Skipping an obligation and privilege

Skipping an obligation and privilege

This was provided by a former contender for US Congress.  I heartily agree with the sentiment!  These seated congressmen and those standing but not participating -- refusing to pledge their allegiance to our flag (pictured below) -- are using our taxpayer money to disrespect us.  I say "out" with the whole lot of them!

Like I told someone recently who objected about having to buy postage stamps for sending letters to Congress, if we don't fight with our pocket change and pens now, we will have to fight some day with our swords.  Personally, I prefer using pocket change and a pen.

Another way to fight is with our votes while we still have that freedom, which we gratefully acknowledge was paid for by the blood of those who fought before us when the time for using pens had run out.

   

Skipping an obligation and privilege

More than sad, it's outrageous!  The radical left and their disrespect and hatred of what America stands for.

This is sad, sad, sad, bad enough to see it with sports, but now it is in schools and Congress….SICK!!!!  And the youngsters are being TAUGHT THIS HATRED by their teachers, parents, and others who themselves have no knowledge of and no respect for all that Americans have sacrificed for them to have a life relatively free.

If they won't stand and recite the Pledge of Allegiance, in my opinion they have no place in our Congress.

Any member of the house or senate that refuses to stand and recite the Pledge of Allegiance in the Chambers should be escorted out by the Sergeant at Arms until they comply.

  

If their allegiance is not with this country and our flag, just who is it with?  Why don’t we ask someone like Minnesota's Muslim congressman Keith Ellison?  And if it's not with America, they shouldn't be a US Congressman!  Let`s cut off their pay and all benefits. Give the ingrates two days to decide to resign or be impeached.

I disagree with the ‘retire’ option!  Why should we use tax dollars to 'support in great style' anyone that isn’t loyal to this country? ! ? ! ?    

Many taxpayers will never receive a retirement that gives them even one-fourth of what those in congress and all of the other ‘high government positions’ will receive when they retire!  And that’s only looking at the money, not adding in the other various perks - such as medical insurance / benefits.  I’m sure there are more that are hidden.
