'Freedom isn't Free'

[bbqcook]

I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!


It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having 'In God! We Trust' on our money and having 'God' in the Pledge of Allegiance.

Well said!

Well said my friend. My youngest said the plegde yesterday for me and I realized at the end, there is no justice for all! I think there is justice for the rich and the rest fall under their rules.. OJ is a perfect example.

Ive succumbed to the idea that I will forever be a wage slave working for the rich.. God Bless America...

I think the other 14%, in their insecurity, are way more vocal.

Hi Guys

Red Skelton said it best in 1969. It's a shame nobody believed him then.

YouTube - Red Skelton's Pledge of Allegiance

Red Skelton's "Pledge of Allegiance" was first introduced on the Red Skelton Show on January 14, 1969. It has since been twice read into the congressional record of The United States and has received numerous awards

Thanks
Leo

Always Amazes Me that Even Those who say They Don't Believe in God will All of a Sudden call out His Name at one of those Tragic moments. I'll Just Leave it At that Other wise I'll get into a Rant About Our Goverment & Politicians and All The Vermin they Cater to and Thats not what TQ is here for. Red Skelton ( The Master Clown ) Said It Better Than Anyone !
Thanks for Posting That Earl and Reminding Us That There Is ALWAYS A PRICE TO PAY !!!

I'm agnostic. I say leave it! I still say it just the same as everybody else. Doesn't bother me one bit. I don't care if my money says "In God We Trust". Doesn't hurt me at all. I mind my own business and I don't judge other people for their beliefs. Expect them to do the same for me. I loved Red Skelton! Thanks and praise to all the soldiers who make it possible for me to type this for the whole world to see without being punished or persecuted!!!

You can be a wage slave to the rich, you can sell your soul and become rich (most of the time that's the case unfortunately) or you can turn Pirate. You know which one I picked. To each their own!

Cheers,

BDA I would love to turn pirate!!

Unfortunatley i picked a career that ties me closely to the main land.. But because of the publics love for foriegn cars and our so so quality over the last 10 years there might not be a auto industry in the US much longer..

Then I will cut my strings to the rockafellers and become the pirate I so have inside of me waiting to get out....arhhhhhhhhh
