Allow an old man to vent for a minute - The ramblings of a patriotic old fart.

There is to be a seperation between church and state. Any reference to a god by the government is unconstitutional. I can respect that and the seperation issue is necessary. Without it, we can become a religious extremist nation.

I agree with you 1000% about the seperation between church and state. So there in lies the problem, our on government has added the words "Under God" and "In God We Trust" and has gone against the constitution and what it stands for. Dont get me wrong, I love this country, I tried to join the Army right out of highschool, but could not because of my eye, I want to defend our freedom's. I really think alot of the problems that we are facing are because of our own damn government, and instead of the U.S. trying to police the world, yes thats what I believe, we need to work on whats going on here in our home land first.

We all sit here and bad mouth anyone who is here on a visa that bad mouths this country, but ya know what, because of all the freedoms we have, they (even though it fuckin kills me) have the right and the freedom to do so. It's called freedom of speach. I also agree that all buildings, state or fedral, should not be decorating for any type of religious holidays.. Christmas, Kwanza,Easter, All Jewish holidays( not even trying to attempt to spell any of them). Also all public schools, witch are run by the state, should not give the kids off for Christmas break,Easter break, whatever. But then again, it's been along time since I was in school, they might have changed the names to the more PC Winter, and Spring Breaks.Anyway, I think that our freedom is what makes this country as great as it is, and if someone does not want to be patriotic, sing the SSB, say the pledge, whatever that is their freedom not to. Its also those same people freedom to bad mouth the government all they want. I know we all say, If you don't like it here leave, but alas, because of all of our freedoms, thay have every right to be here and worship and pray, and bad mouth all they want.

The concept of freedom can be a very fucked up and complicated issue now can't it?

Fuck my head hurts :crackhead:
