This is American tradition. If you don't like it then don't read it, thats how I feel.

Newdow filed in the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals which recently ruled that judges, not parents, have the final say in what will be taught school children concerning sex education. These same liberal judges supported Newdow and ruled that the phrase "under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance was unconstitutional. That suit was dismissed due to a technicality so Newdow sued again.
What are some of your thoughts on this issue?

Our currency is getting more worthless everyday and all this shlub has to worry about is the motto that's printed on it.

Hint: The words "under God" are not traditional (about 50-60 years old) and the Pledge of Allegiance was composed by a socialist, FACT.

If he's so offended, maybe he should just use credit cards or checks so he doesn't have his feelings hurt since they don't have anything on them.

You are correct on the Pledge, but I'm not sure about the money.

Anyway, what religion is God?

This is how Newdow is getting his 15 minutes of fame. I wonder what made him decide to initiate his lawsuit at this particular point in time.
