Vanity: The Pledge of Allegiance is Unconstitutional - If That Doesn't Convince You What Will?

June 26, 2002 | Jim Robinson

[Jim Robinson]

This is your wake-up call

My friends, I've been taking a lot of flak lately because of my stand on President Bush and the Republicans. Well, my thinking is that the coming elections are so critical that the very continuation of America as we know it may be at stake.

All of our institutions are controlled by liberals. Both houses of Congress are awash in liberals and socialists and moderates and very few conservatives. The Courts are infested with liberal activist judges. Our media and entertainment industries are overrun by liberals. Our universities are overrun by liberals. Our public education systems are overrun by liberals. The liberals control public opinion through their controlled nightly news programs and their daily liberal newspapers. My God, the whole damn country is run by hordes of mushy headed liberals and socialists in biblical proportions! And now they even have the audacity to openly attack patriotism and even God Almighty Himself!

A United States Federal Appeals Court in California has declared the

Pledge of Allegiance to be unconstitutional! And this simply because it contains the phrase, "Under God." I'm speechless! I just sit here and shake my head. Don't even know what to say.

Wake up America! We've been saying that for years. The far right-wingers have been shouting it for decades. Wake up America! Wake up America, the socialists are coming!

And now it's here. The Republic is in grave danger. The liberal activist judiciary has tested the waters. If America does not wake up and not only say no, but hell no to this abomination, then what will the emboldened court take next? Well, I don't know about you, but I'm not gonna sit around on my butt doing nothing while we find out.

Call to action: Get off your Butts! Call or write your reps! Voice your opinion. Demand that they do something about this. Tell them that America will not allow this outrage to stand! Demand of your Senators that they move President Bush's judiciary appointments through the Senate! The Democrat controlled Senate is holding up his appointments, hoping to delay as many as they possibly can until Bush appoints judges more to their liking, or possibly even until they can get Gore or Hillary elected in 2004. God forbid!

And, I'm convinced more than ever, that we must have a complete turnover of the judiciary in the next decade. This is critical. The liberal activist judiciary is getting more and more aggressive. If we do not get some conservative judges in there pretty soon, this game is going to be over.

How do we get conservative judges? Well, I can guarantee you that we will not get them as long as the Senate is controlled by Democrats. We must have a Republican President to appoint conservative judges and we must have a Republican majority so they will be moved through the Senate. This is one of the primary reasons why I want to push so hard to help elect Republicans to the Congress and especially to the Senate. And this is why I want to push so hard to help re-elect President Bush in 2004.

Wake up America! And wake up right-wingers! Vote out the Democrats. Vote in a huge Republican majority so we can retake America from the liberals!

We cannot afford a loss or even a squeaker in the next couple of elections. We must have Reaganesque landslides! Send them to Washington with a mandate from the American people! We want a complete turnover and makeover of the judiciary and all of the government. Give is back our Liberty!

This is not the time for sending a negative message. It does us no good for conservatives to sit on their hands or to vote third party. The only message that sends is to say you don't care if we have wall-to-wall liberals forever. The Democrats will love you. The liberal activist judiciary will love you.

The message you should send is one by pen and ink, or by phone calls and personal meetings. Send a message now to your congressmen and to the Republican Party. Now is the time to send the message. Tell them what we want them to run on and what we want them to do when they get in there. Send them a positive message filled with patriotism and love for God and Country. Tell them that we are fed up with the liberals and we want our country back and we want our rights back. Tell your relatives and your friends and neighbors. Tell them to write and call and visit. And tell them to vote for the Republican in their districts. We must do this if we want it back. We cannot afford to fail.

God bless you all and thank you for bearing with me. I love my country and I love my freedom more than life itself. I don't care what anyone says about me, or what labels they pin on me. From this day forward I am a Bush-bot and proud of it! I am going to help turn this thing around or I'm going down in flames trying.

FReegards,

Jim Robinson

Mr. Robinson, I mean no disrespect whatsoever, but I need to tell you that we DON'T need more Republicans or Democrats in Congress, the Oval Office, or the Judiciary: we need COMMITTED CONSTITUTIONALISTS. We need more people such as the honorable Rep. RON PAUL (R-TX) in these positions if we are going to get our REPUBLIC back.

knock, knock, knock - anybody home? See that giant "R" by his name? That stands for REPUBLICAN.

Must you people always contradict yourselves?

[Phillbert_Desanex]

Does this now make money non legal tender in those 9 western states since it has in God we trust on them?
W.W.

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

Being a "committed constitutionalist" and a Republican are not mutually exclusive.

[Mo1]

There is one tactic that you may have forgotten to mention in your list, & I think it's an important one: IMPEACHMENT. We should call on Congress to IMPEACH these activist udges in the 9th Curcuit Court of Appeals.

We can't get them to even pass Judges now and you think The Midget Dashole is going to push to impeach these Judges??

Get Real ..

I have no problems with Ron Paul .. but the reality is .. say he was President .. he would STILL have the same problems that President Bush has and he would STILL have the same obstacles that Bush has with the Liberals and the Liberal Courts

Ron Paul alone will not save this country

[Ms. AntiFeminazi]

I just wish I were still a kid and lived in one of the states that the absurd decision covers. I would go to class and say it---OUT LOUD---EVERY DAY after that and just dare someone to try to stop me.

