Only in San Francisco...

I've been there, loved the city, but after seeing the people there and their general mentality, only there could something this ridiculous have found root...

A federal judge has declared it unconstitutional to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools.

It's happened before with the famed Michael Newdow, avowed atheist, and it has now happened again, based on the little loophole the Supreme Court left him. He found new families to be offended that the Pledge uses the phrase "Under God" and is shepherding them through the court system. This one will likely go to Mother of All Battles status. Expect the Right and Left to mobilize fully over it. Whether anything will actually come of it, hard to say. One never knows what nefarious and odious compromises might arise out of such a conflict.

This is one of those very big mud-slinging contests where everyone will get dirty. Let's dig in and get ready for the show. For a good primer, I advise reading David Limbaugh's excellent work, Persecution. He lays the groundwork for this battle quite well. Acknowledging that God has a place in our society is hardly establishing a Federal religion. It acknowledges, as our Founding Fathers often did, His place in our existence. That I see no problem with. If you strip away their religious and moral base, nothing defends the true Constitution, nothing.
