Student trustees at Orange Coast College ban the Pledge of Allegiance.
The wisdom of the youth summed up in this one's quote:
"That ('under God') part is sort of offensive to me," student trustee Jason Bell, who proposed the ban, told Reuters. "I am an atheist and a socialist, and if you know your history, you know that 'under God' was inserted during the McCarthy era and was directly designed to destroy my ideology."
It's so cute to hear college students who've grown up in America say they're socialists. But don't anyone tell him that it was actually more that communism ideology that was under attack during the McCarthy era. And that socialism and communism have been responsible for millions of deaths worldwide. Don't want to burst his little bubble now.
This is the price of freedom. God bless America. (Hope I didn't offend anyone.)

How silly.
Many in this young generation feel very proud to be wearing the socialist badge nowadays as though it were a grand and noble cause. The body count under socialism means nothing to them, since they don't revere life - especially those who disagree with them. All expendable and furthers their noble cause.
How scary.
Posted by: Mutti at November 10, 2006 07:59 AMIt's easy to be a socialist when you're a poor student who ain't got nuttin'. The socialism tends to wane once they get a "real" paycheck and see a big chunk taken out for social security and mediscare, before they even get to the "regular" income tax.
And if they're lucky enough, they'll get to experience the alternative minimum tax. It could be enough to cause them to convert to conservatism.
