What I find offensive is this idea that the US is the same if not worse then Nazi Germany and Stalin's Russia combined. I wish that people would, oh maybe read about what living under actual brutal regimes is like. And no, having the price of your low fat mocha frappe go up is not brutal. Neither is anything --- and yes, I mean anything going on in the US right now.
For democratic delegates to boo the pledge of allegiance is beyond insulting to this ...our country. Does it make them sheeple or nazis or fascists to say it? No. What saying the pledge of allegiance accomplishes is an acknowledgement of our government, and more specifically their job to help choose the next democratic candidate for president of the united states. When else would saying the pledge be more appropriate? Instead, they acted like a bunch of junior high kids let out of school early. They should be embarassed of themselves.

My fear is that the reverse is happening. The Saudi Royal family is buying us out and noting the Muslim hating taking place. Could get ugly when they have majority ownership. He doesn't need to go there, they are doing a great job coming here.

Of course they are. That's why 95% of sex abuse was perpetrated on young boys.

Absolutely Pathetic.

If you don't like it, don't recite it, simple as that. You can sit there quietly and not make a fuss. Its one thing to abstain, its another to sit there and boo it like a bunch of children. If a crippled man in a wheel chair can make an effort to stand during the pledge, then surely some Seattle lefty can sit quietly and act their age.

Amazing that such an immature political party gets any support at all.



Obama makes people constantly recite his name and mottoes; Bear his seals and t-shirts everywhere, maybe he's the Fascist one?

The Obama crowd love him because they too hate America because they are mostly losers anyway who blame others for them being such a waste.
Its sad to think this man has so many of these goofs suckered that they all follow his lead.
When is the boat leaving? Obama and his wife can be the skippers and take all his followers with him.
Heh, there you go! I propose that the Democratic Republic of Congo become their new homeland. No one seems to know how to rule the place so Obama and the gang can show up, hold rallies, teach them to chant "Yes, we can!", and turn it into a big ole nanny state. I'm being generous here -- the Congo is very rich in diamonds and minerals so they'll have plenty of money to rebuild the country.

Thomas Jefferson never said the Pledge of Allegiance.
