Oregon School Removes Pledge, Stirs National Outcry

The right around the country never seems to tire of amusing itself by calling us "Oregon Liberals" any manner of names. When the principal of an elementary school decided to remove the pledge from year-end ceremonies, most local parents were fine with the decision. Look around the country, though, and it seems it set off quite a firestorm.

They didn't skip on saying anything patriotic, mind you. Instead of the Pledge of Allegiance the children sang the preamble to the Constitution. Personally, I would rather they learn the Constitution over a pledge. And remember, it's over two words that weren't even part of the original pledge. "Under God" was added in the 1950s supposedly to contrast America with the godless Communists of the Soviet Union.

The principal decided to skip the pledge to make the ceremonies more all-inclusive. She didn't expect all the craziness, I'm sure. And not one Muslim complained about the pledge. The comments that follow I found in a few moments using google. Read them and think about what kind of person would react like this. They are copied word for word, I didn't correct the spellings or grammar.

This country is full of traitorous bastards and it is high time that patriotic Americans took this country back from the politically correct, leftist, liberal, anti-American scum,

Send them the heck back to Kenya, Iran and where ever else in the 57 Caliphates if they don't want to respect Our Country to which they have chosen to come too. Fire the Principal Immediately and prosecute him for being a Traitor to his Country and Assisting Terrorists! Ship him to Iran with his bleeding heart and see how long IMA NUTJOB puts up with him.

Might be time for us to excise the People's Republik of the West Coast? California, Washington and Oregon seem to all be drowning themselves in the trough of politically correct multi-culturalism.
This is a travesty.
