Now I am liberal democrat, and I truly can not see why everyone is worked up over the Phrase under god in the Pledge of Allegiance.
When you say the Pledge, you are pledging allegiance to the United States not to God. When I was a kid and going to school the Pledge under god was not in the Pledge of Allegiance. After 1949, the pledge of allegiance was in the pledge. The Pledge is not a religious pledge, it is not asking you to become a Christian, a Jew, or a Moslem. It is asking you to be an American.
If youi are an atheist, it means nothing to yu, and therefore cannot offend.
I think this is just lot BS, Bushshit, and Liberals are not offended by the the Pledge.
I think those that claim to be offended are actually right wing fascist types in disguise, trying to spread more lies about Liberals like me, and to make liberals look bad. A true liberal will not be offended by the words Under God. So it has to be rightwing anti-american lackies telling more lies about liberals.
I one time read while I was in college that Mao Tse Sung, of china fame, once said that " If everyone lived by the principles of the Sermon on the Mount, then there would never have been to need to create communism."
I am a christian, and we all know that it is corporatism and greed that is controling our government, and the world has not seen the end of communism, I am afraid. Believe it or not but People do not wish to Die for Exxon and starve to make Haliburton rich. Bush is making a serious error privatizing everything. Bush is making greed the motivation for taking care of the poor, instead of service. The right is very very very dangerous to America, To God, to the land itself, and to our constitution.
Check out these sites and keep an open mind. Think of our terrible hurricanes. Maybe ????:doh
