The Pledge of Allegiance Is For Nazis...
... at least that's how San Francisco U.S. District Judge Lawrence Karlton seems to feel about it.
If he and his fellow extreme leftists have their way, your children won't be reciting the Pledge of Allegiance at school. Please click here to read the article for yourself.
What an ugly, steaming, disgusting pile of rubbish this is!!!
First of all, I do not see the harm in your local public school having a morning Pledge of Allegiance.
Last I remember, there was no federal, state, or local law that required any person to recite the Pledge at school or any other event (club meetings, ballgames, etc.). For example, I have known some people who, when the Pledge is given, simply stand silently due to their religious and/or personal beliefs on the subject. They do not chastise me for reciting the pledge, and I appreciate them respecting my rights as much as I respect theirs. Thank God I still live in a nation where we all have the right to exercise our beliefs so long as respect others' rights in the process.
Based on my reading of the Constitution, I strongly believe that Judge Karlton's ruling is unconstitutional as per the Ninth Amendment, which is as follows:
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
I, as an American, retain my right to say the Pledge, and this means that no governmental branch (executive, legislative, and especially judicial) has absolutely no right to take this away from me or any of my fellow Americans!!!
I also believe that his ruling is unconstitutional as per the First Amendement:
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Again, as stated earlier, we already have the right to recite (or not recite) the Pledge as per the First Amendment's guarantee of free speech. Furthermore, the religious freedom portion refers to our nation not having an official church or other government-sanctioned religious body (i.e. the Church of England, where the monarch is its official head). While the pledge has "under God" within it, this does not, in and of itself, endorse or advocate any particular religion or denomination thereof. Therefore, the Pledge is constitutional!!!
BTW, here's a copy of the United States Constitution. Please click here and study it!!!
Abraham Lincoln ended his famous "Gettysburg Address" as follows:
"...government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
We, the American people, hold the ultimate destiny of our nation in our hands. If we choose to take no action, then those who have given their lives will have died in vain, our nation will perish, and we will have no one to blame but ourselves.
That's all for now, folks. Thanks for visiting and please come back again.
