House Protects Pledge of Allegiance
Finally the House gets around to protecting the Pledge of Allegiance from activist judges who seem to have forgotten this nation’s history. The bill passed 260-167, but insiders say passage in the Senate is uncertain.
The House, citing the nation’s religious origins, voted Wednesday to protect the Pledge of Allegiance from federal judges who might try to stop anyone from reciting it because of the phrase “under God.” (emphasis by TRS)
There are some of the more liberal members of Congress who do not like the idea of skirting off an area from the ever watchful eyes of the courts citing separation of powers. Unfortunately for them, I believe Congress has the right and the ability to shield certain laws from the courts. They have done so in the past and will continue to shield certain laws. Lawmakers from both sides have been all over this hot-button issue.
The quote of the day from the liberal of liberals, Democrat Senator Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi, who states in all seriousness:
“We are making an all-out assault on the Constitution of the United States, which, thank God, will fail,” said Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif. (emphasis added by TRS)
This extreme liberal of liberals, invokes the name of God while supporting taking God out of our Pledge. Sometimes I wonder what planet Pelosi is really from.
Fox News has a short history of the Pledge of Allegiance from conception to its final change in 1954. All of which shows the Pledge is an intricate part of American society. From the time kids first start school, they learn the words which instills a sense of patriotism. It also gives credit where credit is due. This country has become a force for good in the world only because of our Lord.
As John Winthrop said in 1630 in his “City Upon a Hill” speech, (I will paraphrase because of the words and length) that if this new country keeps God at its center, then He will bless us and allow us to resist a thousand of our enemies. We would become like a City Upon a Hill for all the world to see. But if we deal falsely with our God, then He will withdraw His blessings and make this new country a story and a by-word throughout the world as an example to those who turn from God.
The history of the United States is a history which recognized God and His blessings. Protecting the Pledge of Allegiance from activist judges is recognition of this history. Thank God the House of Representatives had the courage to defend the Pledge of Allegiance as it now stands.
