I have been hearing much about those not adhering to proper protocol when the pledge to our flag is recited.
I don’t see it as disrespect to the flag of our country but as a protest to the many improper and corrupt things that happen every day here in the USA.
Burning the flag is in the extreme but it does reflect how deeply some feel about injustices.
One such injustice will probably be the soon to come destruction of The Affordable Care Act: More tax cuts for the rich and big trouble for the deprived.
They, and we know who they are just laugh about the dire straits of their fellow human beings.
As, What are you going to do about it?
As is said, one has the right to remain silent in certain instances but one also has the right not to remain silent which amounts to acceptance.
One has a duty to speak the truth.
In the pledge to our flag, skip to the part where ‘Under God’ has been inserted. Our Constitution begins with Our Creator. Our Creator is our only legitimate God ,which is or should be understood.
Too many have their small limited perception of the real reality.
There are a multitude of ‘undergods’ around: the reason for separation of church and state.
We are primarily considered to be a democracy. There have been reasons in the past for aspects of being a republic to exist: Re (the) public.
Fun was being made of the millenials who so strongly supported Bernie Sanders.
Never before has this age group and many others who are older been so well educated and informed. This has eliminated much of the need for republic aspects as in the past.
Bernie Sanders actually won the Democratic primary.
We know the ones who have nothing doing with that and Bernie was defrauded.
Skip to the last line of the pledge to our flag: Justice for All.
One can hear them saying “What is this with Justice for All?”
One can sense their expletives: Foofaw! Gwoosch! Snort! Scrumph! Justice for All? Is he kidding?
Are these individuals part of the human race?
The thought came to me that perhaps aliens don’t have navels. Maybe they should have their bellies examined.
At any rate, for decades now Bernard Sanders and James Carter among many others stand out as shining examples of how those in government should be.
