Not display the US flag in schools, on fire trucks, libraries,etc.?!?!?!? What kind of bullshit is this!?!?!?
This is *our* country, *our* home!!!!!! Does this mean that in my house I should take down pictures which may depict a scene which might in some manner offend my visitors? I should hide away books or magazines which may in some way be contrary to their personal beliefs? I think *NOT*.
I am not Christian, but I have *absolutely* **no** problem with the "in God we trust" phrase or the religious misc. (holiday figures, pics, whatever). I was a proud member of the United States Navy and took an oath to protect this country and her people--under God. This is what makes us so 'great'--the fact that we are so many different peoples come together into a huge mixing bowl, resulting in the most sublimely wonderful blend!
There is a point beyond which these officials must stop worrying about whose ass they're going to kiss next and go about doing their jobs!
I'm going off this thread now before I implode with impotent fury!!!!!!
