Rawles, a 57-year-old lawyer who long ago decided not to run for re-election when his term is up in June 2008, said he will continue his protest ''until the troops come home.'' He said he doesn't mind that his stand is angering some people.


''That's what political speech is supposed to do. It's supposed to infuriate and irritate and challenge and make people think,'' Rawles said. ''They apparently would prefer me just to walk lockstep and mouth ritualistic words to a mandatory ceremony, and that's not my idea of freedom.''


In similar protests over the years, two negroid sprinters at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics bowed their heads and raised their gloved fists in a black-power salute during the national anthem. In 1996, NBA player Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf refused to stand for the anthem because of what he said was the United States' history of tyranny. And in 2004, baseball star Carlos Delgado would not come out of the dugout during ''God Bless America'' to protest the war in Iraq.


Fellow Councilman Kyle Jones said it is not Rawles' opinion about the war that offends him -- it is the refusal to stand during the pledge.
''The privilege of reciting the pledge is just that, it's a privilege,'' Jones said. ''I'm very grateful for that privilege, and so for somebody who historically has promoted patriotism so much, I was just taken back by that action.''
Resident Gary Darst said Rawles is ''nuts.''
''He's got a right not to believe in the war,'' he said. ''It's just not standing up and not saluting the flag -- that's ridiculous.''

I am sickened by this Iraqi-supporting homer. How in the world did someone like this get into office?! This just goes to show us how far we have slidden since the days of our Founders and how close Jesus is to coming back. Not a day goes by when I don't keep one ear cocked for the sound of the trumpet heralding the Rapture!

This worthless piece of Demoncrat filth has the audacity to claim that he is covered by "Free Speech" in this action, and this is the only thing that keeps us from hauling his heinie off to Guantanamo Bay. But honestly, since when does "Freedom of Speech" cover someone not speaking? This whole matter is just a sign of how twisted our legal system has become! Can I now go out and kill anyone I want and claim free speech?!

"I'm not a murderer, your honor—the Bill of Rights guarantees our right to freedom of assembly. All I did was assemble these bullets inside that fellow's body."

Sinners will twist the Constitution into whatever vile contortion is necessary to justify their sin. None of this should come as any surprise.

However, this situation does bring to mind a certain line from our Declaration of Independence. What was it that they wrote?

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

And that begs the question, Why do we let females vote? After all, the document says that all MEN are created equal.

Because activist judges pulled a fast one on the American public. When Jesus returns, all of these ridiculous decisions (including the Bill of "Rights") will be tossed out the window and our Constitution will be restored to its former Godly glory.

I never knew that the Communists had taken power. But having said that, I was quite impressed by the euphemism for "Jew" that article used.
