As the song says: “God blessed Texas”.
Wow. Being about the only native Texan in the city I live in, Frisco, the transplants from Cali and Jersey will find this disturbing. They already comment on the fact that we say it at all every morning after the Pledge of Allegiance. This will be an added bonus for me. I think its fantastic.
My eldest son was substituting in the high school French class and they said the pledge in French......he made them say it over again in English....
one does not argue with a recently commissioned Marine
That song is about women in swimsuits. Just watch the video ;)
Hey Friscan....I’m a former NYer...a lot of conservatives are ex-liberals.... hopefully the exposure to some semblance of conservatism may change some liberal minds.
Then again..some are branded with the disease. Conservative Texans must be vigilant against the influx of new liberals coming in. Agggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Trust me...it HURT BAD for the Houston Chronicle to publish this story.
The Chron is the most liberal, anti-God, bird cage lining paper in the state of Texas.
You are so right. The political landscape could most definetly change if we are not vigilant.
Impressive!
“one nation under God” was not added to the national pledge until the 50s.
I’m not opposed to it being there, just pointing out some historical accurracy.
Barry Lynn would prefer this to be our national anthem:
Godless Philosophy
To the tune of “God Bless America”
Godless philosophy, pointless for me,
None to cause us, but Cosmos–
All that is, was, and ever shall be.
From the big bang, to the slime soup,
To the heat death, dark and old:
Godless philosophy, it leaves me cold;
Godless philosophy, it leaves me cold.
Keep this in mind.
The bible is full of stories of the israelites screwing up, then repenting of their behavior as things fall apart around them because God withdraws his protection and blessings.
Putting God back into daily life and the fabric of our society will fix things faster than any other thing we can possibly do.
This is fantastic news and will be the first of many victories for the good guys....
Patience, faith and keep up the fight.
While I don’t care that y’all put God in your Pledge, I DO care that, as reported, students are required “by law” to say it....unless they get a note from home.
Something about “Congress shall make no law....” comes to mind.
(asbestos suit on)
I’m not ashamed to own my Lord,
Or to defend His cause;
Maintain the honor of His Word,
The glory of His cross.
Jesus, my God! I know His Name,
His Name is all my trust;
Nor will He put my soul to shame,
Nor let my hope be lost.
Firm as His throne His promise stands,
And He can well secure
What I’ve committed to His hands
Till the decisive hour.
Then will He own my worthless name
Before His Father’s face,
And in the new Jerusalem
Appoint my soul a place.
“Something about “Congress shall make no law....” comes to mind.”
Read the article, Congress was not involved in any way.
Check context. This is about Texas, not the Federal Congress.
“Trust me...it HURT BAD for the Houston Chronicle to publish this story.
The Chron is the most liberal, anti-God, bird cage lining paper in the state of Texas.”
LOL. And ain’t that the truth!
States cannot choose to abrogate rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Or are you saying that Texas is immune from the Bill of Rights?
As I said, God blessed Texas.
