Oh Am I Pissed...

...from a Yahoo News Headline, "Judge: School Pledge Is Unconstitutional."

Please give me a break. You can't take away the pledge of allegiance from our schools. It's been part of our society for countless generation. Asides from that, the pledge is a constant reminder of the society that we live in. Slightly nationalistic, slightly religious, with a dash of history. Of course the people behind this attack on our pledge are atheists.

I can't really believe in people that believe in nothing. Come on. This government, society, and general history starting from Plymouth Rock is all about believing. I'm not a Christian, but I believe in our country, our flag, our history, our people, and our heritage. Our fore fathers brought forth to this continent a new nation conceived of liberty and justice for all. They also brought forth a regimen of discipline, honor, and dignity that saw many of our descendents and our very own fore fathers defend on this continent and overseas.

There was no litigation back in the 1700's. There was either you looking at Aaron Burr from your slights or Thanksgiving fest with you family, friends, and loved ones. You have a new variation today, in terms of "busting a cap on your ass" and Swanson dinners in front of the HDTV, but the fundamental foundation of unity and peace has changed. I don't know why we've become so litigious. Is it because of greed? Can Hugh Hefner just have one girlfriend? Is it because of opportunities from technology? Why do you email and text message people when it's easier to talking to them face-to-face? Is it because of I can't really explain these questions? I don't think why we choose to litigate.

All I know is that the proud men that served and currently serving our country, the proud-ness we have for our country and heritage will be tarnished if we aren't allow to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in our school. Children today are going up faster, mature faster, and bigger. If we don't teach them to honor our country, flag, and our heritage then how will they learn? How we they learn about the true meaning of sacrifice and honor? Why are we teaching our children and the general public to be more religiously disaffiliated instead of teaching them to stop eating Big-Macs and drinking a liter of coke and coffee a day?

Is it because God may not save you? Well, a trip these days to the local drive-thru of McDonalds with your child in a Mercedes SUV may not save you a lot too. I need to be saved. We all need to be saved. Regardless if your religious or not. Ever read Machiavelli? People are believers from every continent. Not just ours. It has been for thousands of years. So why would you like a couple of bone-headed parents that may or may not be well equip to teach their children the true intricacies of life decide on our country's daily ritual of heritage.
I'm all out of gas due to frustration. These parents kids will be future smokers, tree-huggers, drug-addicts, bane-of-live, bane-of-human-existence, and Enders of all things good. I know I'm taking a libertarian approach to this, but it's true. There are a shit-load of people in country that are pride like me that would like to keep the pledge, just like those people that take their cap off when singing the National Anthem.
