Freep a Poll: What do you think of NBC's decision to cut the words 'under God' from the Pledge?
New York Daily News ^ | June 20, 2011 | New York Daily News

What do you think of NBC's decision to cut the words 'under God' from the Pledge of Allegiance during a patriotic video aired for the network's US Open coverage? It's offensive! It's not patriotic if the network is rewriting the Pledge! It was the right thing to do, since there should be true seperation (sic) of church and state! It's not a big deal either way

I don’t do recreational drugs like 73% of New Yawkers so can someone explain how this was “true separation of church and state”. Is the government subsidizing the stupid golf tournament or the morons at NBC?

Our country is going to hell really fast. Needs FReeping really bad.

It’s offensive! It’s not patriotic if the network is rewriting the Pledge!
8%

It was the right thing to do, since there should be true seperation of church and state! And I’m so [unladylike word] stupid that I can’t even spell separation.
74%

I’m completely clueless that we’re losing our country to a bunch of godless marxist pigs.
19%

“Something is seriously off about this poll”.

I agree. I remember a poll (I think yesterday) about issuing an apology and the majority said NBC should (I want to say like 80% if memory serves me). The numbers on this poll seem off. If the poll is a true and accurate statement about society, I am very troubled by it.

I think most of the country is OK. The urban centers, probably not so much.

Your commentary always cracks me up.

Really! ;-) Thanks.

Ditto that!!! If this poll is even close to accurate we are in serious trouble.

I’m flabbergasted at the response on that poll... Despite people’s feelings regarding the “under God” part, a TV station should not take it upon themselves to change the pledge. Absolutely wrong for them to make a political/social statement like that during an INTERNATIONALLY televised event, or during ANY event for that matter!

The leftist atheists must have anti-FReeped it.

Just voted. Can’t believe that 74% said it was the right thing to do to have separation of church and state. I wouldn’t be surprised if this poll has been fixed.

The 74% have separation of mind and reason. Possibly caused by too many hallucinogens in the 60s.

Better yet, get rid of TV.

I haven’t done it completely myself :)
