nothing but propaganda

An authentic pledge is voluntary and sincere

 

[rightwinger]

The pledge should be to the United States of America, its people, it’s values and its Constitution

It should not be to a flag

None of that's actully true anymore.

For one thing, mostly everybody is calling our Republic "Are Democracy" all of a sudden. I turned on the tv the other day ,Tucker Carleson's show was on and as soon as the tv tuned in, he said something about 'are Democracy' the way they all do. Gosh.

As far as being a nation under God, virtue in America sucks. Not only that, the trend has been to worship the state. The religion of statism rules the day.

And liberty and justice for all? Pfft. Don't even get me started.

It's blind flag worship now. And patroitism itself has been systematically redifined. Now it's just an empty word. It used to mean standing up and saying no to a tyrant. No anymore. Now it means long live the tyrant, yay.

*BINGO* the "pledge of allegiance" is nothing more than an expression of worship of the state.

"I pledge allegiance to the state and all the corrupt, thieving politicians and bureaucrats that inhabit it, one nation, under the iron fist of plutocracy and fascism with slavery and oppression for all"

I guess the real question is why liberals(and their kids) seem to be the ones most often refusing to say they pledge?

Maybe they are unwilling to recite forced propaganda on command

Maybe they're too dumb and drug-addled to remember anything.

It is funny how those that care about GOD are the biggest assholes to people of color, refugees. Homeless, muslims etc....didnt your God teach you to be kind, accepting, humble and most importantly not to back an ***** grabber and a cheater ?

So you think being religious means you should be docile pushovers who let their country be taken right out from under their feet by invaders?

As to backing ***** grabbers and cheaters, yeah, that is right in John 12:15. The only problem was that all of the democratic alternative choices you offered us were even bigger pussies and cheaters!

Just remember, we are all DEPLORABLE, uneducated, knuckle-dragging superstitious inbreds, so please do not expect too much from us.
