Let me explain the origins a little bit more. Bellamy wrote it for a children's magazine. This was while the USA was still in the mess left by the War Between the States. He wrote it to be inclusive as possible, it didn't even mention a particular nation. It was meant to be high minded...

"I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all". That's what it was before the politicians got hold of it. Tom

How cool would it be to be the presidential aid tasked with hitting on hot starlets? Tom

Why do you Trump supporters hate American democracy and values? Tom

It didn't take me two seconds to autocorrect his autocarrot, but I got a grin out of it. Tom

Compared to Trump? Ya know, the President that you support? The Christianist? The philandering bankruptcy expert, who's greatest achievement was a reality TV game show? Which had the famous tag line "You're Fired!" I don't much care about who New Yorkers choose for mayor. But frankly, if...

Call me a Christian if you must... But I think that an extremely important function of our society, as led by the government, is taking care of weak and poor. I'm pretty sure everyone knows who is quoted as saying, "What you do for the least, you do for Me." Trump and his friends are...

Given that he was born into the disaster the Bush administration made in Afghanistan, and apparently grew up in the aftermath, I'd bet a good deal that the fundamental problem is PTSD of a profound intensity. Tom

When he shoots him in broad daylight on 5th Avenue... Or has one of his henchmen do it and he pardons them... Then you'll know who is the real power in the US is. Tom

There's an interesting situation. Trump launches a military attack, complete with jets and missiles and Navy ships. He eliminates the government in power sufficiently to allow his friend, who has a Nobel Peace Prize, to assume power. She rewards Trump with the Nobel Peace Prize he desperately...

They got rid of you, didn't they? You think that the UK is terrible. So you moved to California. Which you also think is terrible. Maybe the problem isn't everyone else? Maybe the problem is you! Get the fuck out of my country, Brit. Tom

Wait until Trump & co start handing out medals to their modern cohorts. Masked thugs from ICE. Tom

They've managed to convince millions of Americans that it's the Democrats that shut down the government and won't allow SNAP payments. That ICE agents are protecting American citizens. That Trump's tariffs will be paid by foreigners. It's hard to believe that US citizens are stupid enough to...

I doubt that is true. Trump is a useful idiot for the Deep State and Christian Dominionists. Trump's death would be a great excuse to lie and hire more masked thugs with no culpability to do their bidding. To further trash American values for the purposes of the rich Christian elite. But the...

Ironic, isn't it? He could immigrate here, to southern Indiana, and be surrounded by fellow teapartiers. But no, he wants to be Californian. He moved from UK to California, but all he can do is bitch about how terrible California is. Typical immigrant... He might as well be a Muslim in London. Tom
