Yeah, I know. "Psycho Hose Beast Professor" is getting pretty much redundant.

From the Daily Texan comes this letter:

Pledge for the workers



My daughter, who is 11, and I were delighted at the California court decision omitting the words "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance. She and I have always been uncomfortable saying the pledge, not only because of the religious imposition, but because it seems very strange to pledge loyalty to a scrap of cloth representing a corrupt nation that imposes its will, both economic and military, around the world by force. So she inspired me to rewrite the Pledge. Imagine schoolchildren every day reciting the following:

"I pledge allegiance to all the ordinary people around the world,

to the laid off Enron workers and the WorldCom workers

the maquiladora workers

and the sweatshop workers from New York to Indonesia,

who labor not under God but under the heel of multinational corporations;

I pledge allegiance to the people of Iraq,

Palestine and Afghanistan,

and to their struggles to survive and resist

slavery to corporate greed,

brutal wars against their families,

and the economic and environmental ruin wrought by global capitalism;

I pledge allegiance to building a better world

where human needs are met

and with real liberty, equality and justice for all."

The original pledge does not include or represent us godless radicals. The backlash against the California decision shows just how thin our democracy is.

I would like to think it was a parody, a satire on the lunatic left, but I'm afraid it's not. This creature has an 11-year-old daughter, who she is obviously poisoning as certainly as if she was putting rat bait in her food. Since she's only annihilating a young mind, and not a body, nobody cares.

Of course, it should not escape our notice that this Marxist monster--and yes, she is a Marxist--is also doing her damndest to destroy the minds of hundreds, if not thousands of other kids (and getting paid for it), but I think we've already established that nobody gives a rat's ass about that any more.

Again, I am thunderstruck that Marxism is not only tolerated, but approved on our campuses.

As a contrast, places like Bob Jones University, which has, or had, their own set of intolerant ideas--but in this case intolerant ideas officially certified as such by the Left--are abhorred by one and all, and politicians can be raked over the coals for simply having given a speech there.

This is hypocrisy on a nearly cosmic level, and I can't get over the fact that not only don't most people see it, they look at me like I'm talking in Swahili if I bring it up. This is how effective the leftist brainwashing has been in our nation.

Tammy Bruce wrote a good column on this, which I found on the way to something else.
