Howlin howled:
I am a person who believes this country is MAJORITY RULE........that's who.

I say...whuuu?
Which explains the continued existence of the institution of slavery. Think before you post! The nature of the republic is majority influence....though the nature of our particular beast is money talks.

More howling:
And I'm sick of people LIKE YOU whining and trying to DENY ME MY RIGHTS.

No one is denying you anything here. Katya8 was correctly pointing out that the pledge as amended in 1956 denies the American-ness of many non-monotheistic groups.

Your histrionics make you look ridiculous, sir (or ma'am). Calm down. Breathe. Think. You are not being denied anything. This ruling, however, may mean that many people feel more accepted as Americans because the pledge, a core belief, is no longer contrary to their other core beliefs. Nor should it be contrary to yours, with those two words removed.

* Restore the pledge to its pre-Eisenhower condition representing ALL Americans! *

I'm not interetested in their core beliefs. This country was founded on OUR core beliefs. If they don't agree with our core beliefs, or if our core beliefs offend them, perhaps they are in the wrong country.

Nor should it be contrary to yours, with those two words removed.

I have just as much right to say those two words as you do to not say them.
