In addition claiming the US was founded on judeo-christian values is political correctness gone mad. No Jew had any input whatsoever in the creation of any of the western democracies. To claim our values are based on Jew values is wrong and an outright lie.
What do you mean, "our" values? You keep forgetting that you're supposed to be Canadian. Stop slipping up or people will begin to catch on.
The Establishment clause prohibits a State church. This does not mean that individuals and groups cannot proclaim their faith in public or have symbols of their faith in public places. In America we have freedom OF religion not freedom FROM religion. Liberal socialists would have you believe the latter. They are dead wrong.
OK then just remove the word 'flag' from the pledge if it bothers you so much. "I pledge allegiance to the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." There..problem solved.
That would be Judeo-Christian morals and values. I never claimed that the US Constitution or Declaration of Independence was written by a Jew. Apparently you have a gross lack of knowledge when it comes to history.
" We hold these truths to be self evident...that all men are created equal.." as long as the men are W.A.S.P.
This is juvenile nit picking.. There 's nothing wrong with the Pledge anymore than there 's anything wrong with the Boy Scout pledge. Children grow up soon enough and have their own ideas about government and politics..
I find your post to be highly offensive. I am not now, nor have I ever been, a racist. My comment is not racially motivated but is intended to describe the majority population demographic of North America - WASP is an acronym for White Anglo Saxon Protestant. Next you'll be accusing me of religious bigotry. I demand that you withdraw your inflamatory and offensive accuasation otherwise I will be compelled to not respond to your queries in the future.

You wrote: " We hold these truths to be self evident...that all men are created equal.." as long as the men are W.A.S.P. What is this supposed to mean? Frankly I find it highly offensive and racist and said so. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt when I castigated you to stop being racist. I figured you just didn't know better. Tell me, do you use the 'N' word to describe folks with yet a different skin color? I bet you don't and won't....You should give it some thought before spouting off next time.
Oh dear, you claim to have three advanced degrees and you can't figure that out? You should get a refund.
I must confess that I do know what the N refers to I was simply checking to see if anyone had the intestinal fortitude to actually say it - I was right none of you does.
Since I am a nationalist with a world-view, then Pledging is not nonsense to me, which is all that really counts.
This nation was founded on principles of greed, and the rights of the privileged as any reading of the Constitution will show you. It started because of taxation of the rich and finished with laws allowing the rich and wealth land-owners to run the nation. Things have improved over the years, but to venerate the founding fathers for their greed and self-interest is a bit foolish.
Actually they had to be men, christian, and own land. Free blacks owned both land and slaves. Women were not allowed to participate in the govt, nor were the poor allowed to vote. This nation was founded as a state run for and by the wealthy.
Our laws are based mostly on British Common Law, which can be traced through roman law, back to the code of Hammurabi which predates Christianity by 1700 years. Also it predates most of what you call the Judeo ethic, Since it predates most of the history of the Jewish people. So--your whole entire premise is WRONG.
I see you are the type that just waits for their turn to talk and doesn't bother paying even the slightest bit of attention to what other people are saying. Your response has absolutely nothing to do with the words contained in my post and I feel that you have wasted precious seconds of my life that I'll never be able to get back. Now, by all means, continue your rant, but please direct it towards someone who gives a d4mn about what you have to say. I ain't the one.
