When federal judges in San Francisco ruled in 2002 that reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools was unconstitutional because it included the phrase "under God," Sarah Palin was not amused. Palin, who at the time was Mayor of Wasilla, Alaska, quickly drafted a terse letter to the editor of a San Francisco newspaper.
“Dear Editor,” Palin wrote in 2002. “San Francisco judges forbidding our Pledge of Allegiance? They will take the phrase ‘under God’ away from me when my cold, dead lips can no longer utter those words,” Palin wrote.
“God Bless America,” she concluded.

Yes, that's just it. The governor clearly thought that it was all about her, and failed to understand that public schools aren't exactly there for the promotion of her religion.

That's too bad. No wonder we are failing. It's like a free fall.

Good post...I think that covers SaraTodd Palin pretty well on all isues.
So the Japanese say the American Pledge of Allegiance and be sure to add "under God," and that is why they do so well academically?
I believe that is a good example of where the disconnect comes in.
You are an "immigrant" when you desire to come to a country to live, work and embrace the values and core beliefs of that country as your own.
You are an "alien" when you desire to come to a country to live and work, all the while, disregarding the values and core beliefs of that said country as your own.

At least, the economic core beliefs. Not necessarily the religious or the nationalistic.

Off-topic and creepy to boot. Is that the way the Dept of Immigration Services differentiates?
