I am with you. I am just flat out furious.....I cannot remember when I have been this mad!

With all the real substantive issues out there to be mad about, why should this little trifle trigger such rage? Talk about your style over substance, I thought that's what we always criticized the liberals about.

I wish there had been this much outrage...heck...any outrage over Bush's bizarre recent spending spree.

The American Revolution started over a tax on tea, it's called the straw that broke the camels back.

I think that you are a)deliberately trying to bait us into arguing with you; or b)you just don't get it.

Either way, mlo, the ENTIRE country is absolutely FURIOUS about this and OUR VOICES HAVE BEEN HEARD.

Yours is being drowned out. It is important to us. Our kids CANNOT say the Pledge of Allegiance at school anymore....IT'S UNCONSITITUTIONAL.

Anway, I'm done arguing with you. I am entitled to my opinion; I think this is an important issue because the next thing you know they'll be taking away our guns, our freedom of speech, etc. This is only a small pebble in the pond, but if you let it grow, it will soon become a boulder in a raging river that sweeps our rights away, one by one by one. That is what I care about.

Yep. Lokks like this non-issue is going to be the "bread and circuses" of the conservative movement for a while. A better distraction for conservatives could not have been planned.

I always thought it was the discarding of the constitution, the trampling of the Bill of Rights, and the assault on private property that was the reason to get riled and angry.

Guess not. The pledge is obviously far more important. /sarcasm

You're either being deliberately obtuse, or else you don't understand what's going on here, or maybe you're an atheist, or maybe you're just plain stupid and can't help yourself. This is more than a simple ruling on a simple phrase that can or can't be recited. There's a lot more to it than that. This may be no big deal to you, but it should be patently obvious to you that it is a big deal to a lot of people. Most people in this country believe in God. There has been a steady trickle of court rulings that have effectively banned any mention of God, incorrectly interpreting the Constitution to create a false notion of separation of church and state. The amendment dealing with establishment of religion does NOT mean you can't talk about God or say His name in public schools or other public settings. The ACLU and these other groups will next go for "In God We Trust" on our currency. The anti-God people in this country accomplish their agenda by chipping away, little by little. This is just one move in a long line of moves, and they will keep on as long as people like you sit back and do nothing.

Please respect the fact that most of us feel very strongly about this, that we're not stupid or blind or unfamiliar with the law, and above all, stop feigning ignorance about why we're upset!

You are no conservative. Just a liberal who needs a good butt kicking.
