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.

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.
