A Republican candidate for Congress in California is calling on U.S. Rep. Xavier Becerra to "clarify his reaction" after the Democrat was caught on a YouTube video laughing at a suggestion that the Pledge of Allegiance be recited prior to a union meeting in Los Angeles.

gotta love youtube!
Perhaps he would rather sing The Internationale...............
Xavier......luckily his mom didn’t name him Sue.

“Derided” - What the heck? Out of horsewhips, tar, feathers?

Why would the storm troopers of socialism want to swear allegiance to the symbol of freedom?
Does the Mexican Communist flag have its own flag?
Response: Becerra is one member of the coalition of homosexuals, blacks, hispanic invaders, non-christians in the process of conquering the United States. It is quite common, historically, for the conquerors to laugh at the values of the vanquished. Soon protest against such scorn will not allowed, indeed protestors will be severely used.
In a similar way, but recording devices within the reach of private citizens and a means of disseminating those recordings are taking much of the power to decide who gets elected and who doesn't away from the network news heads and places it at the grass roots.
I'm all for it.
Liberals look at the pledge as being silly!
If the district is mostly Mexican it will put him in good stead with his constituents, most who do not identify with the anglo culture and do not see themselves as Americans..
Then I say to them the exit is to the south
