How ironic is it . . .

[boobooday]

That the tea partiers get together to storm congress yesterday, and begin their anti-government rally by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance?

They're so confused.

[mucifer]

1. and they got the words wrong.

[Uben]

2. Not confusion....ignorance!

Don't confuse confusion with ignorance. They aren't smart enough to see the irony of their protest.

5. I don't think they are mutually exclusive

They are most likely both.

[Hepburn]

3. And screwing it up at that! n/t

[hobbit709]

4. They can't even spell irony, much less define it.

6. From the Conservictionary...

Eyernie - n. - That form of humor that libruls always say it isn't when we say it is, and the kind we do kind of unintentionally.

7. They recite it for the "under god" bit

they're quite obsessed with this anti-Communist addition to the pledge. Truth is, many of them want a theocracy. The bible is the only basis for law in their mind and many fear hell fire if they don't take the land for Jesus.

I do worry about exactly what they're projecting, though. Republicans always project. Whatever it is they're accusing others of is exactly what they're doing. At least this makes them easy to figure out.

If you recall the Chinese campaign money scandal, while they were making a fuss about Democrats receiving foreign money from China, Haley Barbour (RNC Chairman at that time) had been on a boat outside Hong Kong trawling for dollars. It was so bad they shut the whole investigation down, because it sullied them worse than their Dem counterparts.

Given this, WTF are their plans given what they're projecting? It's difficult to decipher.

10. And they left out "indivisible"

They should have changed the last line to reflect their real views, "with liberty and justice for us, and us alone."

15. Funny thing is, that if a "bible law" were put in place....

most of them would be in jail...

8. Did you see Boner

Quote the Declaration of Independence claiming it was the Constitution. What a Moran. Of course the mob didn't notice.

11. hey the only one of the bill of rights you need is the second one

Some asshat wrote something in the editorial of our local fish wrap today about how it should be illegal for newspapers to endorse political candidates.

Ah yes another one FAILS the US Citizenship test.

[salguine]

13. The Pledge of Allegiance pledges allegiance to a piece of cloth, not the government. Frankly,

I'm not sure which is worse.

[Arkansas Granny]

14. . . . and to the republic for which it stands.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all

16. You should always read the ENTIRE article.....
