What a shameful display.Our elected officials disrespecting America.Why do people vote for these bags of shit?Think about it.Some of us are to blame.Or I guess MOST of us,if they got elected to begin with.THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE PEOPLE!We must keep our country alive,or we will die with it.
This video is not shocking in respect to the actions they are taking, we have always known they are hurting America and act against what we stand for. The shocking thing is that they are showing this fact. A person will only not cooperate with their enemies, which is America to the liberals.
I agree with you, I think we need to think about who we vote for before we vote, we have such limited opportunity to sway anything politically in this country, the one small thing we can do is vote.
All the party needs to do is return to actual Conservative principals, instead of worrying about controlling the choices made by small segments of society (gays, those who choose to have abortions, etc.). We're letting social issues get in the way of issues which really are important to our whole nation. In doing so, the Republican party could return to power.
What did everyone expect? The democrats have been anit-American for a extremely long time. Just watch and listen to them. They say they're for the people but always vote on bills that hurt the people and make them richer.
Unfortunately the Republicans aren't very far behind the Democrats. Make no mistake both party's will sell out and back stab America and it's people out to line their pockets.
Today's America is not the America of just 20 years ago.
For public servants to loose their sense of 'for the people, by the people' for partisan destinations smack of aristocracy at best and plutocracy at worst and plain arrogance at base.
I pity the individual that feels no sense of fidelity to the country in which they reside and from which they receive so much.
I don't care what your views on politics might be....you should always stand.....for the men and women that have given their lives for our country....for all of the sacrifices that have been made...and for the simple fact that you are proud to be an American......The sight of people purposely sitting made my stomach turn...
Absolutely disgusting. How will we punish them? We'll put them back in office come election day. Never underestimate the stupidity and the short term memory of the American people.
This is the ultimate example of why we are having the tea parties! Those of us who unconditionally love our country, the foundation and values that it is based on -- and stand up for it -- are subject to a myriad of accusations and defamations. But we realize that in the face of all of the negativity being thrown at us, that there is something much more important -- our country and it's future. So all of those names and accusations are trivial compared to what we are facing as a country.
As Americans we need to relearn our history and take pride in our great country once again. This video just shows the disgraceful people that we have serving us! All true Americans need to unite and take our nation back to the values and principals she was founded upon. I love my country and will no longer sit back and watch as Anti-American politicians destroy her! God Bless you all and God Bless America!
How long is going to take before Americans wake up to the fact that Obama is anti American and so is his entourage. Just look at the church he attended for all those years. All about black power and how the man [America] has kept them down. Yet a black man is president the richest woman in America is black and the nation has been morning a flawed black man for over a week. Obama will turn America into a welfare country within the next two years if you guys let him
As a staunch patriot who loves this country and comes from generations of MEN and WOMEN who fought for our freedoms under our great flag, I'm appalled at this behavior! They all need to be suspended WITHOUT PAY and ousted from their positions!!!!! Where can I sign up so this can happen??
Shameful! Democrat, Republican, whatever your identity politics tell you you are - you're an American. Stand up and put your hand on your heart you hacks!
So sad to see that awful manipulative woman pull that man down when he wants to stand to pledge allegiance to the flag. Who the hell does she think she is?
How immature and ignorant...A real man would have knocked that fat lady on her ass for pulling me down from pledging allegiance to the flag. She is a disgrace to this country. Stand up if you are a man and don't let these female betrayers make you weak!
These people claim to represent you. They act like children and enemies of the state at the same time. This IS the liberal mindset. But far too many of you excuse it away.
As an American, how could you ever justify not standing for the Pledge of Allegiance? How pathetic and disgraceful. Semper Fi, Major Hank Salmans, USMC (Retired)
Anybody with half a brain can clearly see the united States government has been taken over by the enemies of the republic.We are now living in a third world toilet where the village big man will rule.God help the republic.
I'm ashamed to be a NY'er. The Senators should be ashamed of themselves as the Pledge of Alligiance is neither a Dem. or Rep. issue, it's the F'ing USA for God's sake.
II hope no-one is really talking about a revolution. We are not close to being there yet. Let's work together, use the system the way it was designed to be used. Call, vote, be aware, let our representatives know we will not stand for this kind of garbage. These are interesting times and we all need to think about what we are letting our representatives get away with. Because when it is all said and done it is our country and our fault if it gets into trouble.
Vote them all out! Vote them all out! Today is July 4th re-declare your Independence from Tyrrany. Find a Tea party you can get involved in. There is a movement happening here and we will vote them all out
VOTE THEM ALL OUT! VOTE THEM ALL OUT! Today is the 4th of July re-declare your independence from Tyrrany. Find a Tea Party you can Participate in get involved. There is a movement going on and we are growing. We will vote them all out.
It's appalling, but not as much when compared to the DNC or the Obama administration's violation of the constitution and specifically the 10th Amendment.
