hmmm...
There is no reason to omit "under God" from our pledge. Our contry was founded as such, plain and simple. That's why it was added. Many people don't like the fact but that's how it is.
Someone stated that the phrase should be removed, and those who believe can add "under God" as they please.
How about leaving it, and those who DON'T want to say it, don't say it? It was stated that leaving the phrase in might "offend" an athiest/non-believer. Ever think that leaving it out might offend those who BELIEVE in God? Of course not, the rights of those who believe in God NEVER matter to the lefties. But then again, all the lefties care about is themselves, their political agenda, getting votes, and shooting down anyone who might "disagree" with them. How anyone could be possibly offended by two words in a pledge is beyond me. No one's praying, no one is asked to bow their heads and close their eyes. The Bible isn't being quoted. This isn't an "establishment of religion", it's a part of our country's history.
This is a free country. As much as you might not like it, people can(but are not always allowed) to say what they want. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT NOT TO BE OFFENDED.
It is said that government-paid for public schools should not allow any kind of mention of God, as to violate seperation of church and state. Should we disallow money to be brought into schools, as it has "In God We Trust" stamped on it? Mabye the phrase should be ground off every coin and deleted from every bill. The government makes currency, sooner or later some leftist whacko will be demanding just that be done.
Why is evolution taught, yet Creation is eliminated? Oh wait, that would involve God in a school, and would actually make some sense, horrendous as it may sound.
The rights of "non-believers" are always enforced, while the rights of those that believe in God are not to be allowed. So much for equal rights. The constant and gradual elimination of God in everything in this country will be its eventual downfall.
