To: ProtectOurFreedom

How nice -- "...our military goes out of their way to handle the Koran with care and respect. There are policies and practices that are in place."

And what policies do we have in place here at home for our sacred religious icons? Athesists petition to take "God" out of the Pledge. Judges remove the Ten Commandments from our courthouses. "Artists" on the public dole put crucifixes in urine.

And now we bend over backward begging forgiveness from a religion that spreads hate and violence. My God, is our world turned upside down or what?

I don't know how to respond to your post, it is all so true, and sickening what has become of the United States, because of the swine on the left, the demoncraptic party, they are trying to destroy what is left of America. Wake up, we have to stop them, stop taking God from our Pledge, if the rats don't like it, LEAVE the Decent United States. Stop the lefty loony judges from taking the 10 Comandments out of our Society, and Stop the dumbell wanna-be-artists that piss and think that they have created art. Throw them all out of the US, at least into the pacific ocean, what disasterous crap will wash up on the left coast. Maybe the left coast will fall into the ocean sooner than we had hoped.

The thing is, the original pledge (1890's) didn't have God in it. It got put in there during the 50's. From my readings, I think the original pledge writer would have been disappointed in that change. Bellamy's granddaughter said he also would have resented this second change. He had been pressured into leaving his church in 1891 because of his socialist sermons. In his retirement in Florida, he stopped attending church because he disliked the racial bigotry he found there. history.vineyard.net/pledge.htm (many more sources on google) Personally, I'm sort of with the founding fathers on keeping God and church out of the state, but I'm pretty libertarian. I don't really like people knocking on my door with their "message" or stuff, either... Paine and Jefferson had a pretty dim view of Christianity....
