Quite obviously the ACLU are a bunch of dirty scum rat bastards, out to fire people up and cause a ruckus.
Unfortunately, with this issue, there IS a "however."
Their issue with the pledge is quite valid, in my opinion, even though their reasoning and methods are dumb. Tyler is perfectly correct in saying that the words "under God" apply to all the major faiths that inhabit this country. Just to refresh, I'll quote the first Amendment, again: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
The fact that Congress made a law respecting any religion whatsoever, even if it IS all of them, is unconstitutional. The ACLU is claiming that it offends Muslims and Jews and Atheists. Fuck that, it should offend anyone that knows the words of the Amendment. Congress and Eisenhower took it upon themselves to insert religion, which one specificly doesn't matter, into our daily lives.
Don't get me wrong, I say the Pledge like I believe everyone should, because I understand and value what the Pledge is ACTUALLY to: Old Glory, our great flag, representing our great nation. Not the president, not the government, our NATION. That is the main thing. But the insertion of religion, which was to fight Communism, by the way, is indeed unconstitutional, though highly inconsequential. You rat bastard ACLU. Pick a better issue to waste money on.
