A personal note from the Editor: I’m a Duck. I graduated from the University of Oregon’s School of Journalism back when devices known as “typewriters” were still state of the art.
When I arrived in Eugene a stinky haze hung over the city. Locals blamed it on the local pulp mills, but what I smelled was actually the stench of liberalism.
Surely no one who’s ever attended the University of Oregon was surprised to see that the Eugene city council has come out against the Pledge of Allegiance.
One fine member of the council compared it to the Communist Manifesto. Not to be outdone, another wacko announced that she couldn’t pledge allegiance to the United States because she’s a citizen of the world.
She didn’t specify which world, but we assume she meant the third world into which we are rapidly descending.

This is a very late entry but I saw the "Eugene, Oregon" headline and having lived and gone through high school in Eugene I am not at all surprised at that liberal bastions comments on the pledge of allegiance. I now live in "fairly" conservative Southern Oregon. Our problem is the way Eugene and Portland goes, so does the rest of Oregon. Oregon, not unlike California really needs to split into North and South Oregon and California.
or eastern Oregon ( real part ) and western (wacko liberal).... or maybe divide into 1/4 NW (Eugene to Portland) and 3/4 everything else
That's , uh, almost coherent, but in the wrong thread. Please delete, butthead.
Ok we have this group of bunnies that weren't very different from other bunnies but they sang a song on sat when it was the norm to sing on sun.They would only eat blue jelly beans on some days,and never mixed them with lollipops Also when a little bunnie was born they would cut a small piece of fur off his tale as thanks for all the jellybeans, gumdrops, and all that was good in there lives. No matter where these bunnies went in the wold the other bunnies would dump on them.For thousands of years they knew not much more than pain and hardship.It got so bad that at one time a mean group of bunnies got together and actually killed 50% of these special bunnies.That made the majority of the worlds bunnies sick and got together to give the special bunnies the original lands they were chased off thousands of years before.the problem was that it was surrounded by the mutant bunnies . The mutant bunnies had not changed for thousands of years . They were mentally inferior to the others around the world and believed that only they should be able to live all other bunnies should be killed worst than that they believed the special bunnies weren't bunnies at all .They taught their mutant children to despise and blame the specials for all that is bad and if ever given a chance mutants have one duty in life they live to kill the specials.So the specials said they are bunnies and we turned this dry land that the mutants never did anything with into a lush beautiful place.All of the sudden mutant bunnies from a few of the lands around them got a look at what the specials along with the help of the freedom bunnies had built. They became insane and said they lived there it is theirs give it back.Freedom bunnies knew this was a lie and didn't even recognize them as a separate mutant bunnie group.Of course the other crazy mutant bunnies backed them up and because bunnies fro far away lands and even some freedom bunnies got their carrot juice from them they actually started to recognize the"extra crazy mutant bunnies".The special bunnies for years put up with horrible mass killings of their bunnies but the government of the freedom bunnies were always there to help their only true friends from mutant land.Then the worst thing happened the freedoms put a special hater in office.Obuma was a very ski-dish little bunnie who found out quickly how power can go to your head. because for 20yrs he had been listening to a bunnie that hated freedom and the specials he began apologizing for freedom and recognizing the lying extra crazy mutant bunnies.Even special bunnies living i freedomland started to turn on their brothers I 'm scared I think it's going to be the end of special bunnies and if the freedoms take part or just watches the destruction of the specials we cease being the freedoms. The whole world will become Sick Crazy Mutant Bunniesl

Exactly; it's a federalist experiment: a 50 state experiment. Eugene is Eugene and Denton is Denton.
If I had my way, both Social Security and Medicare would go away. The Constitution provides for life, liberty and pursuit of happiness--not retirement plans.
Children have no say in the hand they were dealt. They should have full healthcare coverage until 18. After that, it's game on: either save for your own retirement or live under a RR trestle. If ya' can't get health insurance when you're 80, then pull out a .45 and finish it. Don't be a drag on the rest of us. If granny can't pull her weight: family death panels--put her on an ice flow like the Eskimos. Screw medicare.
I used to live in Madison so I'm not surprised by this type of imbecility. Madison is a college town and its city council is dominated by socialists, feminists, vegan activists, anarchists, aging hippies and outright communists. Eugene is no different, it's just another college town dominated by left wing wackos. I don't doubt that the councilman who compared the Pledge of Allegiance to the Communist Manifesto meant it in a positive way.
Of course Madison is a progressive commune, almost nobody earns a paycheck from a private sector job. Everyone either works at the Capital, pushing papers, or they work for the University of Wisconsin. They only private buisinesses are bars/taverns/pubs. They live off of the people, but not for the people. The protests this year point toward that.
Anyone got a moonbat huntimg license?
I’d be willing to bet these clowns have never left the state of Oregon, much less visited any other part of the world. Well, I’d like to take these “citizens of the world” & “communist manifesto” clowns to some of the places us military folks have had to “survive” in. I’d like to take that dumb broad to Djibouti Africa & let her be a citizen of the world there where they live in mud huts stuccoed with camel dung!! See how she likes being a citizen of the world there! Then I’d take Mr. Communist manifesto to Kosovo & see how he likes their “freedom & pledge of allegiance”!!!!! I am so tired of liberal Demoncrats hating this country!! If they don’t like it here, I’ll gladly help them pack & buy their tickets outa here!!
I wonder if these morons are Kalifornia retreads!
Why is it all these "citizens of the world" only want to live in the American part of the world?
I'm thinking the same thing. I want to see them go live in the Syria part of the world that they are a citizen of.
I say we take one of the Navies older aircraft carriers, put all these "world citizens" aboard, and tell them to go for it, find a country that will take you and have fun running the ship. Disarm them first of course, because guns would accidentally kill everyone on board because the weapons tend to kill people.
The problem is these 'bulbs' are so dim that cannibalism would set in before the ship left port as they could not figure out how to feed themselves. Liberals - you could put them in a glass house with a hammer and an axe and they could not figure a way out.
Sounds like a bunch of fools that are educated beyond their intelligence.
