I don't say the Pledge of Allegiance. It was created by a socialist who wanted to condition people into believing the federal government is all powerful and that states who refused its power grabs had no right to secede. Pledge of Allegiance.

I watched this yesterday. obamanation’s failure to put his hand on his heart for the flag (until it became politically necessary), makes more sense now when I see it done as a matter of course (meanwhile giggling and laughing at their cleverness........ obviously, these NY thugs are much like the Chicago thugs... who do not feel like they are not a part of America so they are tearing down what we have always known and creating a third world country.....

"an insult to the intelligence of New Yorkers"

Sorry, but if more New Yorkers HAD intelligence there wouldn't be so many Democratic legislators.

I know it’s a little different, but our family got a LOT of stares from people at our recent town annual parade, when we stood for each and every one of the flags that went by (bands, cars, trucks, floats, horses, etc.) We stood for most of the three hour parade, because of the flags. Every time we did, others around us and across the street did the same. So many veterans marching in the parade smiled over at my children, as they carried their large flags with such pride. I told my children to watch their faces — that sometimes, that is the only thanks they ever get for the sacrifices they made.

Parents are not teaching and passing on the respect of standing when the flag passes by. We have already had a class in “flag etiquette” (I homeschool, so I make everything a teaching opportunity).

Two of the most populous states in our country (both solidly Blue) are fast becoming banana republics.

I mean New York and California.

Pledging your allegiance to the Republic is pledging allegiance to the idea that our Republic is one nation under God never divided with liberty & justice for all its citizenry unlike the tyrannical monarchy.
