Vanity: The Pledge of Allegiance is Unconstitutional - If That Doesn't Convince You What Will?

[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

[Skooz]

Yeah. That'll show 'em.

[Pythagoras]

"This is another clear sign that the Communist, Marxist, Socialist or whatever name you give them are now in position to take over america with out firing a shot as stated by Krushev back in the sixties when he said, we will inflitrate your churches, schools, media and courts."

They have already done this. What are the Republicans doing? ROFL their *stategy* consists of attempting to beat the Democrats by caving in on multiple fronts and attempting to look politically correct, multicultural, sensitive (AIDS to Africa/Amnesty)and pretty.

"One nation under God" keeps the Pledge of Allegiance from establishing a state religion, ala the Soviet Union. Recognition of God is not a religion. Atheism is not a religion. No religion is threatened by including "under God." All are threatened when a nation allows itself to be Supreme.
If you pledge to a godless nation you pledge to a nation that has usurped God's place in your heart.
The Ninth Circuit Court is WRONG.

[HiTech RedNeck]

We need to learn how to play the spoiler game too... we need more Ralph Naders! Anything to siphon away 5 to 10 percent of what would normally be a Democrat vote.

To our modern-day Paul Reveres: Please ride forth with this word.

And to Jim:
In 1973 it was Roe v. Wade - shouldn't that have woken us up?
In 2000 it was Civil Unions in VT - shouldn't that have woken us up?
In 2002 it was 'Campaign Finance Reform' - shouldn't that have woken us up?

It's the same old problem that has plagued selfish, lazy man since the dawn of time...it's always Somebody Else's Problem.

I am very thankful that you have never thought so. You give me a glimmer of hope in an ever-darkening time.

[Greg Weston]

I'm not an atheist but if I was instructed to say something I didn't believe at all I wouldn't be happy about it.

I just don't like people telling me how I should pray and I especially don't like jackass politicians trying to coerce me into something. As far as I'm concerned they can go straight to hell!!

[Pythagoras]

""One nation under God" keeps the Pledge of Allegiance from establishing a state religion, ala the Soviet Union. Recognition of God is not a religion. Atheism is not a religion. No religion is threatened by including "under God." All are threatened when a nation allows itself to be Supreme."

You see it is *insensitive* to atheists, Hindus, Buddhists or whoever to include that phrase so that is why it is ruled *unconstitutional* in our wonderful diverse politically correct multicultural society.

[HiTech RedNeck]

You're being invited. Not instructed, any more than putting a creche on the courthouse lawn is instructing people to believe in it. I hope that distinction is not wasted on you.

[Rocko]

Bump.

[.30Carbine]

Jackasses will, in all probability, go to hell. Take heed.

[Pythagoras]

Interesting paragraph.

"With equal pleasure I have as often taken notice that Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people--a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principles of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by their joint counsels, arms, and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established general liberty and independence." - John Jay, Federalist Paper #2.

[bimbo]

This will be overturned …

There is a problem with the ruling being overturned: The Republicans in Congress and here on FreeRepublic will celebrate mightily; they will declare a victory over the forces of atheism; they will congratulate themselves on the success of their mass mailing to Congress, etc., etc.

Meanwhile, the Liberals and Marxists will remain silent, and simply target another point in American Culture and Tradition. They know that the assault on the Pledge will be revisited another day by another generation of activists. Their Long March will continue.

[Skooz]

Exactly. We need to find a way "to siphon away 5 to 10 percent of what would normally be a Democrat vote," instead of willfully siphoning away 5 to 10 percent of what would normally be a Republican vote.

Here is an interesting thought. In the last election the Mexican vote was something around 3-5% of the total I believe mostly in states like California and Texas, neither of which will be up for grabs in the next election. How about instead of throwing away amnesty on some delusional ethnic pandering scheme in the process alienating staunch conservatives what about appealing to working class socially conservative voters in battleground states. That is just my opinion, I could be wrong.

[Greg Weston]

Naw there are alot of harmless jackasses. They won't make the trip. The ones pushing an agenda down your throat however....Take heed indeed.

[JohnPaulJones]

Katie Couric is on the beat this morning! The martist/liberalist's are on the defensive today....

[Pythagoras]

How many Mexicans are there in places like Iowa, Wisconsin, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Michigan?

[Skooz]

Just because you don't like something doesn't make it unconstitutional. If that were the case, I would have filed suit to have the Oakland Raiders declared unconstitutional years ago.

[mombonn]

Thank you, Jim! I pray America wakes up before it disappears. Your words should be shouted from every roof.

[Greg Weston]

Back when I was in school I don't remember it as an "invitation". Maybe it's different now.
