... Castle said, "it is not an overstatement to call it a hate crime."

For libs, anything they disagree with is a hate crime.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Not one to stand idly by in the face of perceived injustice, the 77-year-old former Catholic has written a long brief to the U.S. Supreme Court in support of California atheist Michael Newdow, who urged the justices Wednesday to drop "under God" from the pledge.

And people like her are supposed to be the ones passing down wisdom to the younger generation. Sheesh!

If a lefty says it is a hate crime, then it is a hate crime!!!

Republicans are dividers, not uniters.

But Castle's is the only one that sets forth the thesis that Congress put "under God" into the pledge out of hostility toward atheists.

How can it be a hate crime when an athiest doesn't even believe there is a God?

Calling the Pledge a hate crime is a hate crime.

[Blue Scourge]

In my opinion hate crime laws are hate crimes...I wonder if I can sue DC for that one...hmmm

She said the history of the pledge underscores how atheists have often been villified and attacked as "an unpopular group."

Yah, suuure.

More like: She said the history of the pledge underscores how atheists a$$#oles have often been villified and attacked as "an unpopular group."

It ain't the atheism.

[Fledermaus]

It doesn't matter.

For argument sakes let's say the Supreme Court forces "Under God" be removed.

After that we will see the largest civil disobiedience this country has ever seen as the 90-95% that want it kept in will say it anyway.

Anytime I recite the Pledge after that, I'm going to SCREAM "Under God" anyway.

What are they going to do? Arrest me?

As an atheist and a conservative, I am disgusted by liberal attention-starved atheist activists, who don't have a life or a clue. And this 77 year old blue hair is being taken seriously by the Supreme Court?

I became an atheist around age 5, around the same time I discovered Santa was really my mom. But I have no need to push it on anyone, and I think all religious artifacts in the US from previous generations should be left in tact, as they are part of our heritage.

I find it funny that these so-called radical atheists are afraid to go after Islam, which is by far the most oppressive religion on the planet. They know the Christians won't car bomb them like the towelheads will.
