Re: Child escorted out of class by police for sitting during the pledge, mother outra
I should have clarified. Obviously, it depends on the person's reasons for not saying it. If they aren't saying it because they hate this country then they obviously don't give a rat's ass or recognize the fact that they are able to do so because of our freedoms in this country.
Which is precisely why I fail to see how choosing not to recite some words somehow makes one unpatriotic or less patriotic than those who choose to say those words. Personally, I find the words to be generic. You can recite them all day long, but if you don't actually feel what you are saying or find it boring and archaic, it doesn't really matter whether you say them or not, does it?
Absolute hogwash.
Is there reasons why someone can choose to not say the pledge that make that act patriot. Simply saying "those that don't say it are Just as patriotic" is absolute bull****.

Patriotic is the embodying in action of patriotism. Patriotism is a the devoted love, support, and defense of ones country or national loyalty.
