In God We Trust

Frankly I'm not the most religious person in the world, but I do not believe this hurts anything. Much like the Pledge of Allegiance being stripped from schools, it's just another way to strip any national pride or patriotism in my mind.

Fucking liberals.

Surreal Thursday continues...

Do you always get bent on stupid polls?

You don’t give a fuck but you really give a fuck?

Are you really that threatened by “liberals”?

[Keller]

You want people to be patriotic? Actually teach civics, which isn't a part of most schools' mandatory classes. Teach kids about their role as citizens in a democracy, how it relates to American history--and people will more proud of who they are.

Agreed.

...all others I pay cash.

I think he's more annoyed by their extreme gayness and vaginaism than threatened.

But did you, as a child, "feel anything" went you were forced by your school to drone the Pledge of Allegiance?

Actually the schools couldn't force you to recite the Pledge, which I remember finding out in 3rd 4th grade or so.

We did it anyway, because we actually like our country.

At any rate, "In God We Trust" should absolutely be removed from government documents.

I can agree with both of those statements.

Just be glad you didn't go to a Catholic school where you had to recite the Pledge, Our Father, and Hail Mary every day. At the beginning and end of the day. And forced to go to church EVERY day. Oh, and the four hours of religion class ROCKED.

Honestly though, I think the Pledge is something everyone should know. Everyone also has the right to not recite it. It's really an argument no one can win. I think about it as a actions vs. words scenario. Just speaking some speech will never match acting as a good human being.

Part of the point.

Anyway, the Fed is a privately owned entity and will print whatever they God damn want on their money. No point in getting upset at some other entity over it.

What? This deserves to be a Wordle.

Some of us did.

Of course, I was hell bent on getting out of there, so I graduated at 16 to save myself two more years of torture.
