And we wonder why the deep south is perceived as uneducated, unenlightened

Agree with LG on this one. We all have rights in this country, even the D'bags. If he doesn't want to say it, who the eff cares.

I say it every time called upon. But part of that is recognizing that others might not want to, for whatever reason.

Almost as bad as that judge in Alabama who threw that lawyer in jail for not wearing a suit.

File this question under the "I think this is true but it may be totally wrong" category, but I thought that a judge basically could set the decorum of his court room and if you did not abide then you would be in contempt of court?

True or not? If this is indeed the case, then what is the problem?

He can, but there is a line and this is over it. Expect a smack down from whatever commission Mississippi has for judges.

I actually hate the pledge of allegiance. It's complete brainwashing. It was written by an avowed socialist in the early 20th century to create nationalist sentiment. Originally you were to put your hand over your heart and then move your hand out very similar to the nazi salute which we all equate with blind and dangerous nationalism.

The part I take exception with and why I think it's brainwashing is the line "...one nation under God, indivisible..." These words were inserted to phase out "state's rights" mentality and the notion that the US is a federation of independent nation/states. Lo and behold, 100 years later the idea of 50 separate nation/states sounds absurd and people probably don't even know that's how it was ever viewed.

Don't think me some patriot-hater. I love me some "Star Spangled Banner". I just don't like the politics of the pledge.

LG, where is your "This is why California is perceived to be a state full of fruits, nuts and flakes" after the California activist judge disregarded Federal law concerning Don't ask/Don't tell?

I MAKE my students say the pledge. If they don't do it they get the evil eye and a talking to.

LG, look on the bright side... what if we all had to recite this pledge?

This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My rifle, without me, is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will...

My rifle and myself know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit...

My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will ever guard it against the ravages of weather and damage as I will ever guard my legs, my arms, my eyes and my heart against damage. I will keep my rifle clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will...

Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and myself are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is America's and there is no enemy, but peace!

Yeah, this prejudice about the south is totally justified because we all know that this kind of thing IS ONLY POSSIBLE in the south, just like school shootings and gay bashing
Right smart guy?
