Veteran can’t say Pledge to avoid offending students
The Washington Times reports that former Army Staff Sergeant Cory Schroeder a recently elected student senator at the University of Wyoming was told by fellow senators that reciting the Pledge of Allegiance would offend some of the students at the meeting.
The veteran was told that if he wasn’t happy with the Associated Students of the University of Wyoming (ASUW) government’s decision, he could write a bill to allocate 20 seconds at the beginning of the meetings to say the Pledge, Campus Reform reported.
Mr. Schroeder told the watchdog that he anticipated delays in the process by the “liberal standing committee,” and added: “If you look at any constitution that governs a student body, there’s no law, there’s no bill that states you must give 20 seconds to say the Pledge of Allegiance, [and there] shouldn’t be,” Campus Reform reported.
I’m guessing that the Iraq veteran is offended yet the Associated Students of the University of Wyoming didn’t consider that fact when they wouldn’t let him recite the Pledge. From Campus Reform;
According to Robert’s Rules of Order, which the student government follows, time may be taken out at the beginning to say the Pledge of Allegiance. Instead of saying the Pledge, however, ASUW’s mission statement is read aloud, which includes striving for “accurate representation” and “responsible effective leadership”.
Schroeder spoke with ASUW Vice President Ricardo Lind-Gonzales, who allegedly said that he would put the issue of the Pledge on the agenda and that Schroeder would be given a chance to speak about it. However, the issue was subsequently left off the agenda for the remainder of the school year.
Category: I hate hippies
I’m offended that they are offended. Perhaps they’d like to live somewhere else, like maybe Alpha Centauri b? Then I won’t have to listen to their self-serving sniveling and whining.
No surprise here. I mean we are talking about Univ of Wyoming – an extremely liberal university. Which is surprising considering how completely out in the sticks it is.
So, they are concerned about offending SOME people? What about everyone else??
Unless you belong to the Cult of Perpetual Outrage, you have no right to be offended about anything.
F*ck all hippies with a bayonet — preferably one that is both dull and rusty.
This is WYOMING? If dipshit libtardism can happen there…
He can say the Pledge. No one has to join him. When it is his turn to speak, he rises, recites the Pledge, and sits down. Done.
2/17 Air Cav…There you go Air Cav! Say his piece and then make them act on it. Stand his ground for his rights. What will they do? Take him off in handcuffs, toss him out of a State of Wyoming University when he is probably using the G.I. Bill to pay for his tuition? I think not. I think they will back down and simple be offended with their little, liberal feelings all butt hurt. Screw ’em.
Exactly. That’s how the tables get turned. Some butt heart foreign national or his I-voted-for-obama confederate will cause a ruckus, thereby interfering with the Veteran’s rights. Then, shit gets dicey and, from my perspective, fun. remember that student who was stopped from handing out copies of the Constitution on a college campus? He sued and either won or they settled. Either way, he won.
Like Aunt Bethany on National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation
What the hell has happened to my state…
SFC D…Sergeant I do feel bad for you. Wyoming has always been in my mind, one of the last strong holdouts for all things conservative along with the likes of Montana. They love their freedom and love their guns and hate federal control over state’s rights. I hope it gets better for you there. But then again, we’re talking about “higher education institutions” where liberals are sought out, hired and then praised for as much liberal ass hatery as they can come up with and publish, to warp the heads of our next generations.
By the way, when I moved out west in 1979 I broke down at an exit marked, Fort Bridger, Wyoming. Spent the night in a motel made out of old mobile homes. I could hear gunfire from the nearby tavern in the night. Hotter than two puppies f@ucking that day and the next morning…an inch of snow on the car! In late June! Seems pulling my little U-Haul had overheated the tranny and the next day it seemed fine. Didn’t realize as I was driving along I was slowly climbing higher all the while and the long, slow, almost imperceptible grade overheated the tranny fluid. Those were the the days. Made it to Cheyenne the next morning and the mechanic told me what had probably happened. Beautiful country there!
Montana, huh. We’re keeping the libtards at bay, but just barely. They win more arguments than most of us conservatives would like, but we keep after ’em. And they have some enclaves here too — Whitefish and Missoula come to mind, but there are others.
Word.
Attack of the hyphens. What a surprise that some politician in training would lie to someones face about equal time and treatment.
