You're right, Manny came in feces a' flyin. I don't hate him. Just being the chimp he's supposed to be no surprises here. Any asshole can come here and pound their chest, fling poo and screech, but it takes a real chimp like Manny to kiss your highness.Quote:

How many little kids care about politics especially gay marriage? Little kids shouldn't worry about that crap. They should enjoy being kids as long as they can.
I never said a word about winehole. I'm pretty sure the only one wishing someone would kiss their ass here is you. Jesus man, I know you hate people playing forum psychology but you make it so easy. You're obviously insecure as hell on a lot of fronts and just want someone to praise you.Quote:

By being around a loving homosexual couple that the child realizes to be indistinguishable from his parents (or perhaps they are his parents) and learning in those interactions that the homosexual couple is legally prohibited from marrying, it's quite plausible to me that the child could develop his own belief that such a prohibition is unjust. The thought that a child would empathize with injustice only if told to do so by adults strikes me as fairly ridiculous; children seem to have inherent senses of justice about, unburdened by race, religion, sexual orientation, gender, or anything else. Two kids playing in a sandbox don't care that one is a girl and black and the other a boy and Jewish.
And the notion of a 10 year old using that sense of inherent injustice to become politically active seems quite plausible to me.
Speaks Russian, in French. Nice post, FWD.

Yet while you can pin point to this thread about me bitching about it, that would be at the expense of history when ppl like WH23 and Chump would do it constantly.
Infact, there doesn't go a day where WH doesn't do this to micca (bitch about projecting, then going ahead and projecting).
And about ass kissing, you've got it backwards. I never have the need for anyone to come defend me here, that's the forum progressive tactic.
Don't blame it on ideology. You and micca make easy targets of yourselves not for your beliefs, but your boorishness.

Even as a kid in junior high, it bothered me that saying the pledge of allegiance, as it seemed to be an empty exercise... an observance of tradition rather than an act of meaningful substance.
I take seriously saying to anyone words such as " I pledge my allegiance".
No one was able to make plain to me what exactly I was agreeing to/ promising by saying the pledge of allegiance and so I stopped saying it.
I am not going to pledge anything to anyone blindly.
Furthermore, I believe it is unwise to promise umwavering loyalty to any man.
What if our forefathers had not rebelled against the British? We wouldn't even be discussing the validity of the American pledge of allegiance today.
If, for example, it ever becomes unlawful for people to preach the Christian Gospel, I will break that law daily and without a moment's hesistation.
Knowing that, I cannot in good conscience pledge allegiance to the flag because my only everlasting, unwavering allegiance is with Jesus.
Good on you, angel_luv. You reflected on the tradition and what it means. That's not too common. :tu
Silly, where did you read in my post that Liberalism is to blame? I just pointed out that a certain segment of liberal posters here have this "team" concept on the board that is petty.Quote:

Life is unfair, that's what you'll say. I don't expect this to be corrected. :rollin I have no forum cop to run to!:lmao
Just pointing out, that Manny's bull had nothing to do with projection, etc, He even admitted it. He just projected whatever thought he had about me and my personality, ironincally and blathered other nonsense.
What a bunch of sissy whiny crybabies you all are.:lol
People have reflected upon it, it's just not what you want to hear.Quote:

When I make the same type of posts you do then your argument will have some legs to stand on. There's a fundamental difference in what we post and it has nothing to do with ideology. To put it another way, I've never had to make a new screen name because my posting privileges were limited due to quality of my posts.Quote:

Sure.Quote:

To pledge allegiance, is not to be subordinate, but a patriot. One is saying they are loyal to America. Loyal to the meaning of the flag with it's red for the blood shed to make this nation, the white for the purity of purpose, and the blue for the valor of the men who fought for this nation. Loyal to the republic. The republic is the sovereignty of the subdivisions of the nation. States rights, country rights, and individual rights.
I guess since democrats believe in the elitist democracy, and national control, that's why so many argue about such values. Would they pledge to a yellow flag?
Where do you get this Heart of America stuff? What does it even mean?Quote:
