I like the fact that we adhere to Judeo-Christian morals. I like 4 or 5 of the ten commandments.

My only issues with the "Under God" part of the Pledge of Allegiance is:

1. It wasn't added until 51 years ago... so it's not like striking it is altering it from it's original form. It's actually restoring it's authenticity.

2. It is sort of exclusionary to the other religions. Me.... I don't really care. The pledge did it's job indoctrinating me to American Patriotism. I bleed Red, White and Blue. I'd sure like to have all the peaceful people of other faiths loving this country and fighting for her as hard as I do.

I think we have an overall fracturing of America. For what reason I am not smart enough to know. Maybe it's that for many years Christians were an overwhelming majority, and others had to lay low and conform to survive, and today, the overwhelming majority no longer exists.

I think it MAY be in our best interest to try to be inclusive rather than exclusive.

That said... I think immigrants should learn english. I think ILLEGAL immigrants should go home.
