Democrats
you Don't even have your
own Pledge of Allegiance
to the flag
Its to the Republic for which it stands
not Democrat
------------------------------------------
The man cannot spell the words "Traitors" or "It's" and has no idea either when to capitalize or how sentences are put together. Also, he seems to confuse the word "Republican" with "Republic". Because of this, he seems to think that the inclusion of the word "Republic" means that the Pledge of Allegiance only belongs to Republicans. Yet, if Democratic children didn't say The Pledge in schools, he would probably call them traitors too. Republicans are clueless in so many ways.

(54,445 posts)The Kentucky dialect is spoken with a distinctive accent, and you must have an angry expression on your face when you pronounce it, or a native speaker will spot you as a "foreigner" immediately.
If you want to learn the standard version of the language, here is a head start:
EXCERPTS FROM THE OFFICIAL DICTIONARY OF REPUBLICANESE
In Republicanese, many words that sound alike may be spelled differently at random. A few prominent examples:
In Republicanese, the following words may be spelled at random using any of the three ways given:
A.) Two, Too, To
B.) Their, They're, There
c.) Your, Yore, You're
The Republicanese version of Robin Hood therefore starts with "In days of you're...."
The only rule is that the correct use of them as in English is never permitted twice in a row.
Words with single letters that change meaning when that letter is doubled must never be used in correct English context. The classic example is lose vs. loose. In Republicanese, if you do not win an election, then you loose that election. Conversely, if your (Republicanese: youre) belt is too tight, you need it more lose in order to be comfortable. Another example would be the Republicanese, I met Donald Trump, and he was rudder than I imagined, vs. I grabbed the ruder and was able to steer the boat to shore.
In Republicanese, as opposed to English, an apostrophe is used to form a plural. But it must be done at random, never systematically. For example, Bill and Hillary are "the Clinton's," but Bill, Chelsea and Hillary are "the Clintons." The other way around is also correct. In Republicanese, either form is correct as long as it is not spelled the same way twice in a row.

(54,445 posts)Red states would probably start using it as a basic grammar in their elementary schools.
So I dropped the idea like a hot potato.
The apostrophe is also known as the hyphen and they are synonymous.
