"We're a despised minority," Newdow told the judge.

I wonder why? ;-)

[massgopguy]

Of course they never married. Newdow is Gay.

[Steely Tom]

Of course they never married. Newdow is Gay.

That would explain a lot. You are joking though, right?

Next time a liberal asks "why are people wasting time banning same-sex marriage when there are so many other pressing problems in our country?" ask the same thing back about this.

"We're a despised minority," Newdow told the judge.

Never met an Atheist or an Agnostic in the foxhole or at a disaster scene. Says a lot about Nedow the first he can control but his attitude proves he doesn't have the stomach to defend the freedoms he so enjoys abusing and the later will eventually come to him. The laws of mathematical probability say so.

[ElkGroveDan]

I still say he has no standing in this case. He doesn't have custody of the girls, and she is a practicing Christian who prays and attends church according to her mother.

[NormsRevenge]

I wonder who he thanked when his daughter was born with 10 toes, 10 fingers, and healthy? a tree?

The ability of folks like him to deny their core beginnings whether they like it or not is troubling. It isn't born of ignorance , more arrogance.

Newdow, God's gonna get ya for that.. unless a tree gets him first. stranger things have happened. ;-)

[newconhere]

Honest opinion, do you think he has a shot at winning this?

[BaBaStooey]

You are a despised minority, because of the fact that despite your minority status, you and your allies and associates have created a secularist and atheist religion of the state, which by the way violates the First Amendment, and have forced it upon every man, woman, and child in America.

The Founding Fathers would be astounded by this development.

Someone needs to write a book about this.

Anyone who denies the existence of a Creator also denies that the basic human rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, as well as freedom and democracy, are God-given rights.

Secularists believe that these are Government-given rights, for Government is "god." Nancy Pelosi herself says that when the Supreme Court speaks, it is as if God is speaking.

If man created government, and Government is "god," then in theory man can take away these rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. They are then not "rights" at all, they are privledges, not given to us because God has given them to every person who is born on this earth, but because someone decides who gets to be "free" and who doesn't. That's a very dangerous path.

[SandRat]

I said "Never met an Atheist or an Agnostic in the foxhole or at a disaster scene".

Now if you choose to claim that you and your group are outside my experiences OK. That still doesn't change the statement of my personal observations.

As we all know there are always exceptions to the general rule.

I wonder what Jimmy Carter thinks -- with all his fault, he is deeply religious.

[NormsRevenge]

I'll go ya one better. I have asked to have the post by the freethinker deleted .

I won't see my threads used to recruit for the ACLU and People of the American Way, amongst other orgs..

They don't like it, tough.

They can ask God to intervene on their behalf.

Congress has every power to dictate what is said in the pledge and what isn't; the states have the power to use it or not. The compelled portion is absent in this case. Don't like it, then just stand there and mouth 'watermelon, watermelon' over and over again until everyone is done/

[NormsRevenge]

Just curious.

Do you support or oppose military recruiters being allowed to recruit on college or high school campuses?

[afnamvet]

"We're a despised minority," Newdow told the judge.

That description, Mr. Newdow, is not what I would deem appropriate. Satan's minions is a more correct revelation.

[ThinkDifferent]

Secularists believe that these are Government-given rights, for Government is "god."

Some do; some do not. And there are some Christians who believe that government should act directly as an agent of God by enforcing all Biblical law.

[festus]

The pledge is working marvelously at finding the godless commies in our midst I tell ya .

[NormsRevenge]

Is Post #10 gone for good?

I may be changing my mind about having it yanked, and I'm not even a female. lol ;-)

I have been strategerizing how to make hay out a plea to check out the godless that serve in the military and who they pray to in combat.

Altho I would still like to know if qam1 supports military recruiters on college and high school campuses, being as a number of the contributors sites for MAAF are those very same fighting a battle to keep recruiters off of campuses.. Ironic, No?

Thanks!

Developing.. :)
