Thanks so much, Jim, for ACCEPTING THE CHALLENGE.

[libertyman]

Mr. Robinson, I mean no disrespect whatsoever, but I need to tell you that we DON'T need more Republicans or Democrats in Congress, the Oval Office, or the Judiciary: we need COMMITTED CONSTITUTIONALISTS. We need more people such as the honorable Rep. RON PAUL (R-TX) in these positions if we are going to get our REPUBLIC back.

There is one tactic that you may have forgotten to mention in your list, & I think it's an important one: IMPEACHMENT. We should call on Congress to IMPEACH these activist udges in the 9th Curcuit Court of Appeals.

IMPEACH! IMPEACH! IMPEACH!

Hard to believe that a little "ditty" written by a Socialist, which didn't mention "God" for it's first 62 years, is causing so much consternation.

Under the First Amendment, anyone is free to exercise practically any religious belief they choose; they may not use the power of Government to impose it on anyone else. What's so complicated about the concept??

[LarryLied]

Fear is an effective tactic in getting out the Republican vote. If Democrats retake the House, John Conyers will be the chairman of the Committee on Judiciary. Conyers might retire in a year or so. Barney Frank is next in line. Anyone care to have either man in charge of the following:

. . .civil and criminal judicial proceedings and Federal courts and judges . .. issues relating to bankruptcy, espionage, terrorism, the protection of civil liberties, constitutional amendments, immigration and naturalization, interstate compacts, claims against the United States, national penitentiaries, Presidential succession, antitrust law, revision and codification of the statutes of the United States, state and territorial boundary lines and patents, copyrights and trademarks.

Does this now make money non legal tender in those 9 western states since it has in God we trust on them?

[MrNatural]

Yes! Peggy Noonan said it..History is accelerating, gathering its forces,
hurtling towards an unknown end...

We are now in the time of crisis, when everything happening has great
impact on the future. The election of GWB, 9-11, and whatever comes next; the history of the 21stcentury is being decided now.

Now everything is in flux. Now the lines are being drawn. .

Jim, you are right: Now, we are on one side or the other.

[summer]

I don't care what anyone says about me, or what labels they pin on me....

bttt.

BTW, in case anyone happened to remember: we are still a nation at war. And, I for one intend to keep praying that God is on our side in this conflict.

Also, earlier this year, FL Gov Jeb Bush signed a new law requiring the Pledge of Allegiance to be said daily in the public schools.


Gov Jeb Bush is way ahead on these issues....

In addition, Gov. Jeb Bush recently signed another new law, requiring public school students to recite the Declaration of Independence. Such new law is explained HERE.

For everyone who does not have a valid voter registeration card.
Don't leave home for the voter booth without it.

Federal government information for military absentee voting
and for anyone who has moved and not yet registered again to vote.

The 2002-03 Voting Assistance Guide is the primary source of information
for citizens to understand the procedures for registering and voting
in their state or territory of legal voting residence.

[swheats]

Right On Jim!

It's already too late. I know that may seem defeatist. But I think it's more realist. If all we have to defend the principles that made this country great are the likes of Bush, Cheney, Lott and the current Republican leadership we are in it up to our earlobes.

Today's Republican leadership doesn't have the stomach to do what it will take to keep the country strong. They're too busy arguing with the same faulty premises that Democrats are. A lite-socialism. Seemingly impotent the lot of them--can you say political viagra.

Because our current Republican leaders constantly and consistently fail to stand on principle we now have a situation where the guy that offer's the biggest gov't check wins the day...period. And this beast's increasing appetite grows by what it feeds on.

The funny thing is: the harder it gets for the average Joe to feed his family, pay for healthcare, etc., (a direct result of huge gov't and tax-greed) the easier it will be for the left to bait him with an "easy" solution--effectively a socialist "panacea".

We've gone so far down that road already that I fear nothing will be done. Not that something can't be done--it simply won't be done.

Today's "right-wing" leader is merely a lesser Democrat: the farm bill, steel, education, gov't growth, social security, campaign finance, immigration, the "patriot" act,etc.

