What do you think about the Federal Judge's ruling that the phrase "under God" in the Pledge Of Allegiiance is Unconstitutuional ?
I think it stink"s

[Carl Harrod]

I do not agree that it should be taken out because, like it or not, religion has had a very great impact on the growth and development of this nation. It has only been since people started to move away or deny that influence that things have become so corrupted. 

In case you haven't heard this before, this is a narrative done by Red Skelton quite a while back: (I guess he saw it coming)

Commentary on the Pledge of Allegiance
By Red Skelton

I                 Me; an individual; a committee of one.
 
Pledge         Dedicate all of my worldly goods to give without self-pity.
 
Allegiance    My love and my devotion. 

To the Flag   Our standard; Old Glory ; a symbol of Freedom; wherever she waves there is respect, because your loyalty has
                   given her a dignity that shouts, Freedom is everybody's job. 

United         That means that we have all come together.

States         Individual communities that have united into forty-eight great states. Forty-eight individual communities with pride
                  and dignity and purpose. All divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common purpose, and that is love 
                  for country. 

And to the Republic       Republic--a state in which sovereign power is invested in representatives chosen by the people to govern.
                                  And government is the people; and it's from the people to the leaders, not from the leaders to the people.

For which it stands

One Nation     One Nation--meaning, so blessed by God. 

Indivisible        Incapable of being divided.

With Liberty    Which is Freedom; the right of power to live one's own life, without threats, fear, or some sort of retaliation. 

And Justice     The principle, or qualities, of dealing fairly with others. 

For All             For All-- which means, boys and girls, it's as much your country as it is mine. 

And now, boys and girls, let me hear you recite the Pledge of Allegiance:
I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands; one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country, and two words have been added to the Pledge of Allegiance: "Under God."; Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer, and that would be eliminated from schools, too?

Afer rereading my post on the ruling by the Judge, I hope no one thought I was saying that I was agreeing with the ruling.
  After all,  freedom of religon is why this country was founded.

You know, I'm surprised that with all of these people complaining about God being in the things like the Pledge of Allegiance that I've not heard of them complaining about the phrase "In God We Trust" that is on all of our money. Hopefully they never do. Might have to hurt someone
