"Under God" Still Unconstitutional...Regardless of the Personal Opinions of WWII Vets
Old Coot re: Pledge and Foxes...or Something
My point? The 'Pledge of Allegiance' should remain as such. (As a pledge of allegiance? Fine, then there's no need for a reference to this nation being "under God" -- Apostate) Today, if a student doesn't want to read the pledge, he or she can leave the room and return when it's completed. And for those who are questioning the wording of the pledge and its constitutionality, I'd like to remind them of that World War II adage:And Australia's all, "WTF, mate?". How does an old war adage from 60 years ago lend any constitutional weight to "under God" being in the pledge? Perhaps someone should remind this old man that the phrase "under God" wasn't even in the pledge during WWII and that even if it was, the "no atheists in fox holes" bullshit would still have no bearing on the constitutionality of the phrase. And while they're at it, they might remind him that this is 2004, not 1934. Going back to "the good ol' days" where women and children and minorities were beaten into submission (either psychologically or physically) will not make "under God" constitutional.
"There are no atheists in fox holes."
