Some good comments there. Does this mean American who do understand their rights and the whole point of having a constitution are simply invisible to the general public?
Maybe they've been Photoshopped out, like the working class.

I'm sure that 'pledge' is the reason for America's collective insanity. It's not difficult to brainwash children--just look at its counterpart: Hitler Youth. 'Stand up and and tell us how free you are, or I'll shoot y'all'. The extreme irony is of course lost on the generally cretinous American population.
The mob is more powerful than any law.

Because they are Americans - the biggest, toughest, meanest, best armed, most tattooed, most numerous - all the superlatives.
You can't imagine they would mingle with lesser beings?

Oddly enough, the people who refuse to take the oath and stand up for their rights are also Americans. I admire them.

Americans are the only people on Earth who understand freedom and democracy compared to the rest of you heathens.

Heathen are the only ones with freedom of religion.

I told you all that Americans don't understand it.

LOL

Bib just keeps giving and giving.

I was specifically referring to "uncultured" and "uncivilized."
