There are many who want to take God out of the pledge, but they're taken dead seriously.

They burned the very thing that insures
their right to burn that very thing.

"“as a symbol of our complicity in the ongoing injustice being perpetrated by our nation,”"

And I was afraid that this wasn't going to be about left wingers...

There's little "Catholic" or "worker" about these people.

Sounds like YDS is one big clock factory . . .

Tamara Shantz DIV ’07, another student organizer, said she chose to read from and burn a copy of the Seventh Commandment — which stipulates that “Thou shalt not steal” — because she believes the destructive effect that war has on the environment will prevent future generations in Afghanistan and Iraq from living full and happy lives.

Now THAT is some muddled thinking!

[Clintonfatigued]

Why don't those people just leave the country. Burning a copy of the Constitution proves one to be unfit to be a citizen.

[livius]

Why are Catholics even students at the Yale Divinity School?

[Ultra Sonic 007]

Catholic ping.

We have some nutty people here...burning the Bill of Rights AND the Ten Commandants? Are you guys batty?

These moonbats would eagerly deny ordinary citizens their First or Second Amendment rights while they try to create "rights" for terrorists.

"Doucot, a founding member of the Catholic Worker community in Hartford, pointed to the government’s domestic spying programs and the war in Iraq as evidence that Americans have forfeited their freedom and shirked their responsibilities to the poor."

These poor, misguided students absolutley have it ass backwards. Glancing at the headlines I figured that divinity students would be protesting the government's suppression of religion. As it turns out they are protesting the War on Terror, which is a war that fights against the enemies of Western man, Judaism and Christianity. You'd think 'divinity' students could figure that out.

[Loyal Buckeye]

Wonder if they burned the one about abortion rights.

Where have I heard baloney like this before? Oh yeah now I remember the Democrap Party !!!

During the service, students read and briefly discussed how each of the first 10 amendments and Ten Commandments have been violated by the United States, before burning each item.

Alright, now I have to hear what they said about how the Second Amendment has been violated.

“I don’t feel that this event was appropriate for the time or message that they were trying to convey,” he said. “This event could be considered unintentionally disrespectful.”

Now why would he think that and what would they have to do for it to be considered intentionally disrespectful?

“If they’re upset at the burning of paper, shouldn’t they be more upset about how the government is throwing away the rights that we cherish?” he said. “By burning those pages all we did was make visual what the government has done.”

One might think he'd never heard of Ash Wednesday or Lent before. What's next, real blood in the Communion chalice, to throw at military recruiters?

[WorkingClassFilth]

...a few dozen students, faculty, administrators and members of the New Haven community gathered in the Divinity School Quadrangle to reflect upon the role of Christians in a nation that, student organizers said, is increasingly secular and whose government systematically violates its citizens’ rights.

That's all I need to read. These clowns should start learning to swim with millstones around their necks.

[Dead Dog]

Insurrection ain't a right. Waste Him.

“If they’re upset at the burning of paper, shouldn’t they be more upset about how the government is throwing away the rights that we cherish?” he said...could he be talking about the right of free exercise of religious preference? - nah......
