City Board of Supervisors member refuses to recite the pledge of allegiance
Topics: Political News and commentariesI didn't identify the city in the title because it's simply not necessary. Just reading that a city's Board of Supervisors member refuses to recite the pledge of allegiance should be sufficient enough of a clue that it's got to be that bastion of nutty, unpatriotic, flaming liberal progressiveness - San Francisco
:
Kim's objection to the pledge, she says, is that the ideals it speaks of are not reality, specifically its conclusion, which says "with liberty and justice for all." Kim says the nation is just not there yet.Such nonsense is not new to the board. Kim's predecessor, Chris Daly, would say the pledge but not utter the words "under God.""I don't believe we are a nation with liberty and justice for all -- yet," Kim told The San Francisco Examiner on Tuesday. "So a lot of my work is motivated by wanting to be a part of achieving that ideal."
Before being elected to the Board, Kim served as the president of the San Francisco Board of Eduction. Before that, she served as an attorney with the Lawyer's Committee for Civil Rights (whose "about" section includes progressive key words) and her bio lists a heading titled, "From Community Organizer to Elected Legislator" (hat tip - The Blaze)
So, another community organizer ... I could've guessed as much. Although I'm not so much p**sed that she refuses to say the pledge (apparently Ms. Kim is unaware that the Pledge of Allegiance was written by a fellow socialist) as much as I am her saying there's no "justice and liberty for all" in America.
And since Kim thinks America is not a land of liberty and justice for all, perhaps she should move to China, Russia, Iran, Pakistan, Somalia, Cuba ... or better yet - Egypt today.
