scream-of-consciousness;
"If you're trying to change minds and influence people it's probably not a good idea to say that virtually all elected Democrats are liars, but what the hell."
Less than one third know it was written by the author of "Looking Backward" which was considered the American communist manifesto. We should go back to reciting it with arms outstretched Nazi style as originally intended.
I really don't care; as long as the "indivisible, with liberty, and justice for all" is taken to heart. If that was a mandate, instead of a pledge, some folks in Washington, D.C. would be hoping the rope is the correct length.
Whether you believe it should be there or not, I do have to admit that I'm always amazed at how few people know that the phrase "under God" is a relatively recent addition to the pledge. .
^ Anon, Yeah, I remember re-learning the Pledge when they added that in elementary school. I'm a non-believer, but I don't object to that phrase being there (or on on coins, etc.), as long as no one objects to me not saying it when I recite the Pledge. I don't object to prayers in public, either. I stand quietly. I consider it just bein' polite. Hey, the world doesn't revolve around me
Seems we have our own little Palestinian problem. To bad we don't have most of them committed to a specific piece of real estate like the Israelis do...
Our founding fathers never used the word "Indivisible". Mr. Jefferson spoke to this when three states tried to secede due to their cowardice in the war of 1812.
Add a poll question about free ObamaPhones and Pelosi will figure 3 X 1/3 = everybody.