Why the surprise--don't you remember Obama standing on a campaign platform with Hillary and Bill Richardson with his hands folded in front of them while Hill and Bill held hands over heart? People still elected him for Hope and Change--how's that working out for us as he shreds the Constitution daily and apologizes for our country?
So what if Barak doesn't want to put his hand to his heart or democrats stand at the pledge.... at least democrats pay their taxes 'cuase its patriotic like Biden says... yah like Gietner, and Dashelle, and... uh.... nevermind.
I mean at least they support the military... like Kerry saying they terrorize women and children or Murtha says they are murders or Durbin compares them to Pol Pot on the senate floor... uh.. nevermind.
This is just so horrible, they are traitors of America and what we stand for. We hired these fools and we pay their wages, what in heck is wrong with us as well. We've let these people take our gorvernment away from we the people.
TRAITORS!! Remember those who sold us out.Prepare for an armed revolution against Big Brother which is coming since these same Democrats believe those of us who believe in our Constitutional rights are terrorists..
They all need to be removed, we need to rebuild our country, from the inside out, getting rid of unAmerican's like the current Democratic Congress Reps and Senators and through the liberal Repub's out with them. Don't salute the flag, get the HELL out of my country, and don't salute the flag in a place like Iran.
Thank You Martin Dilan of Brooklyn, for trying to stand up during the Pledge of Allegiance, I don't know your politics but this one thing you tried to do was a good thing.
I don't care if they want to play parliamentary games, they can do that. To refuse to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance is UNFORGIVEABLE. Don't bother to send me a PM, there is no debating this and I won't acknowledge any contrary positions.
I don't care what party you are.......you want to show patriotism for our country and especially during the time of WAR? Recall all who sat down and make it extra harsh on those who intimidated (pulled down) those who wanted to observe the Pledge! RECALL THEM NOW!
I hope the constiuents of these low life politicians see this video and demand they step down. I am ashamed that thugs like this represent ANY part of my country. SHAME< SHAME
I can only say this is shocking, there will be another American Revolution, this Nation cannot and should not put up with this. This is so wrong we are being overrun with people who have no respect for our founders or our constitution.
It was dumb to stay seated but had nothing to do with patriotism. Standing would have been a tacit acknowledgment of the GOP coup d'etat. The shame should fall on the GOP who chose to starve our counties and cities of much-needed revenue in a nakedly partisan power grab that had nothing to do with effective government. Reciting the Pledge was a trap designed to illicit the Dems' approval of the GOP power grab or wind up as grist for the GOP sophistry mill on YouTube. They chose wrong. Dolts.
How can anyone maintain any respect for these democrat ass clowns? When they get power, they act like spoiled children and spend all the next 100 years worth of generational money, and when they loose power they act like spoiled children, stomp their feet, and cover their ears. If this country erupts in an armed conflict some day in the future, you're looking at a mitigating factor, right here. Outrageous!
They act like spoiled little children. It is sad to see elected officials act like that. We are Americans first party second, that is something that democrats will never understand. Shame on them for disrespecting the pledge like that.
I am certainly proud of the responses I've read thus far. We as Americans take pride in our country and our flag. Our politicians will come and go, but let us not forget that our government is a Republic. It is a government for the people, by the people. In as much as I appreciate these comments, I hope that an equal sentiment was sent to your respective representatives.
Apparently, we now live in the United Soviet States of America.
It's obvious though, the statists expend every effort to centralize power behind the self-declared 'intelligent'. They insult the rest with that arrogant proclamation.
The limits of their willingness to engage in fascism has not been found.
Their views stand in elementary disagreement with freedom, our founding principle. Thus, they are without a doubt anti-patriots, which is shown clearly in their tactic in this video.
Apparently the idea of a Republic is completely lost on our elected officials. Hitler was asked, not voted for or abdicated to, in 1933 to head the Premier of Germany with his Nazi party with the opposing party; the SR. Hitler saw opposition as a threat to his right as a German to control and take back what the Treaty of Versailles took from the German people. He had all of the SR shot or expelled from Germany. What if Obama now serves HIS interests not ours?
Folks this should scare the crap out of us! The people who we pay to look out for our interests will not even stand for the pledge? If you reelect one of these SOBs, you should be ashamed of yourself. Everyone in NY should be screaming at them at the top of their lungs. But they won't cause that's where this Country is going
They are emboldened by Obama's successful socialist march. But, there are more of us than them. Retribution will not be swift, but it will be sure. The Constitution will rise like a phoenix, and the American flag will once more be respected.
This is what the majority of the people voted for. We the people need to stand up and shout and get these clowns out of office in the next election. I find this so disrespectful. I am disgusted.
Nothing but a bunch of adults acting like spoiled brats. NA NA NA Boo Boo! Their's is a party that has been highjacked by every leftist/statist special interest and when they don't get their way, they throw a tantrum. Both the Dems and the GOP have lost sight of what they should be doing; establishing justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare and secure the blessings of liberty. brothermoon is right..."Time for revolution!"
none of them are american.thats why they wouldnt do it.they are all multi-national globalists.they want america to become socialist & to disarm the peasants so they cant revolt in a meaningful way.
very good comment kingneddy, and very true.. they arent american, otherwise they would stand, they dont see themself as american either obviously, they are parasites..
