A newly elected 76-year-old Korean War veteran in Florida is refusing to take the oath of office because he doesn’t support the current regime.
Basil Dalack is suing Tequesta, near Miami, to rewrite the oath.
… the oath requires him to “support, protect and defend” the government…
Dalack said he believes the U.S. war in Iraq is unjust and “an abomination.” He said he could not sleep at night if he took a pledge implying blanket support for the U.S. government.
“Those dead kids in Iraq, American kids and Iraqi kids, would haunt me,” Dalack said.
Good man.

Good man? He’s the man! This swearing allegiance to the government should be abandoned. Instead, how about swearing allegiance to we the people of the U.S.A? And placing one’s hand on the bible shou ld be optional with “I hereby affirm”…. among the options.
