Vanity: The Pledge of Allegiance is Unconstitutional - If That Doesn't Convince You What Will?
June 26, 2002 | Jim Robinson

Posted on 06/26/2002 11:48:43 PM PDT by Jim Robinson

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,

Jim Robinson

Geez Jim.

I am sitting here reading through this and anticipating that you would've had the requisite address' and phone Numbers in order to begin a FReep of "Biblical proportions" at the end of the post.

Ahhh you lemme down.

Joe Farah disagrees with you. Appeals or protests won't sway the liberals and socialists who are in power. The best thing to do is to pull out your children from the government schools and let those who want their children to be brainwashed in the tenets of socialism, atheism, and mindless political correctness have the government schools. The rest of us can send our children to private schools or if we can't afford to do that, to home school them. Where the future of our country is concerned, let's send the establishment and the public school system a message --- with our feet. Its the only way to take back our country.

This is just another attempt by the self-righteous extreme liberals (and liberal judges) to tell the majority of Americans how they can run their lifes. It is all a power and control game. The liberals say that the majority has to respect their views and be tolerant. Yet the liberals are not tolerant when it comes to telling the majority how to run their lifes. To remove the words "one nation under God" would be disrespecting the majority of Americans who at least believe in a supreme being. Nobody is telling anyone which god you have to worship, but the majority of Americans comprising nearly all religions believe in a supreme being which watches over us (be it Christian, Jew, Muslim, Buhddist, etc.). By removing the phrase "one nation under God", the rights and beliefs of the majority is again being squashed and ignored for the benefit of the extreme minority. How many objections in this country does it take to over rule the rights of the majority in this nation of millions --- just one extreme winer or wacko with too much time and money on their hands...or does it take ten or a hunderd, a thousand.

The rights of the minority are not being violated --- is his daughter forced to recite the pledge --- is someone taking notes on who actually says the pledge, is someone taking notes on who does not know the pledge, is someone taking notes on who is reciting the full pledge in its entirity --- and again is anybody humiliating anyone who does not fully comply? Of course, not.

The pledge is recited in respect and admiration of this country and its freedoms --- even the freedom of the vast minority to try to trample the rights of everyone else. However, the courts are not supposed to make up new laws and riduclous new interpretations of the constitution and our laws not based on reality or common sense. This wacko actually said that he fears for his life and family --- he has a security system. In many other countries, he would not even have the right to protest --- their security systems are 9 mm silencers used by Fidel and his likes around the world.

The pledge is recited to also show respect for the sacrifice of others before us and currently to put their lives at risk to defend our freedoms and at times lose them in defense of our freedoms and way of live. These judges don't even respect that. They should be removed they are obviously either senile, mentally unstable, or just don't even know enough about the intent of our legal system to be judges.

This will be overturned, but it is time for the majority of Americans to put an end to the constant assault on our beliefs and traditions by the power hungry liberals. The additional drain on our legal system and monetary resources which could be either productively used or (more productively) returned to the taxpayer directly. Tom Dashle and company are directly to blame for this now. Tom and the others in the (DNCs --- Deviates 'n criminals)should quit blocking Bushes appointments to the federal courts --- they were the biggest winers when even the totally wacko extremists of Clinton's judicial appointments were debated or blocked (not even the majority of his appointments). Power politics by the rats again.

The elections are coming, and it is more than time to fix the rat blockage of the Senate.

Provided the Republicans have the good sense to use it. If ever there was an election that needed to be nationalized in the spirit of the Contract With American, it's the one in November.

Man who sued to stop pledge explains reasons for suit (06-26) 17:42 PDT ELK GROVE, Calif. (AP) --

Sacramento atheist Michael Newdow said Wednesday he was trying to restore the Pledge of Allegiance to its pre-1954 version because no one should be forced to worship a religion in which they don't believe.

But if the threatening messages on his answering machine are any indication, the American public is not thanking him.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Wednesday the phrase "one nation under God" amounts to a government endorsement of religion in violation of the separation of church and state and can no longer be recited in schools.
------------------------------------------------------------
If I could remember the freeper names of those atheists who were quizzing you the other day about no religion-bashing, I'd ping them.

Well said Jim. I would like to add that voting for third party candidates will not get the job done.

Liberal Judges to America: The constitution is unconstitutional.

The best thing to do is to pull out your children from the government schools and let those who want their children to be brainwashed in the tenets of socialism, atheism, and mindless political correctness have the government schools.

And when President Hillary Clinton declares all private education unconstitutional, with her horde of liberal judges to back her up and her propaganda apparatus in the media to sing her praises, what then?

The battle has to be won in the arena of ideas, in the public sector. If we abandon that battlefied, the Republic is lost.

Conservatives are mostly about the business of living. Liberals are professional activists and agitators, making a living off the public dole. While I don't advocate professional conservative politicians, conservatives better get in the fight, and they better do it with the same bare-knuckles brawling mentality as do the commie-libs.

We're not dealing with people of integrity with whom we have some theoretical philosophical difference. We're dealing with the avowed enemies of the nation who will stop at nothing to see the country destroyed in its present form to be replaced with their socialist one-world utopia.

It's crunch time. And it's crunch time now.
