Oh man, this really chaps my ass!
LIBERAL U.S. District Judge Lawrence Karlton has declared the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional and issued a restraining order to keep it out of three Sacramento-area school districts.
It seems this brilliant legal decision stems from the efforts of Atheist Michael Newdow who as you probably know has been fighting to keep his name in the news because it makes him feel good. And oh yeah, he thinks because the words “Under God” are in the Pledge of Allegiance that his kid as well as everybody else’s shouldn’t have to say it.
Here’s a little suggestion Mikey, get the hell out of my country. It’s clear that you haven’t taken the time to even understand the pledge. The pledge doesn’t require you to pledge any allegiance to God, you’re pledging allegiance to the United States of America.
Oh, what’s that? Oh you’re concerned that the text of the Pledge of Allegiance requires acknowledgement that the United States of America is ‘Under God’. Hmmm – You got me there pal. How about, if it bothers you so much to say those two words, you just shut your yap for those two words then just pick up the pace right after.
For about 230 years people have been fighting and dieing to protect this, the greatest country in the world so people like you could say what’s on their mind without suppression or repercussion. Now you want to take that same right away from the majority of Americans that feel it is their right to say the Pledge of Allegiance just as it is written.
I am proud to say the Pledge of Allegiance just as it is written because I have great respect for those that have fought and died for this country. I have great respect for our forefathers that founded this country, mostly from very Christian backgrounds, which is why we have words like ‘Under God’ in the Pledge of Allegiance, why we have opening prayer in the Senate and House.
I don’t mind any of that. Its tradition, it grounds us as a nation.
While you might think, “This is just the view from another religious Right-winger,” consider this, I am, among many other things, an Agnostic but foremost, I am a flag waving, Pledge of Allegiance saying, these colors never run American. It is my privilege to live and work in this country and if saying ‘Under God’ is part of the Pledge of Allegiance, then I say it with pride.
Changing or omitting the Pledge of Allegiance would be like repairing the crack in the Liberty Bell. It’s the way it is and should remain.
Michael, if you disgree with me you have that right in this country, I just wish you’d do it from another.
Ps. U.S. District Judge Lawrence Karlton – You don’t deserve to wear the robe.
