just a circular we did this so now you can strike it down as unconsititutional. But we did it anyway to make the minority party look like athiests. So THERE.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The House, in an emotionally and politically charged debate six weeks before the election, voted Thursday to protect the words "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance from further court challenges.

The legislation, promoted by GOP conservatives, would prevent federal courts, including the Supreme Court, from hearing cases challenging the words "under God," a part of the pledge for the past 50 years.

Democrats said majority Republicans were debasing the Constitution to force a vote that could hurt Democrats at the ballot box.

I can't believe that anyone in Congress would stoop so low as to do such a dastardly thing.

Now all GOP needs is a law making it a crime to recite the Pledge without including the "under God" abomination.

A little history on the old "Pledge of Allegiance."


" The Pledge of Allegiance was written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy. The Pledge of Allegiance was written by Bellamy for a national Columbus Day celebration ceremony, the program of which was published in The Youth's Companion magazine; it reflected his idea of a united America after the Civil War. At the time the country was still very much divided because of the conflict between North and South. The Pledge reinforced the idea of ONE NATION, something important to many after the Civil War and the attempts of the South to secede.
Francis Bellamy was vice president of the Society of Christian Socialists. This was an organization that promoted the view that society should be organized on the teachings of Jesus Christ and was critical of capitalism and individualism as corrupting forces in society. Francis Bellamy was actually the cousin of another influential Christian Socialist activist of the time, Edward Bellamy. Both Francis and Edward were involved in the Nationalist movement as well. Some 167 Nationalist Clubs sprang up around the United States after Edward Bellamy published his best selling book, Looking Backward."

What was it that RED MENACE was saying about the ultimate show down between the theologans and the capitalists?

And why are the Republicans in bed with so many latent socialists, trotskyites lately?
