"Majority rules" is exactly what the Constitution and Bill of Rights is supposed to prevent.

You forgot about ammendment 99
"All preceeding rules are null and void if Eagler is in majority"

Again, no this country was not founded ON Christianity. It was founded BY Christians- well a majority of Christians.

Big difference, considering all of the In God We... and God Bless... and all that stuff you see on the coins or in our pledges was added in the past 50 years...

You can place your trust in some deity that may or may not exist...

I will place my trust in myself, everyone I know and in our Armed Forces.

The government should endorse Christianity, and our taxes should go to support it. Also, Christian leaders should be able to decide what you can read, listen to, and what you can say. All children should be indoctrinated into Christianity.

You agree? Then I guess the ACLU isn't for you. Maybe there will be a Christian version of Iran you can move to some day.

I hope your being sarcastic.

That's JUST what the US needs, our own version of the Taliban leading the United States.

Just think of the freedom we would have under a government composed of looneys like Falwell and Robertson.

Seems to me like the ACLU is doing a fair job in that department, thank you.

Ya know what? I've tried to come up with a short phrase that sums up what I think about this crap but I can't. This is the kind of shyt that happens when you get a bunch of people with nothing constructive to do in a room with less than a handfull of individuals who feel they've been "wronged" because somebody hurt they're poor wittle feelings...WhaWhaWha *sniff* or they heard/saw something that offends them in some manner because they don't have the inteligence enough to realize that other people are different from them. Let me tell you something brother, If you want to paint "God bless buttpumpers" on the side of your house in dogshyt then by god go for it, and the first pantywaste, tree-huggin, ACLU wannabe, brainless-crybaby that stops to whine about it deserves to be shown what it's like to live without freedom in any way so as it sticks in they're head like that dogshyt stuck to the side of your house.

WhaWha church and state WhaWhaWha church and state WhaWhaWha blah blah.....get a real fediddlein job.

I believe in America, Mom and Apple Pie.

...and MickyD vanilla shakes.

As to the issue of "one nation under god" or "in god we trust"... tell me; how much sweat fell off your balls the last time you uttered them? Did they harm you? They are words.. nothing more.

The real issue is?

Words and nothing more? Than you will have no problem with making people happy and removing all those signs, I guess. After all, they are just words, and have no greater meaning for you or any other American.

As to myself, the words "God Bless America" don't bother me, but what's wrong with honoring the desires and respecting those who feel differently? The point of this was not the words themselves, but where they were posted: at an elementary school. And posting those words at an elementary school is constitutionally illegal, if you want to get picky. Some people want to get picky. So what? That's their right, and people in this nation have a responsibility to respect the beliefs of others, IMHO.

Maybe because originally "America, Land of the Freeloaders, Home of the Timid" or "In Quakers We Trust" just didn't make the cut..

Or because the majority have decided that the words "In God We Trust" have the same import to Americans as "..Mom and Apple Pie", and as such, have become intwined as part of the American Identity.

Why would I consent to having the words of my childhood pledge to my nation expunged and removed from the public psyhe on basis of a wailing from a voicefrous minority?

The Supreme Court in essence told the ACLU "get lost" on this subject.

If you think it's hateful and offensive, and just can't stand it... well gee; too freakin bad. So Move.

Fek it, nevermind.

I don't care, I was just going to make a point.

Hang, may I politely request that you stuff it with both the personal and religous slander? Thank you.

I don't find it hateful and offensive. I do believe that some find it, if not hateful (which I just don't see) then offensive. So, these people aren't entitled to that? It makes perfect sense to me. I also believe that putting that message at a school amounts to a state endorsement of religion/religious statement, whichever you pick, and that is unconstitutional.
