Its called the "Truth"....you should try to acquaint yourself with it some time....you appear to be complete strangers. There is your notion of the 'truth' and then there is just plain crazy...either way, the GOP has both covered pretty nicely: This Week in God Posted December 22nd, 2007 at 11:00 am "First up from the God Machine this week is a rather silly effort by some religio-political activists, who threw a fit when the new $1 coins featured the phrase “In God We Trust” on the edge of the currency, instead of the front. The uproar worked, and the phrase will be moved. According to the U.S. Mint, the motto was moved to the edge of the coin to draw attention to the inscription — and it did. Some coinage made it through without being stamped with the motto. And experts say it could rub off over time. “It was a bad idea, followed by bad employment of that idea, and now finally they are correcting that mistake,” said Brian Rooney, spokesman for the Thomas More Law Center. “That’s good news.” Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., sponsored legislation to move “In God We Trust” back to its proper home. It’s waiting for President Bush’s signature. “While it may not seem like much of a victory, I think it’s significant,” he said. Of course he does. He’s Sam Brownback. I’d just add that Dave Stotts, host of the conservative Drive Thru History series, told James Dobson’s Focus on the Family that moving “In God We Trust” to the edge of a coin might have been the first step in removing the phrase altogether. “I certainly can’t imagine growing up in a country and under a government that is atheistic and denies the existence and dependence on God,” Stotts said. One wonders if Stotts realizes that “In God We Trust” wasn’t added to all U.S. currency until the 1950s — meaning that 200 years worth of Americans, including the Greatest Generation, grew up in a country that had no religious messages on its money, and no reference to God in the Pledge of Allegiance. Somehow, we managed to become the greatest, most prosperous, most powerful country on earth anyway." BTW did you read my post on I-35......the holy highway? Some of your cohort have 'church' right on the exit ramps. You should join them....they talk a lot about 'truth' too.
