Now that would be the big picture.
My point is... far too many people are resorting to the advantages of photoshop to create their messages in such an artificial manner. It's now a rare occasion to see something real.
It seems like everything we get in e-mails regarding patriotic symbols are debunked. Especially the anti-liberal e-mails.
Whatever happened to authenticity?
People just found it too much of an inconvenience and took everything for granted instead.
What a sad thing to see.

No wonder why the average American is overweight.
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG, OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR WHICH IT STANDS, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
I was asked to send this on if I agree or delete if I don't. It is said that 86% of Americans believe in God. Therefore I have a very hard time understanding why there is such a problem in having "In God! We Trust" on our money and having "God" in the Pledge of Allegiance. Why don't we just tell the 14% to Shut Up and BE QUIET!!!

They're eroding the ideals of our Founding Fathers. Lack of God in the Pledge would NOT constitute atheism at all. If we were to say there's no god, we would have said, "There is No God" but we don't.
The God was not in the original Pledge, nor in originaly currency nor in the Consitution. The Founding Fathers were not Christians. They did not believe in theocracy and they warned against using the Christian religion in the government. They did believe that the Bible offered moral guidances but warned that it does not mean that we should put God in government. It was in 1950's when Christian extremists hijacked the government and put "In God We Trust" and "Under God". Thomas Jefferson and Madison Jefferson wouldn't approved of that.
