We owe our allegiance to the United States of America

[Floyd53]

We live in a time when democracy is being seriously challenged by our own president. It is this challenge that will be Bush's real legacy. History will show that Bush's efforts to subvert the democracy we have built on for the past two hundred years, is what ultimately saves us from our own complacency. Most of us feel the urgency and necessity to speak out in defense, mostly against the awkward meanderings of a less-than-intelligent leader. Bush is an embarrassment, not just a dictator fascist, or an enemy of our democracy. He is an embarrassment to the intellect of the whole world. He is also the embodiment of all the fear and evil that curses civilized people.
So rage on, you soldiers of democracy, freedom and liberty. Carry that flag with the same fervor and fury our forefathers had when facing the blazing guns of those who threatened us on our own soil. Stand your ground. Bring home our soldiers of misfortune, the contracted sons and daughters, fathers and mothers, from their grave circumstance. We owe our allegiance to the United States of America, not Iraq.

4. I owe my allegiance to my fellow man

not to an entity which initiates rape, murder and theft as it's prime goals.

Sadly, we the people, have allowed a monstrosity called The Federal Government to grow to a point were we can not redress our grievances against it or even advocate for it's dissolution without incurring it's wrath.

5. IMHO, We collectively owe our allegiance to...

the Constitution of the United States. It is what makes us a differnt kind of nation. A landform is a landform. The Constitution is what makes us valid as a new kind of nation.

9. Unless, you were black, or a native or a woman or poor

or communist or gay/lesbian or any other *despicable* underclass.

The constitution has no inherent authority and has been forcibly foisted upon generations of americans for over 200 years.

6. How foolish you appear ....

referring to Native 'Americans' here :

"So rage on, you soldiers of democracy, freedom and liberty. Carry that flag with the same fervor and fury our forefathers had when facing the blazing guns of those who threatened us on our own soil." ?

8. We owe our allegience to the Earth, to humanity, and to our Constitution

as written and interpreted. We do not owe any allegience to illegal conduct carried out in our names.

Thanks for the reasoned post!
