Students at Calif. College ban Pledge of Allegiance

It's ridiculous how so many have no appreciation or understanding of freedom and privilege. Sure, the Pledge may seem like a trivial activity, when in reality it recognizes how all of us bask in the instituitions of freedom, justice, and security. Just because you disagree with a politician, a party, or the government, doesn't mean you should completely disavow your very loyalty to that which makes your life possible. The Pledge represents much more than the U.S. governement; it is intrinsic to the struggle and sacrifice that created and sustained this country through tragedy and triumph. And for the record...something I call Liberal Lie #666....Separation of church and state was never intended to exclude God, merely to ensure religious freedom. Being the constitution was strongly influenced by judeo-christian ideals and beliefs, it is irrelevant whether a citizen believes in God. "Under God" simple recognizes a fundamental truth to the genesis of this country, and in no way whatsoever forces anyone to adopt any religion. Here's to the patriotic and those who truly love and appreciate America!

ARTICLE SNIPPET:

""That ('under God') part is sort of offensive to me," student trustee Jason Bell, who proposed the ban, told Reuters. "I am an atheist and a socialist, and if you know your history, you know that 'under God' was inserted during the McCarthy era and was directly designed to destroy my ideology.""

Fine...cut all federal funding to that school and any school in agreement. Let them sit in classes with no AC running and see how they feel.

[Jeff Chandler]

cut all federal funding to that school and any school in agreement.

But then there would be children left behind.

Kumbaya.

Peace out.

New Tone.

[MichaelManureMoore]

I couldn't agree more. Also, this is just a random comment, why is it we must all change for atheists? They say "Under God" offends them...I wonder how many they offend in turn? Of course, that doesn't matter. Somehow, society has been duked into believing - by the ACLU and other liberals - that the desires of 1% are more important than the other 99%. They can hate God and America all they want, but I refuse to change for people who don't give a damn about this country, or its people.

Here is who will be running things when we get old...

Bring back the draft. Get them in the Army. Make them fight or die for their country. No deferments. No exceptions. I know not many here will agree with me, but every one of us (males) has an absolute duty and obligation to serve his country. Not just pledge his allegiance to it, but actually serve it. If you don't have that sense of duty, the country is lost. imho

[yoe]

Amen!!

"I am an Atheist and a Socialist"

And a Communist. And a glaring example of why we must learn to communicate our values to the people.

The young are being indoctrinated on college campuses everywhere
to facilitate "Revolution" against us.

Why is a former president of the USA helping Socialists and Communists to get elected?

WAKE UP AMERICA!

"Cut all federal funding to that school..."

I agree.

[Cindy]

Thank you for the links Pajamajan.

"Bring back the Draft"

If I was president on 9/11, I would have instituted the Draft 9/12. I agree it's the only way to save our nation.

[Alaska Wolf]

Eliminate student loans. Make the little peckerwads work for their diplomas.

[MichaelManureMoore]

Excellent post!

[Pajamajan]

You're quite welcome (for the Links).

What did you think of the first one? Spooky huh? If you have any questions like- "Why do democrats/liberals......(fill in the blank), the answers can be found on that list.

[LibWhacker]

If you ever run, let us know. I'll vote for you!

I can't believe that kids are being taught and encouraged to have contempt for their country. That's not how you preserve a country, that's how you destroy it.

[Cindy]

Not really spooky...I've been watching this stuff for years.
Sorry situation (gross understatement).

[MaxMax]

they see no reason to publicly swear loyalty to God and the U.S. government.

KILL THEM ALL!
No, wait. This isn't China/Iran/N-Korea/Russia/Africa/BAH!.

Oh well, Nevermind..

[Wilhelm Tell]

Here is who will be running things when we get old...

Don't worry. I'm sure they will have plans to euthanize us. And if they surrender the country to the Islamists or set up their communist utopia, reaching old age won't even be an issue to begin with.
