Is a San Francisco politician right for not saying the Pledge of Allegiance?

Radical chic, San Fran-style.

“I think I am very loyal the country. I’ve expressed my patriotism through my years of doing organizing work, being a civil-rights lawyer and being a public servant now.”

By her logic Hussein is also loyal to this country, too bad he's constantly proving otherwise.

[ex-snook]

Now if only the American corporations that are exporting jobs would pledge Allegiance.

[NoRedTape]

There's nothing right about it. How does she even have that position in Government?
Oh, that's right - it's San Francisco. In San Fran (old days) she never would have been elected,
and if she refused to recite the Pledge, she would have been removed from the Board.

More here on FR from an earlier discussion.

Well, she is correct. If you’re not protected by political correctness, you have no reasonable expectation of receiving justice.

[Doc Savage]

This bitch is going to do great under Sharia law. First off she’ll have to have a clitorectomy! Then the burhka! Then never be seen in public, no driver’s license! And woe be the day when she fornicates. That’s when she’ll lose her head! O yeah, she’s gonna do great!

“I think I am very loyal the country. I’ve expressed my patriotism through my years of doing organizing work, being a civil-rights lawyer and being a public servant now.”

By her own words she states that she is an America hating COMMIE.

Jane is a self-important prat. She’s just attention whoring.

[Venturer]

I wonder how her ancesters felt about the US. I mean those who fled from Korea or China to get here.

Would be interesting to talk to her grandmother.

[Balding_Eagle]

American corporations’ first allegiance is to their owners.

[Carley]

She represents her district perfectly.

[Cicero]

Well, I’m sure it will be very popular in present day San Fran.

She’s certainly wrong on the merits. “With liberty and justice for all” is the ideal toward which we should always aim. Sure, we fall short, but we should remind ourselves of the ideal.

The truth is, she probably doesn’t believe in that ideal. Her vision is more likely: “With liberty and justice for certified minorities, and not for you damned white heterosexual males! You guys go to the bottom of the ladder!”

[wku man]

I have one for her and any other SOB who wants to change/ignore/do away with the Pledge:

Old Glory (a song for Michael) by 10 Pound Test

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

"American corporations’ first allegiance is to their owners."

If their first allegiance is not to this country, then they shouldn't be permitted to finance candidates. We are in competition with the world militarily and economically and don't need fence sitters.

If their first allegiance is not to this country, then they shouldn’t be permitted to finance candidates.

Exactly. What percent of ownership that is hostile to America does a corporation have to have to lose their privilege of making political contributions?

As noted by a previous poster...already discussed previously.

“civil rights lawyer” No further explantion necessary!

[freekitty]

Not this again. If she wants to live in a country she really favors; then she should go.

[therightliveswithus]

But can we really be that surprised about someone from SF?

[Jack Hammer]

An idiot representing other idiots.
