Think that the bogus "separation of Church and state" phrase was coined by the ACLU, or some other America hating group.

TO

It originally came from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to a Baptist group. Some individuals took this letter (obviously not part of the US Constitution) and transposed his phrase regarding a "wall of separation" onto the 1st Ammendment.

Mind you - it was a letter!!! I don't care if it was Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, or John Adams. It is NOT part of the US Constitution.

Its one thing to have freethought - its another thing to purposely rebel against a perceived system that enables you to have freedom of speech and expression - but the minute someone rebuts their beliefs they are labeled as "fascists" or "neocons." But don't worry, today's Emo Liberal pussies are tomorrow's liberal voting tax-paying yuppies.....

That is a nausating thought. Thank you FBJ and I was just about to have breakfast. But don't worry we have at the moment something of a crisis here FBJ. And the more I think of it the more madder I get. Over the last few months a report from Aboriginal Communities has come to light. And successive Australia Federal and State Governments have ignored this problem. But it has taken the current Australian Federal Government under Prime Minister John Howard to actually acknowledge there are huge social problems in Aboriginal Outback Communities. The problems range from Child physical and sexual abuse. Aboriginal Women being physicaly abuse and raped and these outrages are being caused by the Aboriginal Men themselves in the communities. Alcoholism and substance abuse of petrol. John Howard on receiving the reports about the Aboriginal Communities facing these problems decided to send in extra police from all mainland Australian States to these communities to try and arrest the systamatic problems. He has tried to address the dire reports and at current he faces charges of Racism from the Left wing of politics here in Australia. He has even charge each Australian State to help with these problems and has faced similar opposition. John Howard always faces up to the hard decissions as a Prime Minister but you try and get through to these left winged idiots who just want to ignore the problems and hope they go away and mumble a few half felt SORRIES to the Aborigines of Australia. If we as a Nation allow the problems to keep re-occuring in Outback Aboriginal Communities and put at risk women and children. We had better keep saying SORRY to them because our left winged idiots don't have the balls to stand up and fight for justice for women and children regardless of skin colour

Emac, we've had similar problems with a substantial percentage of native peoples here as well over the years, with the widespread substance abuse. They receive untold dollars in tax free allowances, and rather than do something constructive with it, they piss it down the drain. Then the rest of us end up paying for it anyway, with our tax dollars. Joy.

Not that most here would probably give a sh*t, but there's been serious opposition from some in Canada over the last few years, over the line "God keep our land" in the English version of our national anthem. They feel it doesn't reflect the beliefs of everyone across the country. The day is coming, I just know it.

Leftist societies suck, and I mean big time!


F*ck off!!!

I take it and believe this is the same High School that last year the Principal of the School held a debate on sexual freedom and usage of drugs. He incouraged students to indulge in usage of illicit drugs and participate in sexual gratification. One wonders how he manage to keep his life let alone his position at the High School in Colorado. If that fruit loop Principal had told my son that you can imagine my pressence at the school would be there. I have been watching Bill O'Reilly on Fox News and he covered this same debate on numerous occassions that I have seen. One thing I do like about Bill O'Reilly is his common sense approach on news and issues. When he raises his eyebrows just below his deminishing hairline you know what he is going to opine. And Harris Faulkner is such a distraction to news reading

Like I said, I live 40 minutes away from Boulder, but it's not where I live at least.

I'm glad I don't go to Boulder high. But I do know some of the kids there, because the closest fencing club around is in Boulder, and I fence them, but aren't friends with them.

But it is pretty bizzare why they want to walk out on it because of "God", when basically most nations in the world have a God, and won't take the oath of the one they live in.

Still, when I went to see Bush when he came last year to Colorado to campaign, I was thinking he deliberatly wouldn't want to pick a place like Boulder. But he did really well in Greeley.

And Flyboy, if you get a B-36, better hide it someplace high in the mountains before you use it, or they might use it to bomb Bush.

the protest does not bother me. as soon as the pledge is over, give a timed test. the protesting group will not be able to get back to class to have the full allotted time.
'gosh, sorry you guys didn't get the full five minutes to do the essay. hope it doesn't hurt your grade!'

pledge allegiance to diversity? did i read that right?
