I cant wait for army to come in here and leave a comment about teh lieberals before he locks it for violating the political rule. Seriously though, the "revolutionary" berets were a bit much.

Well, we have one that does it for the libs on the board, why not for the conservatives?
This is just another case of the minority forcing their views on the majority.

Oh yes, the mods are a paragon of liberalism.

Please.

It's a college, they can do what they want; it's not like they banned students from saying it in elementary school. Don't worry, your kids will still be sufficiently brainwashed by mainstream culture at least until they're 17 or 18. (The "your," in this case, is general and directed at no one in particular).

So a community college banned the pledge. There are more important things afoot.

The world is falling apart, and you guys are having a hissy fit over some COMMUNITY COLLEGE banning the pledge.

Thank God AO has someone as wise and enlightened as yourself to show us the error in "mainstream culture". Please, teach me your ways, so that I too may be enlightened.

By the same token, shouldn't these school activists be worrying about something more important than the pledge of alliegance?

Absolutely.

They can have it if they want it, but no backsies.

[CaptaiN_JacK]

Common sense would tell a normal person to simply NOT recite the pledge. Banning it went WAY too far and is an obvious attention-whore tactic.

Yes we need to concentrate on more important things like saving the world from the democrats...

When I first read it, I thought for sure it was going to be a school in the People's Republic of Berkeley. After all, those are the same idiots who told the fire department not to put flags on their engines after 9/11 so they didn't offend anyone.

hoo boy that sure was clever thanks for that gem of a zinger hot diggity!

I sincerely hope that the general conservative population is far and away more mature than that, and something can actually be accomplished the next two years.

What's left for them to screw up?

Crap on the environment? Done.
Get in bed with big business? Done.
Huge social welfare programs? Done.
Start an idiotic war with no gameplan? Done.
Spend money without any regard for the future? Done.
