| Fury is brewing at Rocky Mountain High School, in Colorado, after a multicultural student group were encouraged to recite the Pledge of Allegiance over the loudspeaker in Arabic - replacing ´one nation under God´ with ´one nation under Allah´. Following Monday´s pledge, Principal Tom Lopez has been inundated with complaints from outraged parents concerned that saying the Pledge in any language other than English is unpatriotic. Standing by his controversial decision, Principal Lopez has said that despite the irate telephone calls and emails, he is not in any way or form trying to push an

Indeed...and did they give earplugs to the gay students? Or just elicit promises nobody would be defenestrated afterwards, as the Saudis used to favor?

Wondering if the principal has gotten a head start on the pot smoking in Colorado.
Gov. Hickenlopped wants a new face for Colorado.
He can begin with this principal, next a teacher half naked on her twitter feed, smoking weed, and a general all around disregard for honor, integrity, and patriotism.

Principal Lopez sounds like one of those mad dog racist La Raza types who wants to take over the southwest and murder all the whites. He probably figures that the Islamonazis can help him achieve that goal and they can divide up the spoils.

This school allowed the pledge to be recited in Spanish and French so under that precedent, no big deal here and shame on those who are "outraged." If it was said in Arabic the quote in the headline is inaccurate. Allah is merely Arabic for God. In Spanish it would be Dios, in French Dieu.

Our God is not the god that the muslim terrorists kill for.
So you can´t translate straight across.
We have one God, one flag and one Constitution. If you want something different, go thru the channels to amend our Constitution or go to some desert and bow to allah.

The pledge of allegiance to the American flag, to the republic and to the one nation which it represents is being used to hyphenate America and we should be ashamed of our outrage? If I were to go to another country with the intent of becoming a citizen there, I would never dream of pledging my allegiance or singing their national anthem in anything other than their - and by choice, my - national language. Anything less would be an ugly and arrogant action.

The Islamic nations refused to endorse the 1948 UN Declaration of Human Rights. Instead they met in Cairo in 1991 and issued their own declaration. Their declaration states that there are only human rights in Islam.
There is a good reason why Sir Winston said that "Islam is the most retrograde force on earth."

The link is working just fine now, for me anyway. They discussed this on The Five today and Dana Perino didn´t have a problem with it. Sometimes she shocks me. Everyone is so excited about "celebrating diversity" that they lose sight of the outrageousness of this. They don´t think there´s anything wrong with One Nation Under Allah??? It stuns me what is now acceptable in this country.

There should be no reference to a religion in the Pledge of Allegiance at all. It wasn´t written with that in mind - in fact, there was no mention of God in the original Pledge.
Once you start adding God into things like this, you then give permission to others to add their own versions.

I was hoping to find some cogent reason for me to be outraged, but I haven´t found one here, in the comments...If, indeed, the students said, in whatever language, that they pledged their allegiance to our beloved country, I just can´t see what the problem is.
I´m willing to work up a good head of steam, but I need something other than "OMG, Arabic!!!"

Allah delights in innocent civilian flight attendants being killed with box cutters ("Alu Akbar!").
The only reason Marxists druids unite with Islaamic militants is they share a hatred of the U.S. (2nd only to Jews).
The day I pledge allegiance to "Allah" is the day Mohammed admits to being a pedophile.

Twenty-nine current or former Harper students have been shot in the last year, eight of them fatally, her office said. The school is in the West Englewood neighborhood.

NORFOLK, Va.— A top general says federal budget cuts that will ground one-third of the U.S. Air Force´s active-duty force of combat planes including fighters and bombers means "accepting the risk that combat airpower may not be ready to respond immediately to new contingencies as they occur."Gen. Mike Hostage, commander of Air Combat Command at Joint Base Langley-Eustis in Virginia, issued the warning Tuesday as the Pentagon braces for more effects of the automatic spending cuts triggered by the lack of a budget agreement in Washington.

I don´t mean in a Nazis vs Communists, Hitler vs Stalin, way. I mean in a moderate way: Conservative activists vs Labour activists, you might say. It´s difficult to imagine Conservative activists behaving like the people who celebrated Margaret Thatcher´s death in Glasgow and Brixton. That´s partly because it´s hard to think of any Left-wing leader who had as powerful an effect on the country as she did. But, still, between them, Harold Wilson and Jim Callaghan – with quite a lot of help from Edward Heath – led to a disastrous decline in British fortunes in the 1970s,

House Republican leaders on Wednesday criticized President Obama for conditioning the entitlement reforms in his budget on GOP support for higher taxes. While they said Obama “deserves some credit” for including entitlement reforms in his spending blueprint, they said the president shouldn’t hold the plan “hostage” in the debate over tax revenues. “While the president has backtracked on some of his entitlement reforms that were in conversations that we had a year and a half ago, he does deserve some credit for come incremental entitlement reforms that he has outlined in his budget,” Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) told reporters Wednesday

The U.S. Postal Service on Wednesday said it will delay a cost-cutting plan to end Saturday mail delivery, following congressional action that blocked the effort. Congress passed a temporary federal spending bill last month including language that prevents the agency -- which lost $15.9 billion last year -- from going to a Monday-to-Friday mail delivery schedule. The agency, which wanted to begin the new schedule Aug. 5, said the decision was made Tuesday by its board of governors. “By including restrictive language in the Continuing Resolution, Congress has prohibited implementation of a new national delivery schedule,”

President Obama´s budget plan would increase taxes by $580 billion over the next decade, but it relies on many proposals that have been repeatedly rejected by Congress. Some were rejected as recently as January, when Congress voted to make permanent a series of tax cuts first enacted under President George W. Bush. Among them, a proposal to limit itemized deductions for high-income families. One new proposal is a 94 cents-a-pack increase in the cigarette tax. The tax would raise an estimated $78 billion over the next decade to pay for early childhood education.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes.

Congress and the American people need to know what happened the night of Sept. 11, 2012. Who did the killing and what was their motive? Why wasn´t help sent? And why did the administration lie about who was responsible?

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.

Margaret Thatcher had more impact on the world than any woman ruler since Catherine the Great of Russia. Not only did she turn around—decisively—the British economy in the 1980s, she also saw her methods copied in more than 50 countries. "Thatcherism" was the most popular and successful way of running a country in the last quarter of the 20th century and into the 21st. Her origins were humble. Born Oct. 13, 1925, she was the daughter of a grocer in the Lincolnshire town of Grantham. Alfred Roberts was no ordinary shopkeeper.

Myron Ullman, Johnson´s predecessor at JCPenney, takes office as CEO. When Johnson was initially wooed by JCPenney, it was to serve as CEO with Ullman as Chairman. In January 2012, Ullman was unceremoniously removed from the board. Gone with Ullman was any control the Board of Directors had over Ron Johnson and his control of JCPenney resources.
