This "God" you keep referring to has been part of no American heritage, but something thrown onto us during WWII.

Before WWII, our nation seemed to do quite fine without Federal sponsored religion... and as you say Eagler, or was it Rip?, our society has been DECLINING since the '50s or '60s.... Interesting...

Y'know...Old Osama said he would hit us where we least expect. We were suckerpunched against yesterday. Think about this.. This is the 2nd time since 9/11 that both parties joined on the steps of the Whitehouse to show their patriotism. We were hit again just like we were on 9/11. This time from within.


Ya know Rip, comparing the death of 2800+ people and the horrible injuries to scores of others to a circuit court's decision upholding the US Constitution is so grotesquely ludicrous it defies explanation.

Tumor, I would LOVE for California to become an independent Nation. We have the fifth largest economy in the World and, in all candor, you need us a hell of a lot more than we need you. Look up any agricultural crop and you'll see California in the top 5 in production of everything but maple syrup.

I never felt this way about an independent California until I started reading these BBS and discovered just how out of touch we are with the rest of the Nation...and the longer I read them the more I not only want independence, but I want to erect a big fence around us to keep all you right wing Archie Bunker wanna-be nut burgers out. And at the risk at sounding just as reactionary as some of you do (thinking the 9th circuit court was a local SF tradition?? LOL Hortlund is right, Americans are uneducated) I want to plant land mines at our borders with the USA and order our border guards to shoot on sight.

Please, throw us out of the Union. We don't need you.

"GOD" itself would cover Buddha, Allah, all of them.

Incidently, the ruling should have been "No children are required to say the Pledge in school"..similar to that of the Prayer in school ruling.  To make Pledge "Unconstitutional" is the same as making "Prayer" unconstitutional.  Now, to make them unconstitutional by forcing someone to recite it in a school IMO would have been the proper way to do this. They went to far.  And thankfully, both partys recognize it.

God doesn't cover Buddists.  Or Taoists.  Or Hindus, or 50% of the world's other religions.  Nevermind atheists.

What if I was atheist (which I am not) and my son or daughter had to go to school and say "under God" every day in a pledge to the flag.  If I had been teaching him/her that there is no God, which is my right as a parent, my child would feel that the pledge does't mean anything.  It's just a bunch of words to make people feel safe and comfortable.

All because Ike wanted America to distinguish itself from communist Russia.

If everyone wants to be equally represented and valued, God should not be a part of politics or government.

Religion period. Did I say Federal sponsored Christianity?

No, indeed, I did not. The fact that there are the words "God" on anything thats Federal means that there is Federally sponsored religion...

This one was way over my head. Could you explain please?


(remember that I only have a distorted view of the USA as 90% of my knowledge on this field comes from TV shows like Malibu Beach, Buffy....):D
