NBC really screwed up on this one. They showed just how progressive they really are. For most of us, we all know full well just how offensive that progressives find "under god". But what NBC has shown us is that progressives also find "indivisible" and "one nation" to be equally as offensive.

And they apologized for leaving out part but didn’t say which part. They’re still morons.

A baby cries. A Mazeratti goes through a red light. A homeless man pandlehandles for wine money. The sun comes up in the east. A bear c++ps in the woods. And does this come as a surprise to anyone??

I only wish, if they were going to be this stupid and insensitive, that they would have done it a little closer to election day 2012, maybe before a major NFL game in the Autumn. The libs in America can NOT win on these types of cultural war issues. The guano is scared out of them, because in their heart of hearts they know a) the size of the opposition in America; and b) the fact that this Sleeping Giant can and will roar to life and engulf them, completely routing their defensive positions.

This is a great lesson in media progressivism.

They find “indivisible” to be offensive.
They find “one nation” to be offensive.

On January 14, 1969, Red Skelton presented "The Little Old Man" on his television show. It was the story of his teacher, Mr. Laswell who talked to the students after they had just finished reciting the Pledge of Allegiance:

"Boys and girls, I have been listening to you recite the Pledge of Allegiance all semester and it appears that it has become monotonous to you or could it be you do not know the meaning of those words. If I may, I would like to recite the Pledge and give to you a definition of the words.

I----meaning me, an individual, a committee of one.
Pledge----dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self pity.
Allegiance----my love and my devotion.
To the Flag----our standard, Old Glory, a symbol of freedom. Wherever she waves, there is respect because your loyalty has given her a dignity that shouts freedom is everybody's job.
Of the United----that means that we have all come together.
States----individual communities that have united into 48 great states. 48 individual communities with pride and dignity and purpose, all divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common cause, and that's love of country.
Of America.
And to the Republic----a republic, a state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives chosen by the people to govern. And government is the people and it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people.
For which it stands!
One nation----meaning, so blessed by God.
Indivisible----incapable of being divided.
With Liberty----which is freedom and the right of power to live one's life without threats or fear or any sort of retaliation.
And justice----The principle and quality of dealing fairly with others.
For all.----which means, boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine."

Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our nation, and two words have been added to the Pledge of Allegiance "under God." Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said, "That's a prayer" and that would be eliminated from schools, too?

I was going to suggest that someone send this to Jon Stewart in light of his recent unconditional denial that NBC, CBS, NYT, NPR and the rest do not have a liberal bias. But he would explain it all away like he did on Fox News Sunday this morning.

I'm trying to find a way to email Dan Hicks directly. If anyone knows please tell me.

I think he should leave the network. He is an example of everything bad about the bias in the news business. He was in the process of broadcasting the hallmark tournament of the only sport that is conducted under the honor system of one's own moral character.

In golf, players police themselves, they play the ball as it lies and self impose penalties.
On Sunday, Dan Hicks lied to a national audience of golf fans and devotees of the sport when he read the statement NBC prepared for him - ONE HE KNOWS WAS FALSE.

There was nothing inadvertent about the editing and he disgraced the telecast and the game by saying so. He should never be allowed in the booth again, in my opinion. The same goes for Johnny Miller who sat next to him and said nothing.