Beware of the Hyphen it will get you everytime.
To the ASUW: I am deeply offended that this student body refuses to respect our nation with something so simple as reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. You see, my ancestors were victims of racial and religious discrimination and outright genocide at the hands of the colonial invaders who occupied their homeland. Any attempt at resistance was brutally crushed by the occupying foreign army. The invaders used oppressive tactics, land grabs, and other forms of nasty not-niceness to create an artificial famine, murdering millions through starvation. Men were either conscripted into the colonial army as cannon fodder to soak up bullets in the never-ending wars they fought against other colonialist powers, or were shipped to penal colonies on the other side of the world, often dying in transit. Women were forced into domestic servitude or prostitution, sometimes both. Children starved in the streets and fields. That’s why my forefathers came here, to America. This nation offered them their only chance to escape the grip of the foreign colonialists and make something of themselves. Here the government did not persecute them for their choice of worship, nor imprison them for trying to feed their children. Over the generations, we have never forgotten where we came from, and why we came here. Thus, it offends me tremendously that you would disrespect the one place on Earth that offered sanctuary from colonialism. Everything I just said is true and easily verifiable. Did I include enough liberal buzzwords in there? I know how much you liberals hate words like “discrimination,” “occupation,” “colonialism,” and “racist.” Are you going to see the hypocrisy of your stated position? Or is this the part where you tell me that because my family came from Ireland instead of Mexico, Algeria, Somalia, or Palestine, that I’m somehow not eligible for your white-guilt “victim status” chickenshit? That “white people never suffered discrimination” crap? Hey, if somebody else gets special consideration because his great-great-great-great-great-great grandpa who died 125 years before he was born got shit on by some other dude, why shouldn’t I get the same hookup? By the way, I am not… Read more »

Here is a more accurate pledge. I pledge allegiance to the flag and to the oligarchy for which it stands. One nation under money. With liberty and justice for the rich and the powerful.
Stop whining and get off your ass and go make it better, if you don’t like it. Or leave. You do have choices.
The minority birth rate will do a much better job of making ameriKKKa into America then I have been able to do!
Hey dumbass… News Flash.
This country was found by imigrants.
There you go with the KKK again, VWPieceofshit. So, do you wear your klan hood in public, or do you just put it on in your parents’ basement (where we all know you live) when you and your boyfriend do your roleplaying sex shit? So what do your bedsheet -wearing ass buddies call you? Grand Dragon VWPutz?
Go fuck yourself, shitbag.
The ‘KKK” thing is what vwp tries to use to distract us from his own obvious racism. He does love it when brown people are murdered by other brown peoples, after all.
The “minority birthrate” you reference will turn this country into a third-world shithole. Responsible, productive citizens make a country, not a bunch of drugged up, knocked up, mindless welfare leeches.
Your a douchebag.
I fought for the very freedom that gives you the Right to sit in front of your computer or phone or whatever and spew the caustic shit that comes from your brain.
Do me and the rest if the world a favor and do not procreate.
Your line of thinking is nothing less than pure bullshit.
I say all of this to you sir, because I have finally had enough of you. Comment after comment after comment with nothing to contribute to the conversation except your own satisfaction at seeing people get heated.
Take your popcorn eating, stained wife beater wearing, dumb as and slit your wrists. Please. For the world’s sake.
THE LIBERALS’ PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE:
(Recited in a sniveling, whiny voice)
I pledge allegiance
To the agenda
Of 0bama, Pelosi, and Reid.
And to the confiscation
of wealth and success
Higher taxes,
More regulation,
With poverty and Government dependence for all.
You’ll want to write that down, VWPissbucket, you’ve sniffed way too much glue over the years to memorize anything!
You can move back to mexico.
Reading tah should be mandatory for any young person thinking of entering the military to see what they are in for! Whitey we kicked the klan out of the democratic party and they took their white sheets to the republican party who kicked out lincoln and brought in stom thurmond(but not stoms black daughter)
vwp, stop pretending you care about non-whites. The only reason people protested the war in Vietnam was for fear of their own asses- they couldn’t give two craps about the people in Vietnam, and stopped caring “about the children” once the Americans left.
Admit it, you are just loving the thought of Iraqis killing other Iraqis.
Yes, VWPutz, young people should read this blog. For one thing it’ll give them a great perspective on turdburglars like yourself.
