The Congress reciting the Pledge of Allegiance sounds like....

[kentuck]

a schoolroom of second graders. How silly! Do they have to recite the "pledge" to prove their patriotism? As if the people electing them to Congress is not enough?

I was listening to C-SPAN in the background and it all sounded so childish and silly. No, I'm not saying the Pledge is silly. I'm saying the Congress is fucking silly.

1. "under god" has got to go....

[oneighty]

2. Injecting God by government

orders seems sorta un-democratic.

I do not say the pledge. All my years in the service I never heard the pledge recited. It is a phony thing. Meaningless. As children we saluted the flag 'Nazi style.' It was so cool.

3. Imagine a Muslim being elected and interjecting "Under Allah"?

Oh the fundies will be beside themselves with rage!

4. Could get messy with polytheists....

[zbdent]

5. Are the Repukes still shouting "Under God" at the top of their lungs

while "whispering" (if that) another important piece of the pledge - "with liberty and justice for all . . ."?
