Another (perhaps voluntary) Ignorant Reich Winger

Leave 'under God' in...because we're the majority

This isn't really about the rights of Americans to believe or not to believe in God. It's about one man's vengeance in trying to stick it to his Christian ex-wife, who also happens to have custody of the child in question, and the legal right to make the final decisions about her religious training.

Forgive me a moment of snide commentary, but it just seems to easy, that this woman would see the rights of all citizens boiled down to a simple matter of "men are scum". Peddle your hang-ups elsewhere, honey.

The argument is being made once again that the Constitution prohibits the mention of God in any public venue.

Bzzdt. Wrong. Thank you for playing. That isn't the argument at all. Am I surprised that a Reich Wing shill doesn't understand? Not at all.

Our founding fathers were Christians...

Wrong again. Some were Christians. Most were Deists; an altogether different kind of animal from Christians. And some of those who were Deists were quite hostile toward the Christian myth.

Couldn't a case be made that Newdow is attempting to prohibit the other 30 children in his daughter's class from their inalienable right to recite the pledge, or to practice their own religions?

No, that case can not, in fact, be made. For one, there is no such thing as an inalienable right to recite the pledge. And second, Newdow is in now way infringing on the rights of children to practice their religion. He's not stopping them from believing, from praying, or from going to church. He's just following the intent of the Constitution and trying to ensure that the public classroom is an environment free from religious coercion.

I have a suggestion for Mr. Newdow. Perhaps if he is so intent on raising a healthy, whole child, he should focus on banning certain other words from her vocabulary and understanding. Words like "hate," "vindictiveness," "custody issues," and the ever-popular "divorce."

Yeah, because Christians have done such a good job of that. Because the phrase "under God" has gone so far to quell hate and vindictiveness and unite families. Gimme a friggin' break.
