I'm so disgusted by this. What's next? Does he try to get "In God We Trust" taken off our currency? If he's so morally opposed to the government forcing religion on us, I think he should stop using money. Wouldn't want him to go against his principles, ya know? And when there's a terrorist attack in California I have to wonder if the phrase "Oh my God" will cross his lips.
The phrase "under God" in the pledge is not condoning religion. As Ghandi said, God has no religion. "Under God," to me, means whatever God you believe in and, I'm sure the number of believers is astronomically higher than the number of non-believers in this country. I suppose the fact that this guy could get away with this kind of nonsense is a testament to how great the U.S. really is. But I think this has gone way overboard.
I'll probably write more about this later, when I've had time to think about it a little more, and when I'm a little less angry. But, for now, I'll find comfort in knowing that the 9th Circuit is the most liberal and the most overturned appeals court in the country.
