As I stated the Pledge is my l"line in the sand", my stance of saying enough.
It's not about the history of the pledge, it's about the 10 Commandments not being allowed to be shown in a court of law. It is about people demanding our government exclude Christmas as a recognized national holiday. It is about this MINORITY taking away anything in public that even mentions GOD.
They have bastardized the Constitution to serve their own purposes. A community should be allowed to have a Christmas tree in the town square. The little village I grew up in, in Ohio had for over 100 years had a Christmas tree in the central park area, the streets lined with decorations and carollers and ice skaters and a way of life. But all those are gone now because someone sued. So my kids will never look in awe at the tree or hear carollers in the square.
Hell, I'm not even a Judeo-Christian GOD worshipper but I do long for the way things were before these bullshit lawsuits took away my right to worship where and how I wanted. And if you don't believe these lawsuits have then you are blind. I cannot publicly say a prayer in any government building, or display any item of my religion in the town I grew up because the village says noone can for fear it may lead to a lawsuit.
People died fighting for the right to worship as they pleased in this country and we are thumbing our noses at their sacrifices because a MINORITY wants everything their way and that way is to exclude a 3 letter word and any reference to any religion from public.
