umm, ok.....as the child of working PARENTS, i still know the pledge of allegiance and national anthem by heart. so please stop generalizing. and to tell you the truth, i'd rather have REAL patriots working to keep america's borders safe, working to provide decent jobs and health care and educational for ALL, then have some right winger go on about how they're so patroitic b/c they can sing the words to a song written in tune that only mariah carey and a six yr old can hold properly, but they don't do anything on a regular basis to help our country. and i mean help as in getting off their duffs and doing what they can to see to it that their fellow citizens can live to see another day. hard to get ppl on your side when they're too cold, tired and hungry to think straight, let alone fight for their right to vote by a two party system.
and to tell you the truth, i didn't know that teacher was in the word parent. teachers ARE responsible for TEACHING. parents are responsbile for PARENTING. too bad one can't do it's job b/c the other is too busy telling the rest of the world how to live.
i'm glad for those left leaning liberals. if they hadn't fought against the status quo i wouldn't be able to look at your post today and shake my head at the wonderment that is your lack of tolerance and stupidity that conformity is the best thing ever. so remember to hug a liberal and thank them for making sure that you can say what you want and not be persecuted for it. that is, if you're NOT a white male, something that MOST of the world is not.
personally, i'm a fan of America the Beautiful. but that's just me.
