He didn't put his hand over his heart, either -- what a despicable man.

I just saw it on Special Report with Brit Hume. He didn't place his hand over his heart either, so it was definitely part of his agenda.

Every time I've heard the pledge recited, a significant number of people leave out "under God". I'm one of them. Ironically, the unity of the recitation breaks down with the word "indivisible".

The thing is, either its meaningless (and his perogative to leave it out), or it has meaning. If it has meaning, it can only mean the Nation is subordinate to a Deity. That's contrary to the Establishment clause.

*THIS* is something for which Congressional Republicans get angry and motivated?

What about JUDGES? What about TAXES? What about SPENDING? Oh, no... McDermott didn't say "under God." What an OUTRAGE!