As for your klan bullshit, first of all, Lincoln was dead before the first of your craven “heroes” ever hid behind a bedsheet. Second, Robert fucking Byrd. What party was that piece of shit a leader of again? How many more not-so-secretly white supremacist democrats should I name? How about Lyndon “I’ll have those n****rs voting democrat for a hundred years before they realize what’s going on” Johnson! Yes, he actually said that, on the record. Want more?
Fuck you in the ass to death, of course you like that…
VWP is a racist. No doubt about it. Mustang1LT called that pussy out about it not too long ago. Oh and VWP break your computer and fucking kill yourself.

You’re a dedicated demoKKKrat, aren’t you, VWPissbucket?
I am not rich so I am a democrat. I am not a warmonger so I am a democrat. Though we have fights about this with in the party. I am not a racist so I am a democrat. A poor person who votes republican is like a jew voting for hitler! As sun tzu said if you know your enemy and yourself you need not fear the outcome of hundred battles. If you know neither you will always lose! I will not call you my enemies ;but I still need to know what you are thinking. Evidently mostly homophobia and juvenile repressed homosexuallity.
Isn’t it funny that anti war movement tends to stop caring about the fate of the people in a country once the US troops leave.
Is a child any less dead once the North Vietnamese Army, or ISIS shoots them in the back of the head? But to the anti-war movement, that is perfectly alright. In fact, the joy you show over the idea that ISIS will be killing people in Iraq shows your true colors.
That is why we call you a racist, vwp.
You are a democrat because you are an idiot…
Sheesh, most people outgrow their childhood desires and childish behaviors when they hit about 30…
Glad to know that the gene pool has reached down to the depths to find some more bottom feeders…
vwp is the end result of multiple generations of hippie commune inbreeding and prenatal drug use.
If you’re offended by the pledge of alliance you can take your shitty ass to another country.
You won’t be missed.
The think I love about the Pledge of Allegiance is that it so economically voices the great principles of our republic: Liberty and Justice for all, in a Republic, which is a form of government deliberately instituted by men, and is not a substitute for God. That is something worth pledging allegiance to.
As for any of the little sh!ts being offended, I would point out that the students are too young to have any clear idea of whether they are offended. The reason they are in school is to learn to think for themselves, and if they are offended by the Pledge, it’s because somebody told them they are supposed to be. A reasonable adult on campus could very quickly locate the source of this nonsense, and it is not some kid.
vwp appears to be an ego-centric racist whose self-image is inflated by the number of people he makes angry. What is his goal if isn’t to make people angry; is it to teach us of the glorious revolution under a dear leader? He could go off to some workers’ paradise but that would require he move out of his parent’s basement.
I think his best contribution to society would be to shut-up while the grown-ups are speaking.
I pretty much just have pity for their kids… I could not imagine growing up in such an immature parenting environment…
I can only hope that Darwin has seen to it that they don’t reproduce…
I do not understand how an individual, who made a conscious decision, to attend an institute of higher education in the United States of America could possibly be offended by the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance. I mean, seriously, the individuals who choose to recite the Pledge, are pledging their own personal desire to align themselves with the USA, and the values upon which she is founded and (supposedly) continues to function. Listen (seriously, read the words out loud at this point) to the words… I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, ONE Nation under God [notice there is no comma=no pause there], Indivisible, with LIBERTY and JUSTICE FOR ALL!!!!! [emphasis added]. When you recite the Pledge, you are aligning yourself with other citizens of our fine country. Should an individual not wish to do this, they can simply abstain from the recitation. But, I would like to point out, remember you made a conscious decision, a choice, to COME HERE, to the USA. In some form you have already aligned yourself with we citizens. Even if you are here in the guise of treachery, treason, or terror against us, you still need to make yourself fit in to “pull the wool over our eyes.” So, either $h!t or get off the pot. You cannot come to my country and be offended by the practices we have as Americans in our own country. How dare I, you ask? Well, I may not agree with things in your country, but you know what…? I have never BEEN to Your country. If I ever did make the conscious choice to come to Your country, I would either make peace with what I don’t agree with, or I would quietly keep my thoughts to myself. I would not shout out how offended I am at every little thing your country does as a practice of your culture. That is my own problem, to be addressed by myself. That being said, if I was so offended by such little instances… Read more »
