The president whose legacy is partly defined by three words -- "no new taxes" -- seems to care little about the ubiquitous pledge that touts the same phrase. In an interview with Parade magazine to be published Sunday, former President George H.W. Bush pans the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, the Grover Norquist-backed anti-tax oath that politicians sign to promise they will never vote for a tax increase. In the 112th Congress, 238 representatives and 41 senators -- all but three of them Republicans -- have taken the pledge. "The rigidity of those pledges is something I don’t like," Bush said.

The video and article are worth the read. Humor works and got him and some running mates, a new gig, as mayor and members of city hall!

An appellate court has rejected arguments that the pledge of allegiance violates the wall of separation between church and state. Judge Bea said schools do not require students to recite the pledge. When I was 10 I was given detention for asking what the words actually meant and refusing to stand until I understood. Even without this phrase "under God" the pledge is designed to inculcate the most nefarious form of idolatry, the worship of an omnipotent, omniscient omnibenevolent government.

The Pledge is this: "I shall always do my best to take part in only actions that do not require anyone to suffer harm and I will support others in our community who endorse this Pledge."

Perhaps an introduction to the ideas of liberty to liberals and statists?

When a citizen requests the cops take away a loose dog she has chained up in her yard, she ends up regretting her decision as the cops inhumanely shoot the dog.

This is a video (out now) and book (coming soon) on the production cycle, from extraction to disposal. The video is simple and cartoonish and obviously made to reach kids. Would love for the FTL guys to watch it and spend a segment or two commenting on it as it comtains some truth, and some not-so-truths.

Some particularly appalling quotes from the video are, "it's the government's job to watch out for us and to take care of us..that's their job."

"Extraction is a fancy word for natural resource exploitation, which is a fancy word for trashing the planet", according to the video.

I'm in 9th grade at Booker High School in Sarasota, FL. In my first period class every morning over the intercom a voice says "Now, Booker High students please stand for the pledge." Well my friend and I sat, and didn't say anything. We believe the pledge is a waste of time and we have a right not to stand because of our beliefs. My teacher saw us and told us to stand, but we refused. So he pulled my friend and I out of class and scolded us "Now, I don't care what you believe in!! It's school policy to stand! SO STAND." Well I have a right not to stand.

OOPS Sorry this is old news. The new date on the video made me think it was new.....I wish I could delete this. A young man decides to visit his brother in jail. Instead he is severely beaten and burned because he forgot he had a cell phone in his pocket.
