The only thing missing on those troopers uniforms is a Swastika. Otherwise, they're straight out of Nazi Germany. And so is their agenda.

No one who knows the origins and history of the pledge- and values liberty- could possibly honor that collectivist ritual without some serious cognitive dissonance. History may not repeat, but it rhymes.

I showed the story & video to my daughter; I explained the backstory and every time my brain tried to say 'state trooper', my mouth uttered 'storm trooper'.

What is interesting is that immediately after the citizen was cut off, in the following video we get the full context:
http://youtu.be/ouNuaMdXmyM

It seems that Mr. James Kaleda was ejected for bringing up a salient question regarding an unenumerated RIGHT, which is our right to inform elected officials on important subjects that are about to be voted upon. As another lady who was very nearly ejected after him had said, "How are you going to hear what WE have to say BEFORE you vote?!?" - in response to the Chairman giving a flimsy excuse for trying to vote up all the gun control measures in a rushed typical Demonrat fashion.

She was inferring that speaking on a bill AFTER it has passed is immaterial, since it would be "a fait accompli".

In fact, a common tyrant's strategy is to vote a despotic bill through, and then eject anyone who objects, on the grounds that the bill is already passed and it's a done deal, even when it was promised that public comment would be permitted afterward. The justification is that such protest is "out of order" and that "business must be allowed to proceed without delay". In fact, this was the exact thing that the Chairman said at the hearing when the people spoke out in objection!

Hopefully someone there remembered to put the tyrants on the list, but if you watch this video, you'll see that there was ONE who spoke out in favor of representative government (probably the token Republican)... http://youtu.be/ouNuaMdXmyM

Kent's right folks. The pledge is a bunch of collectivist claptrap. It's time people dig into its history and to decide not to be dupes of collectivists.

Nice to see someone noted the formal livery of the NJSP. It has an "interesting" history. The NJSP was created by H. Norman Schwarzkopf - a West Point Graduate - hence emulating, in organization and uniform, the prevailing military appearance common to american and european police forces of the era. Some might say the uniform wasn't the only thing the NJSP emulated; then and now.

The Sam Browne" belt was a deliberate affectation. As were the "jack boots" and the double-strapped cover. For those interacting, note the first thing a trooper does is don his "cover" which displays his badge of authority. IOW the NJSP uniform is calculated to intimidate and its wearers are trained to make maximum use of it.

Note which/how many of these were present at the cited hearing. . Many have described NJSP troopers as "jack-booted thugs" ! I can't say as I totally disagree ! >Jeff

For those of you who correctly noted the use of the national socialist - originated 'Pledge of Allegiance', perhaps we ought to re-educate the public to a variation on that pledge.

The Indiana Militia uses the following variant:

"I pledge allegiance to the Constitution of the united States, and to the Republic it establishes, one nation from many sovereign states, with liberty and justice for all...
AND WE'LL FIGHT FOR IT!"

Show me anyone who objects to pledging allegiance to the Constitution, or to the republic, and I'll show you a libtard collectivist.

While the Constitution is much preferable to "the flag", a "republic", by definition, is a collective. Refusing to pledge allegiance to a collective can not be "collectivist".
