Pledge of Allegiance ruled unconstitutional

[Gemini Cricket]

What offends me the most about this is that the media is putting this out there to get people all worked up and angry and argumentative about a non-issue. It's silly, not newsworthy and certainly not worth the thousands of dollars going to be thrown at this pro and con...

Here's what I think:

PRO: Church and state should be separate. The 'under God' phrase was put in there during the McCarthy witch hunts by Congress after the Catholic men's only groups, the Knights of Columbus, pushed for it. The original version should come back w/o the 'UG'.

CON: Newdow's weird. He creeps me out. And, I mean, when was the last time you said the pledge? Who cares?! Leave it, I care not.

But religious groups are going to victimize themselves and say their freedom is being taken away. Okay, but what if the pledge said, 'under Allah'? Wouldn't that piss off the Christians, too? What if it were the Koran being placed in courthouses around the country? Hmmm?

All in all, I can see both sides of the argument, but I really couldn't give a rat's patootie about any of it...
