Traitorous bastards!   :mad:



Jail time is a good antidote for sabotage in war time.  The contractor who did this should be in jail, along with good ol' dick and george.  The asshole that put the biblical text on Pentagon briefings should be there to clean their cell.

No, that's partially the point now isn't it? You give them an inch and they will take twenty miles.

SEPARATION of church and state was paramount to the establishment of this nation. The founding fathers thought it was so important that they utilized language to make this point clear, while still acknowledging the individual right to practice it. Yet, the zealots keep trying to make it a part of government.

Scripture on gun-sights and governmental briefings is just the precursor to a national religion being imposed. NO WAY I say!  :no: :no: :no:

I think the anti-religious folks are responding to this, as the religious folks responded to "In God We Trut" as our motto....

I think it is wrong for the scriptureon gun-sights. but I think it is a far cry from imposing a national religion...as a mater of fact IF this never ever made the news, it would have never been an issue.....

That's a rhetorical question; right?
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

The "in god we trut" should have never happened, no more than under god in the child's poem known as the "pledge", when it was made "official" by the 1950's, right-wing congress (also when in-god-we-trust was added to paper money).  They should be repealed as unconstitutional, for a number of reasons.

Why is it that it has NOT been repealed?
