Republicans emphasize 'under God' in pledge after 2 DNC meetings omitted words
Fox News ^ | 08/24/2020 | Tyler Olson

The official meeting of the Republican National Convention (RNC) delegates Monday morning emphasized the words “under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance after a committee and a caucus meeting omitted the words from the pledge during the Democratic National Convention (DNC).

The omission of “under God” from the two relatively minor events sparked a backlash from Republicans, including President Trump, and a flurry of fact-checks pointing out that in the four major broadcasts each night Democrats did use the words “under God.” But Republicans have still said the omission by the individual speakers — there was no party directive on the words — in the two meetings represents a disrespect Democrats have for people of faith.

“Two Democrat Caucus Meetings removed ‘UNDER GOD’ from the Pledge of Allegiance. It sounded not only strange, but terrible. That’s where they’re coming from!” Trump tweeted Sunday. […]

The meetings in which the words “under God” were left out were one meeting of the Muslim Delegates & Allies Assembly and one LGBTQ Caucus Meeting. …

Doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things, but it’s good to smack the Dems when the opportunity presents itself. Removing “under God” from the pledge has been a longtime goal of The Left.

The Demo rats well deserved every bit of backlash from Republicans and others making note of it. This evidences so clearly the forked tongues they have speaking out of both sides of their mouth.

We also hear them frequently framing their statements the same way the enemy did in the garden....(”Has God not said?”)....when you know how the enemy of mens souls operates and the tactics he uses it' so much easier to discern peoples true intentions when they twist words around to create doubt.

If I were asked today to formulate as concisely as possible the main cause of the ruinous revolution that swallowed up some 60 million of our people, I could not put it more accurately than to repeat: Men have forgotten God; that’s why all this has happened.

Red was a true patriot and a solid Christian. I have most of his shows and skits on dvd. There was no questioning his loyalty to God and country. In this age of crappy, watered-down, knee-jerk reactionary, immoral, anything goes, humanistic, worship the creation rather than the Creator, poo programming that surrounds us night and day...He is missed.

I have read about a third of The Black Book of Communism. It really explained much of the Christian spread into some dark corners of the world. It also revealed a world led by tyrants acting in lockstep at times. Meanwhile.. isn’t there about a dozen you tube channels to waste time in.
