"JudeoChristian Doctrine" Can you tell me where freedom of speech, equal rights, the right to assemble and democracy come out of that doctrine?

God Bless America is a phrase used by the President. Any who suggest in this time that the words of our President are divisive are idiot's or traitors seeking to give aid to the enemies of America and all men of good will. tom watson tosiwmee

The ACLU is claiming it is unconstitutional for a school recieving federal funds to display a banner reading "GOD bless America." That is an example of the most outrageous interpretation of the Constitution currently gospel. The 1st Amendment does not say that government must be a religious clean-room, totally and completely divorced from even mentioning something that could be even remotely construed as religious. It clearly says that the (federal!) government can not make a law regarding the establishment of religion, or the free exercise thereof. That means, no "official" Federal Church, no laws giving special rights or privileges to certain religions, or something of that sort. As a matter of fact, I say it could be argued that any federal law abridging the right of a school or individual in any way regarding religion is unconstitutional, not the other way around. To say writing and displaying the word GOD is unconstitutional is absurd. Derek
