Time For a Little Rebellion
Patrick J. Buchanan
"I hold it, that a little rebellion, now and then, is a good thing, and as
necessary in the political world as storms in the physical."
So Jefferson wrote to fellow Virginian James Madison in the year Madison
authored his country's Constitution.
It's past time for "a little rebellion" against federal jurists who are
perverting that Constitution to make themselves petty dictators.
On June 26, a panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San
Francisco declared, 2 to 1, that the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the
United States is unconstitutional, as it contains the words: "under God."
When the decision becomes final, the Pledge will be forbidden in every
public school in Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana,
Nevada, Oregon and Washington.
That phrase, "under God," was put into the Pledge in 1954 by an act of
Congress and Dwight Eisenhower. It has been recited by millions of children.
Yet the court now says that it violates the First Amendment, which reads,
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or
prohibiting the free exercise thereof ..."
What religion did Congress establish with the words "under God"?
Catholicism? Methodism? The judges do not say. They only say that since
"under God" is not neutral about religion, it violates separation of church
and state.
Michael A. Newdow went to the court to prevent his second-grade daughter
from having to recite the Pledge. But since the Supreme Court ruled in 1942
that no one could be required to recite the Pledge, this sounds bogus.
Newdow's daughter could have remained silent.
But for this Sacramento atheist, silence is not enough. Since he is offended
by "under God," no schoolchildren are to be permitted to recite the words.
That was his demand. And two U.S. judges agreed that to permit the Pledge is
to confront his daughter "with an unacceptable choice between participating
and protesting."
Thus, because one child is troubled by having to decide to stay silent or
say the words "under God," no schoolchild in America can say the Pledge of
Allegiance to the flag of their country.
Not having met Newdow, let me yet say that what he did to his daughter -
exploiting this little girl to parade his anti-God bigotry - is revolting.
She will suffer more from the taunts and insult of playmates than she would
ever have by saying the Pledge or remaining silent.
America is the freest country in the world. It provides for oddballs like
Newdow by declaring they are not to be required to recite any pledge or
prayer. But for bigots like Newdow, freedom is not enough. Their agenda is
intolerance. They wish not only to be free from saying prayers and pledges
they despise, they want to deny the community the right to express its
patriotism and faith. The mindset is totalitarian.
The temptation is to demand that Congress impeach the two judges. But that
would make them martyrs. Congress should rather re-enact that 1954 law;
then, using its power to restrict court jurisdiction under Article III of
the Constitution, strip from all federal courts any right to rule on the
Pledge of Allegiance. Remove them entirely.
And as all federal courts below the Supreme Court are creations of Congress,
Congress should require reconfirmation of all federal judges after eight
years. This would give elected representatives of the people a way to grade
the performance of unelected judges, some of whom have forgotten the meaning
of judicial restraint.
As Newdow and these judges used a 7-year-old girl to impose an atheist
agenda on America, Congress should seize on this outrage to drive judges
back into the narrow stall set aside for them in the Constitution.
The ruling will not take effect until appeals have been heard. Attorney
General Ashcroft should take the decision directly to the Supreme Court. Let
us see which justices will hold that the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of
the United States violates the Constitution of the United States.
Let the Supreme Court have this opportunity to strike down not only the 9th
Circuit decision, but all court precedents upon which it is based, and
restore the original intent of Madison and the Framers.
Should the Supreme Court uphold the 9th Circuit, the country should defy the
Court. Conservatives and populists should seize on this attack on faith and
patriotism to restore constitutionalism to the courts and begin the
overthrow of a cultural revolution that judicial dictators, appointed for
life, have imposed upon us.
Yes, Mr. Jefferson, it's time for a little rebellion.
--
Atheism teaches that there is no God, hence no God-given rights. That
ideology coupled with a system that believed in the superiority of the state
at the expense of the individual was murderously synergistic.

Time For a Little Rebellion
No little Nazi, it is time for a lot of rebellion. This is nothing less than
the greatest war between all that is good and all that is evil in all
history. You are on the side of evil. Didn't your sky pixie god say that
many will come in his name and be false prophets but you will know them by
their fruits? Go and have a look at photos of the deformed children exposed
to D.U. ammo by your hero Bu$hler. Tell me who is the evil?

Don't Feed the Trolls!
On the Usenet, as in everyday life you will come across
people whose sole purpose in life is to wind other people
up. To which end they will post deliberately stupid, Off
Topic, or abusive posts, use bad netiquette and any other
means to get a large thread of responses going. These people
are known as 'Trolls' and you 'feed' a Troll when you
respond to it's post. Mostly Trolls are just trying to get a
response, but sometimes they will cross-post to another
group to either generate more traffic and cause more chaos
and/or start a flame war between groups with opposing view
points. Occasionally Trolls can be funny, but generally
their just annoying and best left alone or killfiled,(see
newsreaders below). Remember as feeding a Troll will
encourage it, and may even attract more Trolls, you may get
flamed for feeding a Troll.
