Pledge of Allegiance Ruled Unconstitutional
VUSE g-EE-k and entirely too many other people wrote in about an Appeals Court decision holding that the Pledge of Allegiance, as recited in its current form in various public schools (often by law), is unconstitutional. The court's decision (PDF) is available.
When our nation is so obsessed with stuff like this.
We waste billions on lawsuits which do nothing but remove the moral fabric of our country. Ever since the "liberation" of the people in the twenties this country has had an incredible exponential increase in social problems. Crime, disease, civil unrest, and violence have all increased dramatically while actual personal freedom has been destroyed.
Our education system is a joke because there is no enforcement anymore. It's becomming impossible to enforce any discipline at all because everyone attempts to justify their POV on why they should be exempt from law, responsibility and accountability.
Our real freedoms are being drained away while we bicker and fight over the freedom not to hear what's good for us.
God have mercy on this country. I believe our foolishness will soon destroy this country.

Our money says "In God We Trust" because there wasn't enough room to write "America is populated and run by a bunch of ignorant crackers who don't deserve the enlightened system of government Jefferson and Madison established for them."

I suppose this was inevitable... I mean, after all, this is one nation under [insert favorite villain here, such as Bob, or Bill, or what's his name]... The constitution states that there will be a separation of church and state, and that all people will have freedom of religion. It never says freedom from religion. Atheism is a religion too...
As for my personal opinion, I think that removing the "under God" part is really lame, perhaps more so than adding it in the first place. I mean, if little Johnny's parents are upset about him being exposed to other beliefs, why not just explain to him that in their home, God means evolution, or DNA, or money, or something like that? It's getting to the point where people who believe in a God or many gods are treated unjustly because of their religious beliefs.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
