This is your wake-up call
My friends, I've been taking a lot of flak lately because of my stand on President Bush and the Republicans. Well, my thinking is that the coming elections are so critical that the very continuation of America as we know it may be at stake.All of our institutions are controlled by liberals. Both houses of Congress are awash in liberals and socialists and moderates and very few conservatives. The Courts are infested with liberal activist judges. Our media and entertainment industries are overrun by liberals. Our universities are overrun by liberals. Our public education systems are overrun by liberals. The liberals control public opinion through their controlled nightly news programs and their daily liberal newspapers. My God, the whole damn country is run by hordes of mushy headed liberals and socialists in biblical proportions! And now they even have the audacity to openly attack patriotism and even God Almighty Himself!
A United States Federal Appeals Court in California has declared the
Pledge of Allegiance to be unconstitutional! And this simply because it contains the phrase, "Under God." I'm speechless! I just sit here and shake my head. Don't even know what to say.
Wake up America! We've been saying that for years. The far right-wingers have been shouting it for decades. Wake up America! Wake up America, the socialists are coming!
And now it's here. The Republic is in grave danger. The liberal activist judiciary has tested the waters. If America does not wake up and not only say no, but hell no to this abomination, then what will the emboldened court take next? Well, I don't know about you, but I'm not gonna sit around on my butt doing nothing while we find out.
Call to action: Get off your Butts! Call or write your reps! Voice your opinion. Demand that they do something about this. Tell them that America will not allow this outrage to stand! Demand of your Senators that they move President Bush's judiciary appointments through the Senate! The Democrat controlled Senate is holding up his appointments, hoping to delay as many as they possibly can until Bush appoints judges more to their liking, or possibly even until they can get Gore or Hillary elected in 2004. God forbid!
And, I'm convinced more than ever, that we must have a complete turnover of the judiciary in the next decade. This is critical. The liberal activist judiciary is getting more and more aggressive. If we do not get some conservative judges in there pretty soon, this game is going to be over.
How do we get conservative judges? Well, I can guarantee you that we will not get them as long as the Senate is controlled by Democrats. We must have a Republican President to appoint conservative judges and we must have a Republican majority so they will be moved through the Senate. This is one of the primary reasons why I want to push so hard to help elect Republicans to the Congress and especially to the Senate. And this is why I want to push so hard to help re-elect President Bush in 2004.
Wake up America! And wake up right-wingers! Vote out the Democrats. Vote in a huge Republican majority so we can retake America from the liberals!
We cannot afford a loss or even a squeaker in the next couple of elections. We must have Reaganesque landslides! Send them to Washington with a mandate from the American people! We want a complete turnover and makeover of the judiciary and all of the government. Give is back our Liberty!
This is not the time for sending a negative message. It does us no good for conservatives to sit on their hands or to vote third party. The only message that sends is to say you don't care if we have wall-to-wall liberals forever. The Democrats will love you. The liberal activist judiciary will love you.
The message you should send is one by pen and ink, or by phone calls and personal meetings. Send a message now to your congressmen and to the Republican Party. Now is the time to send the message. Tell them what we want them to run on and what we want them to do when they get in there. Send them a positive message filled with patriotism and love for God and Country. Tell them that we are fed up with the liberals and we want our country back and we want our rights back. Tell your relatives and your friends and neighbors. Tell them to write and call and visit. And tell them to vote for the Republican in their districts. We must do this if we want it back. We cannot afford to fail.
God bless you all and thank you for bearing with me. I love my country and I love my freedom more than life itself. I don't care what anyone says about me, or what labels they pin on me. From this day forward I am a Bush-bot and proud of it! I am going to help turn this thing around or I'm going down in flames trying.
FReegards,

That is the key battle. Right there. The Great Rushmore Hiker, Daschle, who is senator of a state that voted for Bush, is supporting judges so perverse that people wouldn't leave their kids alone with them.
I read one court battle. A judge allowed a burglar to win a lawsuit. The burglar broke a window and snuck into a house. He got cut pretty badly. The judge apparently believes that we should make windows out of safer material than glass so we don't injure any more burglars because the burglar won the lawsuit. This is the kind of bozo that Daschle is supporting.
A judge appointed in 1971 when the Senate was 54 demorats, 44 Republicans, 1 independent, and 1 Conservative.
Your ignorance of the inner machinations of how Judicial process works is showing. Also since this Judge has been livng for 30 years in San Francisco where the atmosphere is all liberal all the time probably has something to do with it, IMHO.
Requiring children in a public school to recite the Pledge, as modified in 1954, does.
Our problem is spiritual, not political. The answer is found in all of us returning to a Bible Based Christianity.
We have reached a time in our country that we have never been in probably, one where the immoral outnumber the moral. We would have leaders that honored God if the people honored God. Something as simple as the repitition of a phrase like the PLEDGE OF ALLIEGENCE becoming illegal in our nation, that is only a symptom of the greater problem, and that problem is that we as a nation are not the Christians we fool ourselves into thinking we are.
That is our true reality, that is what we must wake up to. Our fate is in God's hands. That is where we need to turn.
In other words you do not have a smoking gun here. Modern eyes construe the excerpt, especially out of context, quite differently from the way that Thomas Jefferson himself did.
I sincerely do not know if it is used by those who don't know or those who want to deceive.
Jefferson signed into law a bill giving land to missionaries. He rode in his carriage up to the Hill for full Sunday services in the House of Representatives. He wanted religion to flourish. He never wanted religion out of the public square. That is what the first amendment was all about. It was an antitrust act of sorts. No Federal religion could be established. That way hundreds of different faiths could flourish.
I simply do not understand your side. There is no basis for what you contend. Zero. None. Nada.
And for over 150 years there was no separation of church and state. Religious oaths for public office weren't knocked down by SCOTUS until the 1960s.
All I can figure is some have such a deep hostility to Christianity, that they are willing to prostitute their intellect to pretend history is not history and the constitution does not say what it clearly says.
Those people should be aware that this has little to do with religion. It has everything to do with liberty.
I don't care if Muslims want to pray in school (well I do care but not in a legal sense). They have that right. So do Sikhs, Jews and anyone else.
Be aware, your twisting of the constitution, you reliance on fiat judicial ruling can come back to bite. It always does. Trust the people to do what is right. Trust in liberty. Do not trust unelected judges. Do not applaud a judicial ruling censoring the speech of others because you don't like what they say. You could be next.
Solomon was referring to arrogant pride. This is clearly it. The liberal courts messed up. I forsee the very outrage you are hoping for.
Perhaps the courts should take 'God' out of the Constitution? Any reference from God could be removed? Wouldn't that be an interesting idea. And it makes about as much sense.
It takes away our freedom of speech and religion. That is how. And next month they will chip away a little more, then a little more. Liberals never stop. We have 100 years of history to prove that. The goal of liberals is a society where all which is not prohibited is mandatory.
We need a new frog.
When Jo-Lo and Britany get upset over this, something may happen until then, the waters just getting hotter.
BTW, I'll still heed you call to action.
Better to light a candle then curse the darkness.
Private and parochial schools can also be liberal (as I know from personal experience). Conservative schools can be found, but don't automatically make the mistake and asssume they're conservative (as I did). Instead of having them interview you to assess YOUR suitability, you should interview the school to assess THEIR suitability. Find out if they share your conservative values.
I don't need pandering punk politicians to tell me what America is "under". Now or in 1954.
This is one reason why I support Robert Bork's proposal to amend the constitution such that Congress -- the most direct representatives of the people -- may, by a supermajority vote of both houses, nullify any court ruling.
