Seattle Boos At Reciting Pledge of Allegiance

As I noted in the Charlton Heston thread. The moral fiber of some in the leftist ranks really are tattered. Further proof:

There was some time to kill as multiple tallies of the delegates and alternates were done, and when the time-killer of taking audience questions had run its course and the idea of teling jokes had been nixed, someone suggested doing the Pledge of Allegiance to pass the time. (Are you listening, right-wing bloggers? This is going to get good.)

At the mere mention of doing the pledge there were groans and boos. Then, when the district chair put the idea of doing the Pledge of Allegiance up to a vote, it was overwhelmingly voted down. One might more accurately say the idea of pledging allegiance to the flag (of which there was only one in the room, by the way, on some delegate’s hat) was shouted down.

Groans and boos at doing the Pledge of Allegiance….a pledge for a country many have died to defend.

But lets not question their patriotism.

has more on the futher shananigans at the caucus including Sean Astin using Obama’s middle name to rally Hillary supporters. Really no reason to use that name because we all know Presidents are never referred to using their middle name right?

Yes, yes…I know why he and others are doing it but if Obama is elected does anyone really think that name wont be included when people talk about him? Every President is referred to using that middle name so….Obama supporters….get used to it.

I found an interesting comment on this one over on Politico.com: “I was at the 43rd. I’m sure we all would have pledged allegiance had 1. there been a flag, and 2. it wasn’t proposed to us as filler while we were waiting forever and ever for the Hillary Surrogate the hobbit to arrive. We were bored and annoyed and booing every filler proposed, including jokes.” That puts things in a different light, I think…

Actually, I’m somewhat offended that someone would think the Pledge of Allegiance mere “filler.” It should be far more serious than that. If I were a bit more hardcore about the phrase “under God” in the Pledge–and be careful in what you assume from that statement–I might well refuse to say (at least that portion of) the Pledge anyway.

Having said that, I would probably have opposed some gratuitous “hey, let’s show how patriotic we are” display on general principle. I don’t wear a flag pin in my lapel, I don’t fly a flag from my home, and I don’t have flag decals or yellow ribbons on my car. Heck, I don’t even have the “VETERAN” license plate to which I’m entitled. I love my country, but I don’t have to prove that to anyone.

I was born and raised in Seattle and left as an adult. By some sort of miracle, I did not catch the lefty disease. I live in CA now and due to my immunity, am able to live my life, disease free. Seattle people are embarrassing.

How’s that work exactly: ‘Real patriots don’t pledge their allegiance to America”?

Better question, how does one go from
concern to disapprove to opposition to activist opposition to this?

…and what is the next level of “dissent”

Of course they didn’t want to say the Pledge. They don’t even know the words. And if they didn’t even have a flag that says quite a lot too. Doesn’t every school have a flag?

I’m sure they could have rustled up a UN or Cuban flag somewhere.

Shameful in Seattle.

(With all due respect, wesmorgan - IMO it’s when our country is at war that we DO have to show our love of country. Every chance we get. Having said that - I don’t question your patriotism and I sincerely thank you for your service. God bless you and God bless America, land that I love.)
