Do you realize that your sacred Pledge of Allegiance was written by a socialist
And a Baptist minister and chairman of the NEA. What a mess, huh?

But the American Legion and Knights of Columbus straightened it out and made it right.

…and that teaching obedience to the state is typically viewed as a communist trait?
Maybe to those who tend to those traits.

Pretty sad camanintx, when one can not differentiate between pledging your loyalty to a representative government that you installed to serve and protect the people, and forced allegiance to a dictator.

That obedience to the state, is holding yourself accountable to the laws WE pass to order our society, not forced obedience to the whims of a Fascist state.

Paul Yanna,

“This is why churches need to lose their tax exemptions. ”

This is ignorance speaking. Churches are tax exempt because of separation of church and state doctrine. If the government taxes a church it is not separate from that church.

“Student leaders at a California college have touched off a furor by banning the Pledge of Allegiance at their meetings, saying they see no reason to publicly swear loyalty to God and the U.S. government.”Jay

“I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. “

I am kind of curious what they teach at that California College since logic does not seem to be one of the courses. The Pledge of Allegiance is to the United States and to the republic form of government it has but it is not to God since saying one nation under God is a description of the United States. I wonder if they realize they stated that they have a problem with the republic form of government. Are they anarchist or socialist by any chance? I see they were.

“This is why churches need to lose their tax exemptions. If people want to be fat, ugly, ineducable rednecks, they can do it on their own dime.”

Speaking of ineducable…what you just said made no sense genius. Churches do operate on their own dime. Tax-payers contribute nothing, including you. Next time you insult someone’s intelligence, learn proper grammar (“I like you how”) and make sure you have a legitimate gripe.

I like you how so casually use the word “atheist” as a slur, as if rejecting beliefs in supernatural heroes is grounds for mockery.

I’m also with Dan Riehl when he says “people should be free to be as stupid and poor as they want, so long as tax dollars don’t have to subsidize it.” This is why churches need to lose their tax exemptions. If people want to be fat, ugly, ineducable rednecks, they can do it on their own dime.

Of course they’d ban it. The Pledge is American, and these secular colleges are like little Utopian islands, countries of their own. If your going to reject the recruiters who protect the freedoms and principles of this country, you may as well reject the principles themselves while you’re at it.
