Enough is enough!
When Barack Obama is inaugurated, as he should, Pastor Rick Warren will call upon God to bless our 44th president and his administration.
Obama will place his hand on Abraham Lincoln’s bible swearing to uphold and defend the Constitution. He’ll be following the honorable path of asking for God’s blessings set down by George Washington and repeated at every Presidential Inauguration.
He’ll also drive the atheist crowd up the wall, but that’s their problem not ours.
Americans expect our presidents to petition God’s graces because we are an overwhelmingly God believing country. Now the very way we inaugurate a president is the subject of a lawsuit from Newdow’s tiny atheist minority.
They want to prevent ANY reference to God or religion during the ceremony making us kowtow to them.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation is demanding the ceremony be changed so America’s presidents are prohibited from praying or even saying “So help me God.”
Praying or using God’s name offends these people. Atheists number just eight percent and even 20% of these confused souls express a belief in God (while calling themselves atheists – go figure). Why then, should anyone care what this gang of braying morons thinks?
They want what they want and they want it now, but who cares? With all the work ahead of us we need every blessing God wants to send us.
Atheist demands offend ME as part of the other 92% of us who believe in God and nobody can tell me that my position is not more important.
These “offended” atheists should be told to pound sand and get lost.
Enough is enough!
It’s about time we stood up for our American way of life and told people like this to cover their eyes and ears if the name....

I wonder if it's really the little zer0 they are thinking of, or is it his wife (what's her name ... Mitchell?) being sorta kinda insane, like Mary Todd Lincoln was.
8%? Are there really that many?
Ever since the PC police in this country went from “Majority Rules” to “Kindness Rules” it has been a disaster.
It’s going to be a fun 4 years...
Actually we went from what is good for the country to what I want and it has become Tyranny by the minority. I cannot think of any law passed in this country or state that benefited the majority of the taxpayers.
this jerk (and the PC crowd in general) forces me think that our Nation will suffer a slow and painful death from a thousand duck nibbles.
Yeah. Freeze tag.
Actually, it will take a bundle of nerves for a lower court to tell the CHIEF JUSTICE OF THE SUPREME COURT that he can’t use the word “God” or allow the use of the BIBLE when he swears in the next POTUS. Do you think Roberts would ignore such an order and do his own thing any-way?
It’s not an assault on our way of life; it’s an assault on the way of life of Indonesia. Or Kenya. Or someplace unknown outside the United States. No one seems to care very much. After all, it’s only the constitution that’s being violated, and no one believes in that hoary, old document anymore.
...while his very presence on the inauguration stand has already violated that same Constitution...