LOL, I know you, and I know this is exactly what you would do! bttt

[MrNatural]

Yes! Peggy Noonan said it..History is accelerating, gathering its forces,
hurtling towards an unknown end...

We are now in the time of crisis, when everything happening has great
impact on the future. The election of GWB, 9-11, and whatever comes next; the history of the 21stcentury is being decided now.

Now everything is in flux. Now the lines are being drawn. .

Jim, you are right: Now, we are on one side or the other.

[Texasforever]

Being a "committed constitutionalist" and a Republican are not mutually exclusive.

Ask them to define the term sometime. They can't but 3rd parties have a lock on it.

[mjaneangels@aolcom]

Two years ago, Michael Newdow, a Sacramento doctor who holds a law degree and represented himself, sued because his second-grade daughter was compelled to listen to her classmates recite the pledge at the Elk Grove school district....

I am really glad that my parents did not sue because they were compelled to listen to me and my classmates, my siblings and their classmates at all the various school functions that my folks attended. Afterall, they were compelled to listen too.

Re #39

Good post..I was gonna comment how the minority once again snookered it's way into the "majority" via liberal courts..but you did a much better job.

God, Country, Corps BUMP

[Mo1]

You might want to check this out .. there is work to be done

[summer]

I don't care what anyone says about me, or what labels they pin on me....

bttt.

BTW, in case anyone happened to remember: we are still a nation at war. And, I for one intend to keep praying that God is on our side in this conflict.

Also, earlier this year, FL Gov Jeb Bush signed a new law requiring the Pledge of Allegiance to be said daily in the public schools.


Gov Jeb Bush is way ahead on these issues....

In addition, Gov. Jeb Bush recently signed another new law, requiring public school students to recite the Declaration of Independence. Such new law is explained HERE.

[rwfromkansas]

And a voluntary pledge is forcing beliefs on someone how, exactly?

[libertyman]

I'm sorry, Jerr, but you are not going nearly far enough--you are placing a bandaid on top of a massive wound. It is time to seperate SCHOOL from State. ELIMINATE the Department of Education, pull your kids out of government schools, support HOMESCHOOLING.

You ask why parents should have to pull their kids out of public schools: that's simple, in my opinion--they are YOUR kids, not The States! You brought them into this world, & a responsible parent should love, discipline, feed, educate, & train them into adulthood. Americans have been too willing to give these responsibilities to The State, & this leads to more State control over our lives, a $6 TRILLION national debt, & the break up of the family, to name a few. Karl Marx would love it.

[Texasforever]

HOMESCHOOLING.

. That is great until the next ruling is that home schooling is unconstitutional. Then what?

[Sandy]

The 9th circuit handed the Republicans a gift in its decision.

You'd have a valid point if the decision had been made solely by Democrat-appointed judges. But it wasn't. It was one Dem-appointed and one Rep-appointed. Heck, a Republican-appointed judge wrote the darned thing. Twisting this into a pro-Republican election issue is pure demagoguery.

[BillyBoy]

>> See that giant "R" by his name? That stands for REPUBLICAN. Must you people always contradict yourselves? <<

The Libertarians insist Ron Paul is "one of us" even though their OWN party is actively running a candidate (John Hamilton) AGAINST him in the general election. The truth is that Ron Paul was a Republican long before he temporarily joined the LP; plus most of the Libertarians yapping about how we should have "535 Ron Pauls" in Congress are straight-party voters who would probably vote for Hamilton if they lived in Ron's district.

[libertyman]

So I reckon I should throw my full support on idiots such as Sen. John McCain, Lincoln Chaffee, & Rep. Jim Kolbe? Gag me with a spoon!!!!!!

[LarryLied]

Two more reasons for every conservative to vote. If Democrats take the House, Henry Waxman will chair the Committee on Government Reform. The Committee "serves as the House’s chief investigative and oversight body, reviewing allegations of waste, fraud and abuse and mismanagement across the Federal government. The Committee’s unique oversight jurisdiction makes it one of the most influential committees in the House of Representatives."

Reason #2: Charles Rangel would chair Ways and Means which is in charge of the following:

Federal revenue measures generally.--The Committee on Ways and Means has the responsibility for raising the revenue required to finance the Federal Government. This includes individual and corporate income taxes, excise taxes, estate taxes, gift taxes, and other miscellaneous taxes.

The bonded debt of the United States.--The Committee on Ways and Means has jurisdiction over the authority of the Federal Government to borrow money.

National Social Security programs.--The Committee on Ways and Means has jurisdiction over most of the programs authorized by the Social Security Act, which includes not only those programs that are normally referred to colloquially as "Social Security" but also social insurance programs and a whole series of grant-in-aid programs to State governments for a variety of purposes.

Old-age, survivors, and disability insurance (title II)

Medicare (title XVIII)

If Democrats get this power back, they will never give it up. Forget the next election. The game will be so rigged, Republicans or anyone else won't stand a chance.

For everyone who does not have a valid voter registeration card.
Don't leave home for the voter booth without it.

Federal government information for military absentee voting
and for anyone who has moved and not yet registered again to vote.

The 2002-03 Voting Assistance Guide is the primary source of information
for citizens to understand the procedures for registering and voting
in their state or territory of legal voting residence.

Do you live in their districts?
