BTW,

Daenku, your scholarship is so poor with some of the things you said, you really should research how we make laws in this country. The reason legislators won't give YOU a pledge that YOU find suitable for YOURSELF, is that people in the MAJORITY of the congressional districts have elected men and women who find the Pledge of Allegiance perfectly fine. This is the MAJORITY opinion of the US Congress and its delegates. This is exactly the reason we have an electoral college divided into 435 areas of the same population. It is the best way to determine a true MAJORITY of the nations intentions.

I would surely disagree with all those who think that this war will promote more terrorist attacks. Where are they? Attacks in Isreal have slowed down (minus the one just yesterday). We are arresting people every week with ties to Al Queda. There was one suicide bombing in Iraq, which the government claims to be military protocall. I am sorry, much like the first Gulf war, the extremly liberal media and politicians have whipped us up into a frenzy. The first Gulf war promised 10's of thousands of Americans dead, reality tells us less than 150. This war promised terrorist attacks on America, 2 weeks into it, nothing thus far. I know how this will work though. Two years down the road when a group doesn't feel the hot breath of the American military machine down its neck, they will attack and succeed. The media and all the far left politicians will say, "see we can trace this back to the war on Iraq..." That is absolutely ludicrious.

Understand that the media is primarily liberal and anti-Bush not anti-war. I say this because when Clinton ordered our troops to Bosnia to liberate people, you did not see the media or Hollywood protesting. The media and Hollywood are very fond of promoting their anti-Bush, excuse me war, rallies and marches. They are proud that they are drawing hundreds, yes hundreds, of people together in civil disobediance. Blocking roads, laying down in front of doorways, and promoting HATE SPEECH. However where is the coverage of the pro-freedom, pro-war, pro-U.S. rallies that are drawing tens of thousands of followers? You know the peaceful, legal demonstrations. You won't see Glenn Beck's rallies for America that drew 12000 freedom loving Americans in Atlanta, but CNN will show you 400 protestors in that same city. Riots incited by, ironically, anti war demonstrators in SanFran got shut down real quick by the media, so as not to blemish their "HOLIER THAN THOU" stance on this war.

I got a great email from my father in law. It showed President Bush and his cabinet,and all of their achievements in college and life, and the experience in foreign affairs that they had accumulated. Then in contrast, showed hollywood's staunchest opponents, and thier mockery of the President's intelligence. Guess what? The President and his cabinet were drastically more educated and qualified to determine public policy for this nation, as not one of the hollywood hotshots had even taken classes in foreign affairs, history, social work, international law, political science, and so on. In fact many had dropped out of college, and a few out of high school. There was not one college graduate in the group, not even the brainchild of the hollywood left Susan Sarandon. I would like to keep it that way. While there are problems in our government, I sure as hell wouldn't give over the reins to the hollywoood policy makers.

First of all buddy, the Amish don't vote. I suppose I wouldn't know for sure as I live in Ohio, lol.

Second of all, the congressional districts, on which the electoral college is based, are based on population, equal population. No district is bigger than the other, give or take a couple thousand. The House exists for the Majority, the Senate (who by the way also approved the current Pledge) was a compromise to give the small states (Rhode Island and Connecticut to be precise) equal representation as the large states (Virginia and New York). The Judicial system was set in place to "check" the constitutionality of laws created by the Legislative branch. Funny...how can you deem something unConstitutional if it isn't in the Constitution? Hmmmm, sounds like the Legislative branch is the only one capable of judging the Pledge, our Motto, and other "God references" as they are the only ones who can add to and subtract from the Constitution.

As you are all so fond of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, you find me a seperation of church and state clause. It doesn't exist. I should know, I had to read the whole damn thing.

On a side note, somebody earlier mentioned our national motto, "In God We Trust". That is the original untainted motto from the very beginning, and it comes from the 4th stanza of our National Anthem.

KNOW THE FACTS!!
