One Nation, UNDER GOD

Actually:

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

Note location of the commas. " ... one nation under God, indivisible ..."

The phrase "under God" was added in 1954, by act of Congress, at the behest of (among others) the Knights of Columbus and Rev. Dr. George MacPherson Docherty.

At present, I think it's more a matter of wishful thinking than it is a description of reality.

Is this a great country, or what?

It really is so simple. Why can't he see it?

[StonyBurk]

If they were KIA in a crack house-and the murderer was there
it sorta suggests they were Victim twice over-at least. First the pusherman— then to the avenging angel of death.By not suffering a murderer to live the murderer has now faced a righteous Judge-and those he murdered. Too bad he didn’t get the evil one who supplied the crack house.

"It really is so simple. Why can't he see it?"

He is a scared little boy who feels he can't conrol his life if he can't control yous and mine as well.

[Clay+Iron_Times]

Wishful thinking for certain, especially with this present generation.

New York: A state withOUT brains or balls.

[ArrogantBustard]

“Under God” certainly does not seem to characterize present reality in any State giving serious consideration to institutionalizing buggery.

[RoadTest]

If New York wants to O.K. sodomy, what does that have to do with Texas?

“Rick Perry’s brand of medieval populism”

The guy has not even announced his candidacy, and the government lapdogs are already preemptively smearing Perry and Texas. This will be a brutal campaign.

"......States have been called laboratories in democracy precisely because every problem potentially has fifty different approaches to solving it. Some solutions work in some states and not in others. Some states prefer some solutions over others. Some solutions may work in every state, and some just don't work at all. But the best way to find the best solutions is to allow the states to discover what works best for them, without the federal government interfering....

But what is to be done when the destructive policies of the failed states finally make them so politically and socially gangrenous that they threaten the existence of the other states?

If he was capable of committing a vicious murder, he is capable of dying for it.

Mathis should have been detained for a very long time in a secure mental hospital, and he should have received treatment or therapy for his disability before, if and when it was deemed fit and proper, he was released into the community.

So he can kill again!

[Slambat]

For Milton Mathis Tuesday is Fryday.

[Noob1999]

It could be easily argued that any human who kills another human without cause, is mentally incompetant.

The small town of Goliad Texas has an impressive central town square, which houses the government center. One side of the square includes a stately oak tree, “The Hanging Tree.”

Once a defendent lost a capital case in the square’s courthouse, he was taken over to the “hanging tree” for justice within ten minutes of the verdict.

No meals, no appeals. Simple justice!

...and I am sure he will get his penile implant, as soon as the NY legislature votes in the law...

It just won't be implanted on the front of his body..

So according to the author an adult with an IQ higher then my young adults cannot dress himself. Hmmm, I call bull crap.
The question is did this man understand that what he did was wrong, if he did truly keep shooting because he panicked after the first shot the yes he did understand that what he was doing/did was wrong.

[txroadkill]

Well welcome home! Let us know when you get here and we’ll buy you a Dr. Pepper!

[Mears]

Now that’s not nice-——think of us poor conservatives stuck living here.

[freedumb2003]

And I’ll stand you up a Lone Star my FRiend!
