Takeover of America's Judicial System
September 24, 2005

I see the Pledge of Allegiance, our wonderful ode to our country and to God, is under fire...again! Michael Newdow, an atheist living in California has sought time and again to remove "Under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance. Since 1954, Americans have recited the Pledge with the words "Under God".

Newdow has brought this issue to the U.S. Supreme Court and lost his battle, but continues to force his views. He feels that it "forces God on atheists". Atheists are forced to say the pledge? Let me remind Mr. Newdow that he has the freedom to opt out of any observance mentioning the Almighty. No one is forcing him (or any atheist) to participate. But we have the freedom and right in our country to acknowledge God's presence and influence in our lives. And most Americans do not have a problem doing so.

The rest
