THE TOLERANT LEFT, in full review.. Think my way, or else..
I’m sorry to tell you this, but I kicked a chair out from under a punk that wouldn’t stand during the Pledge in the Owners Clubhouse at the Fairgrounds in New Orleans..
I didn’t even hesitate and he couldn’t believe what happened until he heard the applause from the crowd.. His father finally found his manhood when he turned to me and said “Thank You, I should have done that years ago”
Sorry,you are still a jerk ,too. If the person had fallen and been hurt it would have been entirely your fault.And you could have been charged with assault ,and rightfully so.You don’t have a right not to be offended by someone’s quiet refusal to participate in a ceremonial act.
The pledge of allegiance didn’t appear until ,what, 1866? after the federal government for the first time forcibly drafted formerly free citizens into the army. The 1860s were when all the citizens of the states lost much of their freedom as part of giving that newly restricted freedom to the slaves of the southern states.
Living up to the nation’s ideals and living in accordance with lawful freedom and responsibilities is enough.
A forced pledge is no better than the oath impressed sailors were forced to swear to the King ,after finding themselves on a ship miles from home.
The oath or affirmation that means something is the one all officials and employees of government should take and be held to,the oath of preserving,protecting, and defending the Constitution.
Why can’t a judge throw out these lawsuits stating that there has been no true ‘injury’ to the plaintiff and the intent of the suit is simply to remove a rule or tradition that the plaintiff disagrees with?
Make them go through the political system to change things like this
