The “God” referenced in our national pledge of allegiance is a generic “God.” It can be the God who reveals Himself in the biblical texts, or it can be a god of one’s own making. As such, I have to problem with any citizen who recoils from its use. The God who reveals Himself in the biblical texts is a jealous God. He is not interested in allegiances to anyone or anything higher than Himself, and that includes one’s own nation. Allegiance to Caesar has its limits.
So now saying the word “God” means one is praying? Talking about the proximity of “God” means praying? I hope this negative attention somehow turns out to benefit Romney in PA. No wait, I PRAY this benefits Romney in some way in PA!

Pledge of allegiance
In October 2001, Josephs was the only House member to vote against a rule requiring students to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools.[5] The constitutionality of the law was later challenged, and in 2003, the U.S. District Court struck-down the law on constitutional grounds.[6]
She looks like an old atheist lesbian...just like most radical feminist liberals.
Any one know which political party she is in? /sarc
How can she take the oath for her job? Our Natural Rights come from God—not a wiccan devil. She doesn’t understand “Rule of Law” which means a “Higher Power” than “man”. How stupid she is....no logic........these people are mentally ill. She may be senile.
I respect folks views on religion and saying pledges. I really do.
What I don’t like are sanctimonious a-holes who make such a big deal about it—and who act like those of different beliefs are idiot fools.
Whatever happened to common courtesy and respect for each other?
Bitter leftist clinging to her drugs and paganism.
Her statement of refusing the pledge has the word 'God' in it. Does it mean she was actually praying when she objected to it?
My mind is cluttered with absolutely useless information, so when I read her name is “Babette”, something clicked, and with a little help from Google, it turns out that the old TV show “Ramar of the Jungle” featured an African native who had a pet monkey named Babette.
“they” have to take “God” out because this hag cannot stand to just say the pledge and do her own thing on the part that “offends” her
she has to make sure “they” choose silence for all of us
That’s her right, but it is our right not to have such a person represent us. She is not the problem, she is the RESULT of a problem. A majority if voters in her area voted for her and thus have the same thoughts. We need to start focusing on the people that vote for such a person ... And the solution to the resulting problem could be your next door neighbor ...start there. (BTW ... I say “stood” instead if “stands” in the pledge and will as long as Obama is President. )
This is an election year. Vote her out of office.
Just another superannuated attention ho’..... Jewish lib idiot (I am Jewish and disown her)
