 I love my country. I love my freedom. I love my country and all history - the good and the bad. I love my freedom and I thank G-d for the men who stood up for generations before me to fight for and defend that freedom. I am honored, each and every day, to live in a country as free and huge and glorious as this.If the men and women who fought for this country, for the free world, in World War Two put "under G-d" in the Pledge of Allegiance, then I will, with pride, say "under G-d". If those brave men and women chose and voted to say "under garlic and crayons", I would have said that. I know that each and every time I say the Pledge of Allegiance, however rare in day-to-day life; I'm honoring all those who lifted this country up on their shoulders and held it high above all other nations. It's a bit corny, I know, but it's true. If men and women didn't fight and die for what I have now, I wouldn't even be here. And now, well over 150 years after the first writing of the Pledge of Allegiance, politicians and lawyers, with nothing better to do in this time of war, unable to stab at the enemy that threatens us all, turn right around and stab the very country that's defended them all along by declaring the Pledge of Allegiance, something older and greater and more a part of this country than they'll ever be, unconstitutional. Under freedom of speech, any man or woman can say whatever he or she wants in this nation. If someone wants to say that the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional, then so be it. Let them say it. And if they don't want to say it, the Constitution defends their right to keep quiet as well as speak their mind - they need not utter a word. But to impose their opinion upon millions of citizens who might not agree with them is totally outrageous. While these anti-American, un-patriotic, arrogant atheists are at it, why don't they reprint all of our money which clearly states, "In G-d We Trust." Why stop there? Ban "G-d Bless America" from ever being sung. Rewrite the entire inaugural ceremony in which over 40 presidents have acquired the seat of President of the United States for hundreds of years. Stop the president from saying, "…and may G-d bless us all," or, "G-d bless America," or something along those lines at the end of a State of the Union Address or something like that. But these liberal hippies that should have died along with their drug-soaked decade probably wouldn't want to be hypocrites, right? They'd want to be fair, right? Then, please, by all means, either make Christmas just another work-day, or make all religious holidays mandatory federal days of observance. And while we're at it, how about we force the country to go Vegan? What the hell. Sandals and flower headbands for everyone. Let's degenerate the country as far as we can. This kind of madness has to stop. Luckily, the Senate voted 99-0 in favor of the Pledge of Allegiance, but the mere fact that something like this was brought to court in the first place is traitorous. G-d bless America. And just for the record, "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic, for which it stands, one nation, under G-d, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." |
