USA Today is taking a vote on whether the words "Under God" should be removed from the pledge of allegiance.

Now, I don't know if there are any [i]strong opinions[/i] about God-n-Country here on AR15.com, [:P] but if you have an opinion, you can vote by going to the following website:

Well, it looks over 90% of the 345,000+ votes say NO to removing it. I'd say that's pretty convincing......

( I doubt if you could get 90% agreement if the question was "Is the sky blue?"  I'm glad to see that so many agree on this. )

Gee as a Canadian do I get to vote on this???

Nope, [b]Stormbringer[/b], but only because I know which way you'd vote!

It has nothing to do with you being Canadian![:D]

Well, sometimes the sky is red or orange or black...
[;D]

LOL



Thanks for the honesty ETH.....that is what I ALWAYS expect of you!!


I hope you can count on the same from me..


[devil]

The sky looks green to me, I say get the words the hell out of the pledge and money and everywhere else.

I have serious color blindness, so the sky seems grey to me all the time.

WTF is "blue"?

Av.

Thats refreshing, and great to see, there still hope

That must suck.  How would you know the "black" rifle you are buying actually black and not hot pink?

Yes, I believe I can [u]always[/u] count on your honesty!

We should [u]both[/u] feel honored.

He didn't say he was completely blind! Now if it was dark purple...

I've stayed out of this discussion about the pledge so far,  but I guess I'm probably part of the smallest minority on this issue---I DON'T CARE.

As a believer in the Almighty, I have absolutely no problem with the Pledge having "under God" in it.  On the other hand, as someone old enough to have learned the Pledge years before the words were added, I have no problem if they are not in it.

The Pledge is, after all, a swearing of loyalty to our country.  I don't see it as a religious expression, nor do I feel that I am praying when I do recite it.  If the majority of our citizens want the added phrase in there, however, that's just fine with me.

What does piss me of royally, however, are the motives of the man who brought this suit, and his absolute sliminess, in saying he was trying to "protect" a daughter who we now find out has abolutely no problem with the Pledge as it has been.

Am I the only one here who is OK with the Pledge either way?[:D]

I guess democracy is speaking with knowledge of where our freedom comes from...God.

What the hell is this,are you Donahue or something?

(says to self,commie jack ass)

I DID almost buy a purple Bushmaster and not even notice it. I had a buddy with the second time, and he said "You know that it's purple, right?" Doh!  

Wanted a blue Blazer, and the wrong color came in (gold/pewter color). Didn't notice until I got home and the fiance said "You know that it's grey, right?" Doh again!

Ever try to dress yourself and not be able to tell what color is what? Now THAT is fun!

I often hear "You know that doesn't match, right?"
