A Progressive Pledge?

                According to the National Review (via Campus Reform), a professor of American civilization at Metropolitan State University of Denver requires his students to recite a slightly modified version of the Pledge of Allegiance at the start of each class.

                Among the statements in this oath he devised are:  the United States is reserved for “Republicans,” and that the nation is repressed “under Jesus.” It continues apace, claiming that its constitution offers “curtailed liberty and justice for all except blacks, homosexuals, women who want abortions, Communists, welfare queens, tree-huggers, feminazis, illegal immigrants, children of illegal immigrants, and you, if you don’t watch your step.”

                This is the exact opposite of reality. Republicans are constantly bashed and slandered. It is a sport amongst the elite media.  We certainly aren’t repressed by Jesus. Look at our movies and television, books and society at large. What is true is that we have repressed Jesus.

                If Mohammad was treated they way Jesus is in American popular culture, by now there’d be no studios or television stations left to continue the sacrilege…or viewers left to see it.

                There is a black man in the White House. We elected him. Twice. He is called “the President of the United States of America” and is supposed to be the leader of the free world. Fifty years ago, homosexuality was considered a mental illness, and now we have gay marriage. Abortion is not only still legal, many women want others to pay for it. Welfare queens, tree-huggers, and feminazis are all thriving.

                And that ‘black’ President? He just went around the constitution and the Congress in an attempt to grant amnesty to millions of illegal aliens.

                Communists? Communists, socialists, Marxist-Lenninists and the like are in academia, government and everywhere else. Socialists are firmly in control of the Democratic Party. We are in the process of normalizing relations with Castro’s Cuba.

                And this despite the fact that these ideologies have brought nothing but wont, suffering and death to every country that has ‘embraced’ them. In 1913, under the Czars, Russia was a net grain exporter. The ‘glorious’ October Revolution came about in 1917, and the Marxists took over. Stalin was named general secretary in 1922. Subsequently, under his communist leadership, up to seven million people starved. Russia literally went from net grain exporter to cannibalism in a little over ten years.

                There is one group that does have to be careful of what they say or risk facing abuse and oppression: people who disagree with these politically-correct, mainstream-media, elitist, coastal views. Pastors and Priests are being prevented from stating their biblicly-backed beliefs on homosexuality. Writers and commentators are being enjoined from publicly disagreeing with the idea of ‘climate change’ or ‘global warming.’ Conservative groups are being targeted by the IRS. The mythical ‘one-percent’ are being savaged. Tea Party members are being slandered as ‘Tea-Baggers.’ Democratic candidates sneeringly aver that those in the American Heartland “cling to their God and their guns.” (Though they, while certainly capitalizing the ‘D’ in Democrat, probably wouldn’t capitalize the ‘G’ in God. They ironically booed His late inclusion in their platform at their 2012 convention).

                Let’s pledge allegiance to sanity and logic, history and the truth.
