Should All Elected Officials Sign a Pledge That They Support America First

[Snouter]

I mean, if they are not America First, they are some other country first. What kind of fucking, delusional douchebag would want another country first?

It is obvious what you are getting at, child, as you have quite the track record of antisemitism.

Helping those living on a tiny sliver of land who are being assaulted by genocidal savages on a daily basis is not supporting them first. It is just supporting them because it is the right thing to do.

How would such a thing be more effective than an oath of allegiance?

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

They do, it's called the oath of office. They put their hand on the Bible and swear to do certain things.

...well, technically it doesn't necessarily have to be a Bible, but nitpicking is not the intention.

In a typical oath of office, the elected official swears to support and defend the laws and Constitution of the United States. This should be sufficient.

Well, that may be, I don't really know. But they do take an oath effectively swearing to uphold the law and do the right thing.

I wonder what Snouter is hinting at with this pledge? The mind boggles. lol

 

[there4eyeM]

Mine is all out of boggles. They were all used up by about 2004.

They lie!

People can't always agree on "what's best for the country ". Happens a lot .

It seems a lot of people don't see it that way, considering that ire Trump has generated with his American First platform.

 

[Manchester]

But then they might have to stop arming Israel at the expense of the American tax payer.

The responses to Trump's America First showed that many liberals interpret that as inherently morally wrong.

For reasons they were not clear on.

America doesn't need to be first, it needs to be smart and so do the people elected.

It's already first in people locked up, and shouldn't be.

That's a pretty tiny expense. And a pretty small "hit" for America compared to all the other far larger issues.

Do you think that American government policy should be crafted to advance American Interests First?

Have you mentioned that to Obama? He seems to think Israel is the problem in the Middle East.

I would prefer they take an oath to read and understand every bill before they vote on it.

It doesn't matter. Taking an oath, signing a pledge, they will violate it anyway. The Republican candidates all signed a pledge to support the nominee. Now it's what pledge. I dunno nuffin bout no pledge. Democrats are no different.

Politicians with rare exceptions, support the whole of other nations. Whatever ends the whole idea of nations is what they support.
