Quick Rant on the Pledge ban...
The Patriot Edition ^ | June 28, 2002 | William J. Kess

Posted on 06/28/2002 12:15:49 AM PDT by PatriotEdition

Greetings once again, faithful Patriot Edition Newsletter readers... God bless!

Wait... am i allowed to say "God Bless" in my newsletters? Perhaps the courts will rule that i cannot someday. After all, they banned the Pledge, didn't they? sickening...

They ban the Pledge of Allegiance because it mentions "God". Meanwhile, teachers in certain special interests classes are showing your children how to put a condom on a cucumber. Brilliant.

Where are our values going, anyway? Down the tubes... A Clintonized America is what we have become, and it is getting worse.

On to the Middle East for a second... First i want to pat myself on the back... Once again, i have posted something that has come to be. In the last newsletter, i have stated that Bush's policies towards Arafat were not good enough... I said that "it isn't enough, George"... Did i not?

Just days later, news hits that Bush has stated NO PALESTINIAN STATE unless and until they seek new leadership.

Am i good or what? ... It is almost as if Bush himself read my newsletter and decided to go with my advice... Folks, i am nobody right now... but hang on... The Patriot Edition and the genius behind it is going to catch on ... fast...

And you can all say you knew me when:)

Anyway... back to this Pledge of Allegiance thing... Why is it we have to be so freakin politically correct? Why, after all these years of stating the Pledge in school in the mornings is it now banned?

I am so sick and tired of it. The Separation of Church and State is NOT what the anti-god non-religious left liberals twist it to be! It was stated so that our government can NOT interfere with FREEDOM of RELIGION... In other words... There should not be laws banning GOD from ANYWHERE...

If anything, the banning of the Pledge of Allegiance IS EXACTLY a violation of the Separation of Church and State. The State has STEPPED in and INTERFERED once again.

It is simply unreal how we have to pander to the MINORITY... Take a poll - ask kids and parents alike if they feel so "offended" by the Pledge of Allegiance... ASK them! This is not by popular demand that this was banned. It was banned so that the small group who finds it offensive will be satisfied.

LET THEM STAND OUT IN THE HALL if they don't like it!!!!!

Meanwhile, kids are forced to take sex education classes where they get to put condoms on cucumbers and even get to take the condom home.

"Here little Beckie - Here little Johnny - here's a CONDOM! Go have SEX! ... But please do not mention GOD in this school!"

To whoever has kids out there... please - put them in a private school.

I did not CCP any news URLS to this newsletter because i have been so busy re-arranging my yahoogroups and my website is totally different.

Everything needs to be put into place there.

In any case, i just wanted to send out a quick "rant" about how i feel on this banning of the Pledge thing.

Also want to tell everyone that there are many ways you can send in your feedback... you can participate in apemail, or send to me personally, ... all the addresses are listed below.

I need to get to work on setting up my new site.... Like i said, it has a brand-new look to it, and i need to start filling in the spaces and all. Please be patient.

GOD BLESS you all. I am going to say that whether the ACLU likes it or not!

Have a good one...

You make good points. No one is forced to say the pledge, so this isn't infringment on Freedom of Speech.

Next, will kids be protesting reciting the Multiplication Tables? What if it's against their "religion" and in contrast with their "culture" to be brainwashed with Western Culture's values of materialism?

In a Time of War, and at Any Time, this attack on the Pledge is nothing more than an Attack on America!
