Just in case anyone's thinking along the same lines here in America:

Excerpt From:
 
True American
Written by: Barry Loudermilk
 
"In God We Trust" is our national motto.  This is
not some off-the-wall,Christian, Right Wing,
political slogan - it is our national motto. It is
engraved in stone in the House of Representatives
in our Capitol and it is printed on our currency.
We adopted this motto because Christian men and
women, on Christian principles, founded this  nation;
and this is clearly documented throughout our history.
If it is appropriate for our motto to be inscribed in the
halls of our highest level of Government, then it is
certainly appropriate to display it on the walls
of our schools.

God is in our pledge, our National Anthem, nearly
every patriotic song and in our founding documents.
We honor His birth, death, and resurrection as holidays
and we turn to Him in prayer in times of crisis. If God
offends you, then I suggest you consider another part
of the world as your new home, because God is part of
our culture and we are proud to have Him.

We are proud of our heritage and those who have so
honorably defended our freedoms. We celebrate

Independence Day, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and
Flag Day. We have parades, picnics, and barbecues
where we proudly wave our flag. As an American,
I have the right to wave my flag, sing my National
Anthem, quote my national motto, and cite my pledge
whenever and wherever I choose. If the Stars and Stripes
offend you, or you don't like Uncle Sam, then you
should seriously consider a move to another part of
this planet.

The American culture is our way of life, our heritage,
and we are proud of it. We are happy with our culture
and have no desire to change, and we really don't care
how you did things where you came from. We are
Americans, like it or not, this is our country,  our
land, and our lifestyle.

Our First Amendment gives every citizen the right
to express his opinion about our government, culture,
or society, and we will allow you every opportunity
to do so. But once you are done complaining, whining,
and griping about our flag, our pledge, our national
motto, or our way of  life, I highly encourage you take
advantage of one other great American freedom,
"The right to leave."

It sure is. But tell that to the idiot 9th circuit court, who ruled to take out "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance.
