New Pledge of Allegiance

Since the Pledge of Allegiance   
And   
The Lord's Prayer   
Are not allowed in most   
Public schools anymore   
Because the word 'God' is mentioned.....   
A kid in   Arizona wrote the attached    
NEW School prayer:   

Now I sit me down in school   
Where praying is against the rule   
For this great nation under God   
Finds mention of Him very odd.   

If scripture now the class recites,   
It violates the Bill of Rights.   
And anytime my head I bow   
Becomes a Federal matter now.

Our hair can be purple, orange or green,   
That's no offense; it's a freedom scene..   
The law is specific, the law is precise.   
Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

For praying in a public hall   
Might offend someone with no faith at all..   
In silence alone we must meditate,   
God's name is prohibited by the state.   

We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,   
And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks...   
They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.   
To quote the Good Book makes me liable.

We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,   
And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.   
It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,   
We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong..   

We can get our condoms and birth controls,   
Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles..   
But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,   
No word of God must reach this crowd.    

It's scary here I must confess,   
When chaos reigns the school's a mess.   
So, Lord, this silent plea I make:   
Should I be shot; My soul please take!   
Amen    

When did freedom of religion become freedom from religion. God help us.Oooopppsss.

What I don't get is why is Christmas still a paid holiday for federal, state and municipal workers, if those governments won't publicly recognize it.

Great poem and comments.
As for Phosher's comments -Besides "independent thinkers" who did you expect? Just curious. I've only surfed the maintenance and repair sections of this website over the years and it seems like people from all walks of life and all areas of the world.
People get too caught up in the R's and D's to see through the trees sometimes.They are also way to concerned about being politically correct and offending someone.I believe we need to respect other people's opinions, but we also need to toughen up as a society and quit being so whiny (IMHO)

school uniforms would solve alot of social, religious, and political problems in the districts...obviously there will be naysayers, but it sure would save me from buying 100.00 fcn tiawan made Nikes

Eric, I have to agree, but it should go further. When you are in America you should respect the chosen language and learn it. I am tired of having to cater to the spanish speaking people. With all due respect to them, there are French, Polish, Russian, numerous Asian and Indian dialects, Greeks etc. They all use english as a common language.


When I go to Kmart if I want to enter I push the bar on the glass door and open it manually. If I choose to entrada the door opens automatically. WTF?

It takes years, sponsors and tons of paperwork for a European to get a green card to come and go to America to visit, yet walk across the Mexican border and pick what you like off the give away menu.


These days it has been decided (by who I don'tknow) that we must be PC. Well that to me is BS!!!!


As for the pants hanging with the undies showing. That is my style but I have one hell of a gut and have no choice as to how my pants fit. That look is one I feel needs to be earned, not just belly wannabies mimicking my fashion.

Oh, they all scream we absolutely MUST get Christianity out of our schools! Seperation of church and state!! But, I bet the "progressives" wouldn't bat an eye to have an Islam prayer put in schools in the name of tolerance and acceptance.....and political correctness.   

Not sure its true or not, but, I heard that the city council in Hartford CT is going to open up all their meetings with a muslum prayer. Any of you New England guys know if thats true?? Please tell me it was just a crazy rumor.

All this stuff is adding up, and the "folks", as Bill O'Reilly calls us, are getting fed up. I think this country has awakened to all this cr*p. Thank you Harry Ried, Nancy Pulosi, and Dear Leader Obama! At least you have done something positive for the country in that sense.
