Do Christians get to get rid of all materials that don’t mention God as promoting athiesm?

Freedom from religion.

My kiddo’s commented on the pledge as well.

It was comforting to them to hear God in the pledge. They loved it.

Yup, but many of our Libertarian FRiends are as frightened of Christians as they are of leftists. I try to get through to them that the 18th and 19th century liberals that they admire were most often Christians and all lived in a Christian culture.

Lazar Kaganovich,...

Wow. You don't hear the name of this scoundrel (Stalin's lapdog) very often!

Katie Couric

Kagonovich

A bit of a stretch, but I wonder if they are related?

According to Hamilton, A Federation is in fact a confederation.

"The definition of a Confederate Republic seems simply to be, an "assemblage of societies" or an association of two or more States into one State. The extent, modifications and objects of the Foederal authority are mere matters of discretion. So long as the separate organisation of the members be not abolished, so long as it exists by a constitutional necessity for local purposes, though it should be in perfect subordination to the general authority of the Union, it would still be, in fact and in theory, an association of States, or a confederacy." - Federalist, no. 9

You need to read some Texas History! We were an independent republic first and we retained the right to become a republic again dividing into 5 states. Our state flag does not have to fly below the US flag.

I know you Yankees like to ridicule us Texans, but we have managed to retain some of the original character that created this great state.

Texas will be the last state to bow before the tenets of the secular progressives or the god of liberalism.

Why should one religion with no god make the rules for all other religions with gods.

Atheists can live in Texas...but they shouldn’t mess with us. I think this couple does more harm to their kids than the pledge does. They don’t seem to believe in live and let live. They are already setting up their children to become haters.

This is yet another example of the atheistic sharia, where any believe in another faith must defer to the ‘superior’ faith and accept dhimmitude.

We should also want to add 'dhimmitude' to our spell checker.

I am an ex-New Yorker who moved to the Lone Star State. Native Texans in the vast majority believe in God and will defend that right to do so. This adopted yankee stands with them. Many of us love God and His word and will fight these godless cretins from hell.

Better not have God kick out your name in His Pledge.

Then secede if you don’t want to be in the federation that is the United States of America, the Union. Don’t act like because you’re from Texas that you get some special treatment because you don’t. You are one of the 50 subservient states to the US federal government. You are on your knees like everyone else, pal.

I hear the Ukrainians really like him for his role in starving to death some 8,000,000 of them during the forced collectivization campaign.

“I have a problem with pledging allegiance to a state. The US is a federation, not a confederation.”

Well, I would too if I lived in New Hampshire, however, Texans (real Texans) have as much if not more loyalty to their state than to the US.

A solution in search of a problem. If you don’t believe, just leave the words out when you say the pledge.

Too simple. Too much common sense. No, we go to COURT!! Sheesh. I know people who ADD words to the pledge of allegiance. They add ...born and unborn after with liberty and justice for all.
