Pledge Of Allegiance

I do not believe mandatory pledges are Constitutional. They are especially not constitutional if they include a policy statement about Gods position in the Government.

Its a small issue, but one would think the small government Republicans would be on the correct side of this issue.

I don't believe they are either. But it would show where one stands with his level of patriotism. That's why those who participate with the pledge should sort out those who don't, and remind the little communists after class what it means to be American. Problem solved, right there on the schoolyard.

Where does the Pledge state what God's position in the government is?

I see! Then you, in your "patriotism", supported the government complicity in moving American jobs to foreign lands; our involvement in Iraq; etc.

I suspect that one who is brave enough to abstain from an unconstitutional practice is the more patriotic American. Is that what you were saying? Those who abstain will take care of the problem by bullying those who submit to the authority of the Federal Government Fascists?

So, you believe in violence, bullying and intimidation to get people who do not believe that saying "under God" is necessary to be loyal to the USA to conform to your ideologies?

You know they crucified Jesus because he would not conform. Funny that you do unto others as they did unto Jesus.

The Bellamy salute is the salute described by Francis Bellamy to accompany the American Pledge of Allegiance, which he had authored. During the period when it was used with the Pledge of Allegiance, it was sometimes known as the "flag salute". During the 1920s and 1930s, Italian fascists and Nazis adopted a salute which had the same form, resulting in controversy over the use of the Bellamy salute in the United States. It was officially replaced by the hand-over-heart salute when Congress amended the Flag Code on December 22, 1942.

Since certain countries adopted it some 65 years later, what connection are you attempting to make?

Do you also intend to try and make some kind of comparison to ancient cultures and the Nazi's use of the swastika?

So what point were you trying to make, by making an "expansion" of signalmankenneth's posting?

How bout that?

Another board "Christian" endorses schoolyard beatings!

What it means to be "American"...it means you use brutality to beat down any thinking that runs counter to the hate Granny spreads.

Not surprising in the least that Granny feels this way, however.
 
Wow, the Conservatives are so inconsistent. . .

If the fed tries to take your cattle off their land.... its okay to shoot them.

If a school kids refuses to pledge allegiance to the Federal Government he's breaking the law and should be bullied.

Oh Jarod, you are FAR too kind.

"Inconsistent" isn't the word I'd use to describe the obvious contradiction you point out...but then, you are a much more restrained poster than I.
