    "God keep our land glorious and free"

    You could also sing it as "We keep our land glorious and free" since it's the WE who do it not some fictitious entity created by depressed individuals to hope that a fictitious afterlife will be better than this one.

    With the pledge - it is interesting that their big founding fathers were not religious and were highly educated intelligent people. Something happened along the way for the worse...much worse and religious (Christian) groups have tried to rewrite history. Fox News is a giant propaganda machine (err it lies constantly) and this is likely where 99% of Republicans get all their "facts" from since it's certainly not from thinking or reading books from real academics.

    The right wing in the United States is trying to take ownership of a lot of things. Have for years. Although it's all the wrong things. The Republican party in the United States has moved the country closer to a Nazi regime perhaps more that they even realize - the education system is so poor in most of the States that while many scoff at a comparison between Dictatorship and Nazism, scoffing at it doesn't change the very real things that are actually happening. The country is slowly becoming a police state with hired mercenary moving into various states (similar to a private guard like the SS) and while some people are fighting it - it is moving in.

    A nice little documentary (which will be ignored as Left wing propaganda but nevertheless it is happening). Takes about 5 minutes to get going http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RcbpYR5Joc

    Lightbulb Could "Terrorism" be just the start

    As excuses to further limit the freedoms of citizens and move away from what was originally founded. Just food for thought. If we became something other than what we originally intended in 1776 and the change was so gradual would we even realize we strayed to a path of evil. Would we even understand what the foundation even was? How much horror is paved with good intentions?

    I choose to have faith in people because having faith in God can be testament to having faith in almost nothing. Worry about God when you are ready for the gates of heaven or hell. If we don't believe in each other we are doomed to repeat the mistakes of the past.
    I prefer my sex like my basketball, one on one, and with as little dribbling as possible.
