Little Mr Mahatma

Supreme Court "Under God"


The Supreme Court will look at the "Under God" controversy, that perhaps those words in our Pledge of Allegiance are some sort of religious affirmation.


I'm hoping that the Supreme Court finds the cajones to say that indeed those words do violate the Constitution and that the worsd should be removed from the Pledge and our money.


Some people feel that, heck, it's only two words and you don't have to say them. You don't even have to recite the pledge. Well then, to be fair, let's add "Under Satan" to the Pledge. It's only two words. You don't have to say them.


Some people feel that removing the words will remove religion from our our lives. Ridiculous. What it will do is remove religion from the Government. If the Middle East hasn't taught you anything it should. Religion and Politics are an extrmemely dangerous mix.


Some people feel that our country is a Christian country and that the words are appropriate. Like I just said above - Religion and Politics are a bad mix. Our Founding Fathers may have been mostly Christian but they understood and explicitly created a separation between Church and State.


"President" Bush and his Crusade. The Middle East and the screams for Jihad. Any real difference.


Besides, asking a kid to recite the Pledge of Allegiance always smacked me of sheer propaganda. Even when I was a kid in Elementary School it sounded fishy. What's going to happen if you don't recite the Pledge, will someone kick you out of the country? If you do recite will someone give you a gun and trot you off to war? Oh yeah, Ashcroft, Rumsfeld, Bush, Cheney...it's a reality. It's a bitch of a reality.
