Pledge for the Workers
My daughter, who is 11, and I were delighted at the California court decision omitting the words "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance. She and 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. So she inspired me to rewrite the Pledge.
Imagine schoolchildren every day reciting the following:
ledge allegiance to all the ordinary people around the world,
to the laid off Enron workers and the WorldCom workers
the maquiladora workers
and the sweatshop workers from New York to Indonesia,
who labor not under God but under the heel of multinational corporations; I pledge allegiance
to the people of Iraq,
Palestine and Afghanistan,
and to their struggles to survive and resist
slavery to corporate greed,
brutal wars against their families,
and the economic and environmental ruin wrought by global capitalism; I pledge allegiance
to building a better world
where human needs are met
and with real liberty, equality and justice for all.
The original pledge does not include or represent us godless radicals. The backlash against the California decision shows just how thin our democracy is.

If these idiots hate Western culture so much I will remind them once again that it is only the West that allows them dissent.
It is only in the West that women, even the stupid ones like this, can rise to positions of authority.
It is only the West that allows it's citizens to band together to fight against organizations they disagree with.
It is only the West which tolerates such loathesome idiots as this woman.

Holiday in Cambodia, by The dead Kennedys:
So you been to school for a year or two
And you know you've seen it all
In daddy's car thinkin' you'll go far
Back east your type don't crawl
Play ethnicky jazz to parade your snazz
On your five grand stereo
Braggin that you know how the n*****s feel cold
And the slums got so much soul
It's time to taste what you most fear
Right Guard will not help you here
Brace yourself, my dear
It's a holiday in Cambodia
It's tough kid, but it's life
It's a holiday in Cambodia
Don't forget to pack a wife
Your a star-belly sneech you suck like a leech
You want everyone to act like you
Kiss ass while you bitch so you can get rich
But your boss gets richer on you
Well you'll work harder with a gun in your back
For a bowl of rice a day
Slave for soldiers til you starve
Then your head skewered on a stake
Now you can go where people are one
Now you can go where they get things done
What you need my son:
Is a holiday in Cambodia
Where people dress in black
A holiday in Cambodia
Where you'll kiss ass or crack
Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot
Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot, Pol Pot
And it's a holiday in Cambodia
Where you'll do what you're told
A holiday in Cambodia
Where the slums got so much soul
Pol Pot

"Dana Cloud lives in Austin with her daughter, Samantha, who enjoys reading, soccer, and playing the guitar. In her spare time, Professor Cloud enjoys dancing, playing flute in an informal chamber music group, and agitating for social change. She is a longtime member of the International Socialist Organization and supports a number of other organizations against racism, sexism, and war. She also promotes gay and lesbian rights and workers' power at the University of Texas and in the Austin community."
To: LurkedLongEnough
Dana L. Cloud (PhD, University of Iowa, 1992) specializes in the analysis of contemporary and popular and political culture from feminist, Marxist, and critical anti-racist perspectives. LOL!! Says it all right there.
What the hell are "critical anti-racist perspectives"?
To: cactusSharp
She will have to answer to the Almighty for all the $@XT she is spewing. God is going to deal with her far better than any of us could do. Makes you kind of pitty that sorry waste air as well as 80% of all the sorry pieces of crap we call College professors. And I firmly believe that God will deal with people more harshly that are in positions of great influence, i.e., Judges, politicians, teachers, religious leaders, etc.

Ms. Cloud should be given a one-way ticket to Zimbabwe, where she can experience, first hand, the result of Marxist "rhetoric" becoming reality.

Hey, she's inspiring me to expand on her pledge!
I pledge allegiance to
Naked dancing fairies
Dressed in drag...
To the Socialists Workers' Party
And to the New World Order.
And to the republic
Of the United Nations
and ICC, which should
destroy the Republic of
The United States of America
immediately.
For which it stands for,
Racism
Hate
Hate crimes
Anti-gay
Pro-AIDS
Hate thought
Hate speech
Hate sex among straights.
One nation,
Under the U.N.
Under the crushing boot of collectivism
and under the ICC.
For liberty to the Socialist Workers of the Global Universe,
And justice for fat, swine robber barrons who imprison and abuse downtrodden workers.

"Dana Cloud Associate professor Communication studies"In order for Dana to get the title "Dr.", she first got her B.S. degree (Bull Sh# degree), then two more years for her M.S. degree (More Sh# degree) and finally got her PhD (Piled Higher and Deeper degree). Hey, she is teaching feminist and marxist philosophies, why isnt see indoctrinating high school student?

I'm just wondering. If America is so terrible, why is this Dana Cloud still here?
To: Dakmar
People like Ms. Cloud are free to preach their bullsh*t on a US college campus because 226 years ago, some Old White Guys wrote a document called the US Constitution which set up a society/government based on the idea that God had created Man and endowed him with certain inalienable rights......and since then several MILLION men have died to preserve that idea. This woman and her ilk just irritate the living crap out of me.

How Dana's pledge should really read--
"I pledge allegience to Karl Marx, whose philosophy brought the world more human misery than any other--nearly 100 million murdered, countless more imprisoned, failed economies, and otherwise miserably oppressed people."
To: LurkedLongEnough
Thanks for your helpful post. I had assumed the author of this "pledge" was a guy. Other folks thought it was a woman. Thanks to the information you have provided, we now know s/he falls somewhere in between.
In the immortal words of Archie Bunker, "Too much of both and not enough of either!"
To: cardinal4
Not to mention, teaching her hatred of America at the expense of the hard-working people of Texas.
To: ChiefsMan
Dana is the enemy. I use the word advisedly, and I suspect she would agree in her honest moments, if she has any; this is the sort of individual who preens under the protection of the First Amendment while doing everything possible to undermine its foundation. Intelligentsia like her actually managed it in Russia, and for their efforts were the first stood up against the wall. "Radicals" such as she have managed to leverage glib, jargon-laden crap to a salary-paying art, courtesy of a stock-holding, multinational corporation that is the modern university in a thin disguise. I note that that does not seem to be preventing her from cashing her copious paycheck.
To: ChiefsMan
LOL! Freep On!
To: liberalism=failure
The United States of America is the only country on earth where someone like Ms. Cloud can aspire to become an a**hole, and actually achieve it!

Just your run-of-the-mill traitorous college professor.I RESENT THAT REMARK. I teach computer science courses at a small university. I am a rabid conservative - and my co-workers and students know it. Every semester, I have my students write a fairly complex and involved program to help locate/track the "bad guys" - and they love it, even the foreign students. PLEASE don't label us all with the same description. Some of us are trying to help the others see the light!
