Fox News Leads into the story as follows:

A University of Texas communications professor who describes herself as a longtime member of the International Socialist Organization and spends her spare time promoting gay rights and workers' power has penned a new Pledge of Allegiance more suitable for self-proclaimed "godless radicals" as herself.

This is what we are up against in our colleges and universities. What claptrap.

...I have always been uncomfortable saying the pledge, not only because of the religious imposition, but because it seems very strange to pledge loyalty to a scrap of cloth representing a corrupt nation that imposes its will, both economic and military, around the world by force.

Imagine Whirled Peas.

It irks me that my tax dollars are supporting this traitor. This academic waste is taking the food out of the mouth some marine, denying extra pay for a seaman, or denying training to a grunt.

[tarawa]

Sorry. I did a search for both the title and a search for Dana Cloud, and neither came up with anything.

Imagine schoolchildren every day reciting the following:

I just tried that and I began to feel sick.

[austingirl]

It sickens me that this caliber of teacher is influencing our young people at UT.

[Illbay]

Oh, you wait.

Within a week it'll be posted again, attributed to George Carlin.

Its amazing...these are the same types who cry out if we leave a "peacekeeping" mission or pull out of a economically (worldy wise in my opinion) suicidal Kyoto protocol...

With a last name like Cloud, the squaw sounds like a redskin.

In almost any other nation on the planet which she pledges to, her opinion would get her deported, imprisoned or shot.

If she is so anti-American, she is free to leave........and good riddance!

And the fact that such a huge proportion of the population disagreed with the California court ruling shows how real democracy works. Majority rule, however, does not mean total disregard for opposing views.

herself as a longtime member of the International Socialist Organization

Never forget: The Nazis were socialists.

I don't care if it's been posted a dozen times--this is the first time I've seen it!

It especially hurts to know that this woman is right here at the University of Texas, my alma mata!

That should get you there.

I feel sorry for her daughter. Poor child doesn't stand a chance.

[alloysteel]

This certainly seems to resolve all the objections this professor Dana Cloud seems to hold. Are we reduced to making up our own pledges if we are condemned to terminal irrationality?

SAY IT AIN'T SO BEVO!!! SAY IT AIN'T SO!!!!!! :(

Never forget: The Nazis were socialists.

What an odd thing to say.  Many more
people died under Stalin than Hitler and
communism enslaved nations for decades.
Yet you tell us not to forget the political
nature of Nazism as if we need the lesser
of two evils as comparison to remind us
of the greater of two evils.  Methinks you
have unknowingly introjected the liberal
mindset that sees communism as less
objectionable than Nazism.
