Our Courts

The Pledge of Allegiance is under attack now. You really have to wonder about where these judges and some of the politicians pledge their allegiance. Our founding fathers are probably turning in their graves while our enemies are laughing their rears off. The attack on the foundation of the United States is pathetic.

Our founding fathers also had slaves and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of native americans to take this land too. doesn't make it right.

i'm fairly religious.. i don't think that taking 2 words out of the pledge is attacking the u.s., i am against it because it's sort of changing history.. shrug.. i dunno tho, just MHO.. nothing more or less.

No it doesn't make it right, but the principle was founded then and has been amended since to correct some of the wrongs. Nothing is perfect, but this country is starting to head down a dark road. The courts proved their power (and possible misuse of) during the last presidential election. What about the separation of powers of the branches of government?

stuff like this is only going to get worse. We are heading downhill. All this PC BS is screwing everything up. People are getting way to over sensitive about everything nowadays.

IMHO, having "In God We Trust" on American currency, and "One Nation Under God" in the pledge of allegiance is not only unconstitutional, it's blatant hypocrisy .

Unconstitutional because there are many citizens who don't believe in ANY God, that have the right to express that belief without having to pledge allegiance to something they consider non existant.

Blatant hypocrisy because there are many who claim a faith in a God, but deviate from that faith when it's convienient.

Like David said, It wasn't a founders pledge, it was added quite recently actually.

2 threads, same topic.......Post twice.

Well the 9th circuit court that issued this ruling is probably one of the most liberal in the Nation. This court also has one of the highest rates of having their decisions overturned. Fear not, common sense will prevail.

IMHO, if common sense prevails, "under God" will be removed from the pledge of allegiance.

As well as our currency, as well as court proceedings, as well as the start of legislative business in the House and Senate and State Legislatures.

Agreed, there's no place for God in state business, or state sponsored ANYTHING.

Would anyone like to see "under U.F.O.'s" or "In U.F.O's we Trust" used in those same documents?

That's the way I see it, and I'm not alone.

Well Norm, at least you are consistent in your beliefs. That is to be commended.

I'm willing to settle for "one nation under BJS"...

most justices cannot even wipe their bums.

Justices live by the creedo>>

"Don't do as I do, Do as I say"

Justices should be stripped of their robes and paraded through the street naked to show how little they are.
