Democrats refusing to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance! In this case, though, the context actually improves the story. This takes place in Albany, where the New York state Senate remains locked in a power struggle in an evenly divided chamber.

True, he was a Christian socialist.

So because he wrote the Pledge as a Christian socialist, that makes the "Pledge" a "Pledge" for central government that is all powerful in order to have wealth redistributionist policies enacted, even thought there is nothing in the "Pledge" implying so ?

I'm a conservative and I pledge "Prosperity, Love and Peace for all Mankind" Oh' No. I'm a moonbat !!!

I don't say the Pledge of Allegiance

Where do you stand on burning the flag, desecrating national monuments, and spitting on soldiers?

As long as the flag is your own and doing so doesn’t risk injury to others, who am I to stand in your way of making an a$$ of yourself? While I am opposed to the creation of monuments to the state, they are public property and are subject to the same laws as private property. Finally, spitting on another person can be construed as assault, and should be prosecuted as such. Of course I don’t sympathize with such people, as a soldier and somebody whose father experienced the same thing.

Thank you for the honest response, and even more so for your service to our country.


All consider this a monument to our heroic soldiers; not a monument to the state.

Well, almost all.
