Say the pledge: Anyone who doesnt wish to say it can remain seated. That serves to show them for the assholes they are.

The result of rich privileged limosine liberals taking over. This is what's known as being "progressive".

When I moved up here last year I joined both the Bainbridge Chamber of Commerce and the Silverdale Chamber.

I attended 2 of the BI meetings and realiuzed they're dominated by rich, snooty libs. In contrast, I love the Silverdale meetings. They always include the Pledge of Allegience in their meetings, and often present awards to members of the armed forces for their service. What a difference a few miles makes!

There's a heck of of a lot of other countries you can go live in if you don't want to say the pledge here.

Please, if you don't want to say the pledge, feel free to leave - we won't stop ya'

This is all the Socialist Organization for Women's (SOW) fault. The absurdity of women joining men's clubs made legitimate the practice of anti-Americans governing of our nation.

If you can't handle pledging your allegiance to this country, MOVE TO ANOTHER ONE!!

[Lancer_N3502A]

I have not and will NEVER shirk from saying the Pledge of Allegiance!

Kitsap Sun? Thats news to me. Didn't it used to be called the Bremerton Sun when I went to school there?

[Libertina]

And some AREN'T edgy. Good grief, this is "reporting"????

[Chickensoup]

Amazing.

The leftist techies who live on Bainbridge now, should be kissing the flag because our country and our freedoms have allowed them to suceed.

"Negative press reports that more than likely will come out as (a) result of a stand against the pledge could have unintended consequences for the business community and the community as a whole -- suggesting that Bainbridge Islanders are ultra-liberal and against the war, the Bush Administration, etc.," he stated.

Are they ultra-liberal?

But an e-mail also sent Wednesday from Llewellyn to City Council members and others suggested he is not backing down...

They never do... a fool is wise in his own eyes.

"I will expect NOTHING between "Call to Order" and "Additions/deletions" except "Roll Call" unless agreed to by consent of Council chair and mayor -- prior to the meeting. This has been accepted protocol for the last 15 years, except for the recent couple months. Anything not on the agenda should be added (by consensus) at the "Additions/deletions" part of the agenda," Llewellyn wrote.

Okay. What was the practice for the 15 years prior to that, and the 15 years prior to that? Which is really the "new" protocol? Inquiring minds want to know...
