Nikki Haley

@8... Standing for the Pledge? As a Federal "law"? Ain't gonna happen.
I don't care if an employer was paying $70-100 an hour, I would not work there if they made us stand for their company pledge every shift.

You are correct. Never gonna happen.

As an employer. If I was paying you 70-100 per hour and wanted you to stand for a company pledge every shift. I would happily fire you if you refused.

But as you know. Being an employee and being an American citizen are two completely different things.

NIKKI HALEY RUNS AWAY AFTER GETTING CONFRONTED ABOUT HER PAC DONATIONS FROM DEMOCRAT MEGADONOR AND JEFFREY EPSTEIN ASSOCIATE.

Headline of the day !

She ran away ? No comment ?

Given the circles I run in & meetings I attend.... I probably say it 4-5 times a month. I can assure you, anyone who didn't (in these meetings) would be immediately escorted to the door.

I don't think I've ever recited the pledge of allegiance. Not because I refuse, but because I've never been in a situation where I'd been expected to. I might have said it to myself to see if I knew it. I've heard it enough times that I can't possibly not know it.

If I ever become a citizen I'll definitely say it then.

"Msm seems to be pushing Nikki, that's enough for me to not vote for her"

MSM does not mean what you're being told. You're being fooled by the one who loves being in the news all day , every day.

Standing for the Pledge? As a Federal "law"? Ain't gonna happen.

I don't care if an employer was paying $70-100 an hour, I would not work there if they made us stand for their company pledge every shift.

@2much, if the Twitter files didn't show it I don't know what does. Then you saw all kinds of suppression of the COVID fiasco. That's all I need.

@2...I would add the government gets their scientific data from the SLS scientists for oil, covid, solar, EV's, patriotism, border control to name a few

"And it's been proven the govt uses msm and social media to promote or suppress whatever they want"

@Flip - Can you back up that statement and tell us where the proof is?

Some moron here said...Blacks and Muslims don't say the pledge....and this from a Putin supporter

And it's been proven the govt uses msm and social media to promote or suppress whatever they want. It's not just Dems btw, both sides do it.

MSM can't tell you what to think, but they absolutely can tell you what to think about..

They shouldn't be pushing anything, however that's exactly what they do.

I don't know how many schools don't. I know our local ones don't. At least in high school.

“The comment to me simply shows me that her and I agree on the fundamental idea that America comes first and should be taught from day one.”

So how does reciting the pledge reflect America coming first?

How is making this mandatory, when it is already being practiced just about every where making it more important (for the lack of a better word)?

"Msm seems to be pushing Nikki, that's enough for me to not vote for her"

Really? Even if she was the best candidate? I like you too much to tell you that you're being ridiculous, at least this early in the day, but it's definitely a trip into backwards land.

If they're pushing Haley, it's because she has some momentum, unlike DeSantis, who is like a party balloon four days after the party, or Christie, who's a no hoper. Media mostly follows rather than leads, so isn't it conceivable that rather than pushing they're just dragging along in her wake, reporting on her doings?

I seen a funny political cartoon today . A Karen type person is seeing a bunch of protestors burning the American flag …she has a huge grin . She is happy. Then another day she sees a bunch of veterans and ordinary people parading with American flags and she is on the phone shaking calling the police. … This is the way it is today.

That we need to be more concerned about American and its citizens than what is happening in other countries

@2outdoors , I agree. This is who we are.

"the fundamental idea that America comes first"

Sounds patriotic but what does that specifically mean ?

Maybe we have a different idea as to the fundamental idea of what the United States stands for...

The comment to me simply shows me that her and I agree on the fundamental idea that America comes first and should be taught from day one. Standing for the pledge should be mandatory in my eyes.

"Victor Davis Hanson of American Greatness released a good article yesterday ( A Culture In Collapse ) his opinion on most of this."

Long on rhetoric and short on specifics.

In other words, a steaming pile of nonsense...

Not sure it’s a culture war thing. More of an easy headline of apple pie, baseball, and Merica. Seems like it’s already being said just about every where. It’s an easy Hell ya! But it’s really a great big nothing burger.