That's such a phoney ass argument. Nobody ever said everything about the way things were done in the past is the ideal. But we have lost our way from what works and what doesn't. We can have all the great things about the past that worked for hundreds of years while rejecting those that didn't.
Liberals are such black and white elitist phoneys.
Those jerks have just insulted every man and woman who have fought for the freedom of this country. That is blatent disrespect. Time to clean house, after all this country is ours and they work for us. "We the People, for the people"....
Wake up America..................if you're happy with what's going on, then you're not paying attention.................
GOD cannot bless America, how can GOD bless us when we dont apreciate the freedom that our military fought and died for, let alone respect the pledge or refrence it and or fear acknkowledge GOD. It seems the terrorists can be our own gov sometimes, sad and shameful this people are on this vid> I love GOD and my country let them try and grab me and hold me down when I give honor to my GOD , my country and to all the honorable people who serve this country!
Democrats are dedicated to destroying America. They are hypocritical corrupt blue kool aid drinking anti freedom, anti patriotic, anti common sense, anti equality, anti personal choice, anti everything. They are diametrically opposed to the welfare of we the people. They, led by that social fascist mentality of the far left, honestly believe the bullshit they spew. Obama is a committed left winger who is hell bent upon destroying our way of life. 2010 will be a conservative year for victory.
Democrats are anti-American. They are hell bent upon destroying our way life so that they can usher in a new social fascist liberal government where they have absolute power and we, we the people, have no rights at all. If you think I am wrong, just look at those who lead the party and what they are doing. Obama, follower of lefts philosophies, Pelosi, committed left wing kool aid drinking crazy chick, Reed, tree hugging, social welfare loving liberal hypocrite. 2010 is coming.
"Shocking video of NY Democrats sitting through the Pledge of Allegiance"
What is so shocking about this. Democrats were traitors when lying about Bush, they are traitors now. The more things Change, the more I wish that tool McCain had one.
These arogant commy assholes need to be slapped down hard. Must be mommy never taught them that during the pledge you stand at attention shut your mouth for 30 seconds and show respect for all those that died so you can grow up to be an asshole. I am so sick of liberals (especially elected ones) I just want to swat one. Maybe at the next tea party one will open his yap.
Too bad the representative that tried to stand, but was forced down, didn't just slap the hand away and say something like "protest or not, this is in honor of our country and to hell with you."
Then again, maybe he said something like that and the video didn't catch it.
Either way, actions like this, whether it's either party, is a disgrace.
Youtube isn't allowing people like me, conservatives with strong opinions to post any more. They are dedicated to the leftist agenda. They are censoring our right to express our opinions equally. They stop our posts from going through if we have a history of standing against the left wing loons who inhabit youtube. Youtube is following the left wing SHUT UP argument rules by Shutting Up all those who have a history of opposing the left wing kool aid drinking liberals here at youtube.
These jerks fighting is the best thing for the NY taxpayers. They can't spend anything or take more of our freedoms while they act like children. And it exposes the true patriotism of those who disrespect our flag. We truly are a banana republic now.
She even had the red suit. Wow talk about the perfect dress for the occasion. All she needed was that hammer and sickle scarf and Che beret to complete the look.
Maybe we should have everyone who didn't stand for the Pledge of Allegiance get a sickle and hammer scarf or their very own laminated Communist Membership Card with their name on it.
Welcome to the world of ass backwards anti American liberals.... The question as strong men what are we going to do about it? Do we let them destroy disrespect our country as or enemies do or do we kick their asses?
I swear, sometimes I'm ashamed to be a New Yorker. This was a complete disgrace. And, the guy who tried to stand, and then let himself be yanked back in his seat? YOU UTTER WUSS. Get a pair, why don't you? I feel SO secure, knowing you're there for the people of NY. NOT.
ITA with the crayon remark. Give them back. How about jacks and a jump rope? Maybe they'll get their feet tangled up, all fall down, and we can sweep them out the door and bring in some replacements with cojones.
We, the morally sound and ethical individuals, have sat silent for too long. What have we allowed to happen to our beautiful country? This video is just 1 of many that have turned my stomach. I am disgusted, no...nauseated by what I have witnessed recently. We must get active in taking our country back!
Gribsby9000 You are correct the time has came for WE the PEOPLE. In towns across America. Folks are standing up and pushing back against this tide of America hate. Get evolved ! Only when every main street in America is filled with people that want its Constitution upheld will we stop this TREASON!
The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of liberalism, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.
- Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948
Why so shocked? BHO has made it ok to do all of this, to hate your country and to be racist .... these things are just the beginning. Elections have consequences. Embrace the suck.
These are childish traitors to this country. There is NEVER an excuse to NOT stand up for the Pledge of Allegiance. Absolutely disgusting!
Those who live in New York need to VOTE THEM OUT!
To the one who tried to stand and was pulled down, you need to GROW UP AND BE A MAN and stand your ground! What a wuss! There would be NO ONE that would pull me down for the Pledge!
Can you believe it. Mommy the commie pulls him down. Who is the dude ? I agree a WUSS. He should be on the back of a milk carton . I think this a watershed moment in American history. The people of New York should march on the state house with rails, and tar and feathers. UNACCEPTABLE behavior and disrespectful to every patriot that has shed blood for this country.

