It’s evident that those at Commie Central / NBC have no knowledge whatsoever of the writings of our founding fathers, US history, and The Bible.

The poll, and the motto, is about rearranging deck chairs on a sinking ship.

What the h--- difference does it make?

You think a phrase (e.g., "God Save the Queen") will make the rest of the world more likely to accept near-worthless money? If so, tell the president-for-life of Zimbabwe.

Sheesh... can’t you keep things apart? I made a sober factual comment on how these online polls work. Of course I’ll vote. :P

Re-ping to a new posting. A lot closer now! Thanks to GopherBroke for the heads up!

FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)

Hard to move a poll with that many votes, but at least it shows there is opposition to PSMSNBC.

Reading from the first post to mine, 600K votes were cast in the interim, taking the numbers from Y/N 52/48 to Y/N 46/54. Looks like a conservative/traditionalist eruption at MSNBC took place and I’d be hard-pressed to believe it came from a few people multi-pinging the site.
