It seems to be a mindset in my country that NOONE would ever recite a pledge like that and not mean it.  I remember Watergate; how the Nixon Whitehouse demanded "Loyalty oaths" from all the people who worked there.  Lets see.....I have to demand a loyalty oath from my workers.....if I was worth being loyal to, why would I have to do that?
In a musical vein; Listen to the words of CSN&Y's "OHIO"- that's as good a statement of the predicament of a loyal opposition as any I've ever heard.  BTW; a 19TH century British Prime Minister (I'm not sue whic one anymore, Gladstone, Disraeli, or Palmerston) said something to the effect that a government that didn't have a loyal opposition was seriously flawed; I agree.

sporkme:
i could write a book about those idiots, but i'd rather just sum it up like this:

THE PEOPLE WHO TOOK THE PLEDGE TO COURT, THE JUDGE WHO RULED IN THIER FAVOR, AND ANYONE SUPPORTING THEM NEEDS TO SHOOT THEMSELVES IN THE HEAD

====NOT BECAUSE I DISAGREE====

BUT BECAUSE IT IS THE STUPIDEST FUCKING WASTE OF TIME EVER, ESPECIALLY WHEN FREAKS ARE FLYING AIRPLANES INTO BUILDINGS

i am not religious, and i never gave a fuck anyway!
those bastards

thank you, and good evening
