Should we ask the 9th Circuit?

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

Should we ask the 9th Circuit?
It was Dashel who called this Judge back from retirement, because Dashel would not allow any judges recommended by the Pubs. I am so sick of this they lied right to your face and want to make you doubt yourself, no they would not do that? Yet they would!
Call a spade a spade they are evil!!<,P>, STOP MAKING EXCUSES THEY ARE TRYING TO DISMATEL THIS COUNTRY AND NEED TO BE STRUNG UP AND HUNG FOR TREASON!!!!!!!!
So how do we bring all those who undermined this GREAT NATION to TRAIL TO BE TRIED AND HUNG!
Let get our RESOLVED, we have to find our CHARACTER BACKBONE and stop with PREVERSION DIVERSTIY!
But contacting Congressmen (already in office) and urging Freepers and friends to vote conservative (preaching to the choir) is insufficient to get a conservative majority.
We need to SEND MONEY and/or VOLUNTEER OUR TIME to conservative candidates and conservative parties so they can run effective election campaigns to move new conservatives into office. And this needs to be done before the First Amendment expires next November (CFR goes into effect.)
Campaigns are starting now, so let's put our money where our mouths are! Let's have another election like 1994!
Thanks, and Beware...
But the Republican bashing associates that I debate via email about various issues have pounced on me in this case because 2 of the 3 judges here are Republican appointees.
So how can I defend that?
The Chairman of the American Conservative Union has done just that.
With all due respect, JimRob, do you really think electing a 'huge Republican majority' will help us fight liberalism? I mean, at their core, even the most ideologically sound politicians are still just that--politicians. It's one out of a hundred, regardless of party, that actually sticks to his guns once he makes it to Capitol Hill. I fear that electing a huge Republican majority at this juncture would result in a totally self-serving, pork-loving Congress, possibly worse than the one we've got right now. There's got to be a fundamental shift in the direction of the party before I'd trust us with that kind of power. Right now, I believe it would be wasted.
We must have Reaganesque landslides!
And therein lies the problem. To have a Reaganesque landslide, you need a Reaganesque candidate. The RNC/NRCC/NRSC, as far as I can tell, does not plan to support that type of candidate in 2002. The best we can do is lobby the leadership to get behind true conservatives in the primaries, and hope that some go all the way in November. It's worthless to have a 26-seat majority if they're all RINOs. Sure, you'll get some conservative economic policy once in a while, but the social issues we all care so deeply about will be largely ignored or worse.
I understand where you're coming from, and it's fine with me if you're a Bush-bot. I hope it's okay with you if I'm not. (I like him, I just can't support all of the decisions he makes, no matter how "strategic.") I do hope FR will continue to be a place where debate can take place, even the kind that may not be so favorable toward our fearless leader. :) If not, that's fine, it's your website...but I sure would miss it.
Stop the attacks by the wacko, extreme left-wing, Democrat terrorist's on our Freedoms !!
Freedom Is Worth Fighting For !!
Molon Labe !!
I kept coming back to channel that outrage into some action right now. Get the house to impeach these two clymers for violation of their oath to protect and preserve our constitution. Finally they agreed and will be sent Tony's link re impeachment as soon as I post this.
These two leftist clowns posing as Judges,(regardless of whom appointed them, today they are leftist clowns) pushed their own personal ACLU anti constitutional agenda and violated our basic constitutional rights with this horse's a$$ agenda posing as a judicial decision.
First of all the pledge of allegiance is not a religious proclamation nor a prayer. Next, our country is not a religion nor a church. To dare to wrap our Pledge of Allegiance and our country up and call it a religion is totally left wing anti American as usual.
Their judicial agenda violated my constitutional rights and the constitutional rights of every America to say our Pledge of Allegiance.
This ACLU agenda pushed by these two incompetent leftist judges violated the core of our constitution and our first amendment rights.
Let the house impeach them. Then elect enough Republican Senators in November to up hold and enact the impeachment of these two World Class Leftist Clymers. Then in Jan/Feb when the new Republican Controlled Senate is sworn in they can impeach these leftist judges. Any Senator not voting for this impeachment will be committing political suicide as any congressRat not voting for the Impeachment:
Thanks to Tony for this info:
Pressroom ACU's Keene Calls for Impeachment of Judges Who Ruled Pledge Unconstitutional June 26, 2002
Washington, DC - American Conservative Union Chairman David Keene ripped today's 9th Circuit Court ruling that the pledge of allegiance was unconstitutional due to the inclusion of the phrase "under God" and called for the impeachment of the two judges who came up with such a ridiculous opinion regarding the separation of church and state.
"These are the kinds of goofy decisions we'll see more of if Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle and the Daschle Democrats keep bottling up the President's nominations of dozens of judicial appointments," said Keene. "The President has done a magnificent job selecting qualified individuals who will refrain from this kind of judicial activism. His nominees should be approved without further delay, and Justices Goodwin and Reinhardt should be impeached and put out to pasture."
Keene said the ruling should be immediately appealed to the full panel of the 9th Circuit Court and ultimately, if necessary, to the Supreme Court.
"If this ruling is allowed to stand, the days of 'God Bless America' and 'In God We Trust' are numbered," said Keene. "I find it absolutely amazing that anyone could interpret such general references to a supreme being as a government establishment of religion. It defies common sense. But unfortunately, that's par for the course out there on the Left coast."
Keene called on all Americans to rise up in anger and indignation and demand that Tom Daschle and the Democrats free the judicial hostages and allow the Bush appointments to bring some sanity back to our judicial system.
"This decision should bring home to the American people why the fight to appoint judges who will interpret the Constitution and not re-write it is so important," concluded Keene. "I hope every American who is outraged by this decision gets on the phone and calls Tom Daschle demanding he stop obstructing the judicial confirmation process."
And, 14 of the 9th circuit court's judges were nominated by clinton......
and confirmed by a republican controlled congress.
I will continue to support strict constitutionalist candidates......
(most are not republicans)

For what its worth: The 26th and 27th paragraphs of George Washington's farewell -
Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them. A volume could not trace all their connections with private and public felicity. Let it simply be asked: Where is the security for property, for reputation, for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are the instruments of investigation in courts of justice ? And let us with caution indulge the supposition that morality can be maintained without religion. Whatever may be conceded to the influence of refined education on minds of peculiar structure, reason and experience both forbid us to expect that national morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle.
It is substantially true that virtue or morality is a necessary spring of popular government. The rule, indeed, extends with more or less force to every species of free government. Who that is a sincere friend to it can look with indifference upon attempts to shake the foundation of the fabric?
