I have some liberal hippy wannabe giving me shit on FB. I post a link about saying the pledge in schools. Everyone "likes" it and shows support. Then we have one douche that decides to speak out against it. Anybody that wants to jump this dudes shit, feel free to do so. He is an old school acquaintance. Always thought he was a good bit off. No loss on my part. Here is where I am:

I remember doing this. I am ashamed we are not allowed to do so anymore. God bless the USA!
Share this if you used to do this... and think we should still do this.

Jason Smith Okay... I'll bite. *Why* should kids still be forced to do this? I'd like to hear your reasoning.

Jason Smith Sorry... I guess "forced" was a bad choice of words. However, if a child chooses not to stand, he/she runs the risk of being judged and becoming a social pariah. That kind of pressure isn't very comfortable, and completely unnecessary for young children, IMNSO.

Jason- This is America. We should be pledging allegiance to America. Not Mexico, not China, not any other nation. Our kids are being desensitized a little bit at a time. It is becoming the norm to ignore how this country was founded. ...See More

Phil Hicks Not necessarily. Just an unpatriotic American in my eyes. This is your right. This is my opinion.

Phil Hicks It is not a "love it or leave it" argument. It is simply my opinion. You asked me to elaborate on "my reasoning". I am sorry if our opinions do not coincide. That is what is great about this country. We do not have to all think alike.

Jason Smith And why am I an "unpatriotic American" just because I'm not into as symbols as you are? Not to mention, you gave me the exact phrase of the pledge which backs my view that it shouldn't be said in schools anyway. That whole pesky separation of church and state thing.

Phil Hicks Tolerance? I believe many people have freedoms in this country to believe what they choose. This doesn't make it right or wrong. This makes it their freedom of choice. I believe tolerance is 98% of this nation biting their tongues for the minute percentage that want to spit in the eye of our founding fathers and burn the flag or speak against it. Tolerance is not what made this nation what it is. If tolerance were our motto, we would still be part of England. We were "Back to Back World War champions" for crying out loud. lol
