[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Policing" this is an older white people thing.

Must have obedience or they'll tell you to have respect and "put you in your place".

This country was founded in the context of slavery and white privilege - (but also by great well-read men who understood great ideas and the weakness of man) - and won't be truly free until a kid can say "absolutely not" when Mr Perkins tells him to stand and pay worship to some symbol, iconography or leader.

As the military PP said - people have fought for us to have that right.   The Nazis did not win.  The slave-owners of the south did not win.   The fact we had mercy on the vanquished is what allows the current authoritarian tendencies to persist and bubble back up.   Jingoism is dangerous.  On this July 4th we'd all do well to remember what ideals of freedom this county was founded on -  and making a kid swear allegiance sure isn't part of that.[/quote]

Unfortunately, leftist communists and marxists are doing all they can to destroy our country and ideals.

It is sad.[/quote]