It's easy to be a democrat. Your focus is to steal wealth, attack the producers, feed on the host--certainly not to create anything. Hell, why create when all the work is being done for you? It's criminal to rob your neighbor. So hire a democrat to do the job for you.

It's much more difficult to be the host. Especially when you're ridden with guilt: white guilt, success guilt, wealthy guilt, talent guilt, etc.. When the host is sick on his own its easy for parasites to cling.

I think most here will vote Republican in the next Senate and Rep elections. I think the only question will be Bush himself. Tho we'll probably end up voting for him too, it disturbs me that he would take it as a mandate to keep signing BAD laws and spend money faster than a Democrat. Isn't anyone concerned about the freedoms that are being infringed by the new terror legislations? Him I trust, but what would another Bill/Hill/Reno combo do with those new freedoms? THAT's the question.

[lavaroise]

"Under God."

What else do they want us to worship then? Them? Their findings? Someone's interpretationi of the natural world's wish?

NO THESE PEOPLE ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND SHOULD GO TO JAIL FOR SUBVERTING THE US GOVERNMENT AND INSTITUTING THEIR OWN FINDINGS AS TO BE WORSHIPED

What are the AMerican liberals thinking? This is calling for self-worshiping tyranny aka NorthKorea, China and what not.

[TatieBug]

This is a huge WAKE UP CALL and everybody I've come in contact with today is on your same page...LET'S ROLL...God bless America! Let's stay united and accomplish our mission...TAKE BACK THE SENATE first!

[knak]

Well, not that anybody cares what I think but I think they did America a favor today! They ticked us off! I have been seething all day. I can't recall being this mad ever! Seriously. On Yahoo, the story about the pledge; if you follow to their message board, there were over 15,000 posts on it hours ago. People are mad.

Hopefully, we'll grow some big ones and do something this time! I will.

[medved]

The people who do these kinds of things ( e.g. try to outlaw the pledge of allegiance) believe that man is a meat byproduct of random, stochastic processes, and are simply acting acordingly. This one should also be a wakeup call for anybody who views the teaching of evolutionism in American schools as harmless.

History of the

Pledge of Allegiance

 

Submitted by MAJ. Silas W. Bass

Historian General

 

Francis Bellamy (1855-1931) wrote the Pledge of Allegiance for the observance of the 400th Anniversary of the discovery of America by Columbus. Since 1891, he had been working on a journal for juveniles entitled, “Youth’s Companion.” He worked closely with James B. Upham, the editor of the paper.

Bellamy’s job on the paper was to promote patriotism and the flying of the flag over the public schools. He was made chairman of the executive committee for the national public school celebration of Columbus Day in 1892.

Bellamy visited President Benjamin Harrison to ask him to endorse the idea of a flag over every schoolhouse and the teaching of patriotism in all the schools. On June 21, 1892, President Harrison signed the proclamation that said, “Let the national flag float on every schoolhouse in the country and the exercises be such as shall impress upon our youth the patriotic duties of American citizenship!”

Francis Bellamy wrote these now famous words, first printed in “Youth’s Companion.” September 8, 1892:

“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

At the Second National Flag Conference held in Washington, D.C., on Flag Day, 1924, they added the words, “of America.”

A further change was made in the Pledge by House Joint Resolution 243, approved by President Eisenhower on June 14, 1954, which added the words, “under God,” so that it now reads:

“one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”

This is one thing that keeps me wondering if Bush is an ok president. If Bush were to stick to his guns and insist on ignoring ABA recommendations, that would be a significant victory.

The best way we can help is to inform people just how liberal judges are and how liberal the ABA is. I heard an old America's Voice program years ago, because the former president of the ABA was on. He said that Clinton was the geatest president in US history.

And that clown was supposed to say who the President is allowed to appoint? No wonder our court system is messed up.

[RaceBannon]

The answer is not found in a Party. It is found in the moral state of the elected, and that is reflected in the moral state of the voter.

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.

[Arthur Wildfire! March]

Please take heart. Solomon once said [in Proverbs], Pride comes before a fall.

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.
