Empowers your hero Ben Carson is free to tell all the lies he wants too. Look how free he can tell lies,in some countrys he would have already been killed for lying.

Nah, when it's recited every morning in school, at least in Wilkes County, the Pledge is said with Bowman's words in it.

But we've kicked God out of the schools, you know.

I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Works for me.

I feel obligated to remind you, empowers, that you went through a phase of posting the Pledge of Allegiance in dozens of threads, over and over and in every thread, for no apparent reason. I had to block YOU from posting it because of your actions.

Maybe that lawyer can explain to crazy that the first amendment doesn't apply to a privately owned website with a free forum.

you should call a lawyer and tell them that GW is infringing on your right to free speech.....better yet....just go ahead and pre-pay for the lawsuit.....it's a guaranteed win....you'll def get your money back so no worries there.....you should also write an editorial in the journal patriot about the crime being committed here.....it will help bolster your already airtight case and garner support for your cause

iT IS SAD WHEN OUR FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS SO COMPROMISED THAT EVEN THE PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE U.S. FLAG IS 'FLAGGED FOR REVIEW.'
