Can I hit Bush with a stick? Please?

George Washington himself said in a letter to a North African counrty that the United States was not a Christian nation. I said a few days ago that I didn't think the whole Pledge of Allegiance issue should be brought up at a time when the U.S. was in such a need for stability, but now that we've started playing with fire, the only thing to do is to try to control the flames before too many people get burned. Seeing as the 9th District Court has already passed the ruling against "under God", I think we should let it lie. As far as my knowledge of the Constitution goes, the Supreme Court can't touch it, thanks to good old Freedom of Religion. If they tried to intervene, I believe it would only make the situation worse. Yes, it's against "tradition", but is the loss of a single tradition worth the revocation of Constitutional freedoms? And now good ol' Georgey Dubbya steps in and tries to force his personal beliefs on an entire country. At times like this, I like to sit back and wonder how dear liberal Mr. Gore would have dealt with it. The next time Bush spouts scripture from the Declaration of Independence, he would do well to remember that the word "God" was deliberately left out of the Constitution. Declaring freedom from Britain and actually establishing the guidelines for a new nation are quite different things.
