As Politico reports,

Kicking off today’s tea party press conference/protest at the Capitol, Missouri Republican Rep. Todd Akin urged the crowd to join him in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance because it “drives the liberals crazy.” Then he botched it.

So eager to shout out “one nation UNDER GOD,” Akin skipped right over the next word – “indivisible” – before stumbling into “with liberty and justice for all.”

Indivisible… 

I think I understand why this was left out by Rep. Akin.  He was sure to get in the words under God, but simply forgot Indivisible.  Why?  This tea party group crowding the halls of the Whitehouse on Thursday has done everything in their power to spread hate, bigotry and division.  They are against anyone that does not look like themselves or believe like they do.  That includes anyone that is of any other race, that believes in any other religion, or anyone that is gay. 

It makes me ashamed.  This crapola gets picked up by the news and spread all over the world as if that is what ALL Americans believe, and it’s not what most of us do believe.  Most of us have a brain and think these teabaggers are nuts. 

More than fifty percent of America wants healthcare reform.  Most people in America have accepted the differences and call people of other races family or friend.  Many of us have family or friends or coworkers who are gay and we treat them like we would any human being.  With love and respect. 

I say ENOUGH!  I am sick of the hatred, and the spreading of fear. 

Other countries have managed to work through all these issues better than we have in America.   In the land of the free…  where is our real freedom to be who we are?