Don't salute the flag, get the HELL out of my country, and don't salute the flag in a place like Iran.
You'll prize freedom then.
Throw them ALL OUT! Start with O!!!

It was dumb to stay seated but had nothing to do with patriotism. Standing would have been a tacit acknowledgment of the GOP coup d'etat. The shame should fall on the GOP who chose to starve our counties and cities of much-needed revenue in a nakedly partisan power grab that had nothing to do with effective government. Reciting the Pledge was a trap designed to illicit the Dems' approval of the GOP power grab or wind up as grist for the GOP sophistry mill on YouTube. They chose wrong. Dolts.

How can anyone maintain any respect for these democrat ass clowns? When they get power, they act like spoiled children and spend all the next 100 years worth of generational money, and when they loose power they act like spoiled children, stomp their feet, and cover their ears. If this country erupts in an armed conflict some day in the future, you're looking at a mitigating factor, right here. Outrageous!

They act like spoiled little children. It is sad to see elected officials act like that. We are Americans first party second, that is something that democrats will never understand. Shame on them for disrespecting the pledge like that.

I am certainly proud of the responses I've read thus far. We as Americans take pride in our country and our flag. Our politicians will come and go, but let us not forget that our government is a Republic. It is a government for the people, by the people. In as much as I appreciate these comments, I hope that an equal sentiment was sent to your respective representatives.

Apparently, we now live in the United Soviet States of America.
It's obvious though, the statists expend every effort to centralize power behind the self-declared 'intelligent'. They insult the rest with that arrogant proclamation.
The limits of their willingness to engage in fascism has not been found.
Their views stand in elementary disagreement with freedom, our founding principle. Thus, they are without a doubt anti-patriots, which is shown clearly in their tactic in this video.

Apparently the idea of a Republic is completely lost on our elected officials. Hitler was asked, not voted for or abdicated to, in 1933 to head the Premier of Germany with his Nazi party with the opposing party; the SR. Hitler saw opposition as a threat to his right as a German to control and take back what the Treaty of Versailles took from the German people. He had all of the SR shot or expelled from Germany. What if Obama now serves HIS interests not ours?

Democrats are dedicated to destroying America. They are hypocritical corrupt blue kool aid drinking anti freedom, anti patriotic, anti common sense, anti equality, anti personal choice, anti everything. They are diametrically opposed to the welfare of we the people. They, led by that social fascist mentality of the far left, honestly believe the bullshit they spew. Obama is a committed left winger who is hell bent upon destroying our way of life. 2010 will be a conservative year for victory.

Too bad the representative that tried to stand, but was forced down, didn't just slap the hand away and say something like "protest or not, this is in honor of our country and to hell with you."
Then again, maybe he said something like that and the video didn't catch it.
Either way, actions like this, whether it's either party, is a disgrace.
