If they don’t like the pledge they don’t have to say it. Better yet find a different nation to “pledge” to. I should be as free to pledge to my God and country as they are to fight against it. Too bad the minority wins.

The 0.00001 percenters have rights.

The 80.0 percenters have none.

Does it much matter? I mean, really, don't say ‘under god’ if it offends you. Don't say the pledge if it is against your beliefs. We aren't in the 1950’s, there's no one scanning the students at school (or anywhere) to see whom is not taking the pledge, who is the communist in the group.

Why is it that these guys can always find standing in court to file these cases, yet when a voter files a case against a liberal, it is automatically thrown out as lacking of standing? No ‘skin’ in the game...

Looks like every single propaganda piece I’ve ever seen from Socialists, Nazis, and Commies. They aren’t really original in their tactics.

It was kindly meant, but putting God in a pledge and taking him out of schools is what has screwed us over. I wish I had lived in such a time.

Lol ...

What do these moonbats want the pledge to say?

How about: "Hail to our Chief!" or is that "Heil"?

“How about: “Hail to our Chief!” or is that “Heil”?

I’m a little confused. Were you saying “Hail to the Chief” or was it “Jail to the Thief?” Guess I need to change my glasses.

Why do they need a campaign? Why can't they just...

Wait.
I get it.

...not Boycott, but rather making use of the pledge of allegiance by everyone else a federal felony, a hate crime, islamophobic and a capital offense.

Good luck with that Barack!

Why are “conservatives” so enamored of a Pledge that denies a fundamental, unalienable right that is upheld in the Declaration of Independence: the right of secession.

From Wikipedia:

Bellamy "viewed his Pledge as an 'inoculation' that would protect immigrants and native-born but insufficiently patriotic Americans from the 'virus' of radicalism and subversion."

Next line:

Bellamy was a Christian Socialist who "championed 'the rights of working people and the equal distribution of economic resources, which he believed was inherent in the teachings of Jesus."

You can't make this stuff up.

I wish I'd known a little more about this Bellamy character before I'd been made to chant his stupid pledge several thousand times.

Satanists are such fools. The Satan they worship does not even exist.

Methinks they need to read Job.
