dgmodel Posted July 8 Report Share Posted July 8 PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE DECLARED UNCONSTITUTIONALYesterday, the Ninth U.S. Circuit of Appeals, in a 2-1 ruling, declaredthe pledge unconstitutional because of its use of the words "under God,"which, because they introduce the concept of a state-sponsored supremebeing into a publicly-funded institution, thus being a violation ofchurch-state separation. It is an important victory for atheists, who needall the wins they can get in this life since it is straight to hell forthem in death.Conservatives were torn between outrage at the decision, and elation athaving something so "totally sweet" to be outraged about.The case was brought by Michael A. Newdow, a Sacramento atheist whoobjected because his second-grade daughter was required to recite thepledge at school. As for his daughter, she doesn't really know what"allegiance" means, and more importantly, wants to know what exactly isthe "frog of the united cakes of hysteria"?Newdow's case may be most significant in that it teaches all youngAmericans an important lesson, that although our nation was built onprinciples of civic pride, patriotism and tradition, and although thesetwo little words have stood for half a century and weathered numerouschallenges from concerned members of the fringe, all it takes is onedetermined idiot to change history.
