As far I I am conserned, people from other country are more than welcome to immigrate to America(LEGALY ANS THROUGH THE PROPER CHANNELS) but ist a bunch of B.S. for immigrant come come to this country and the first they they want to do is change this, then that. You came to this country knowing the way thing work, if you dont like it, get the hell out. I am not REALLY religous, but This country was based on God. Wheather the For Fathers were, Judeo-Chritian, Deists, Catholic, or what ever, this country was based on god. Nothing says you have to have that money, if you dont like it send it to me. This is the way the country has been for years and it should be that way until the day this counrty come to an end(an end hahahah). If you dont like it go live somewere else.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14869862760716397278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9976574.post-74295981425938808422008-09-10T22:28:00.000-04:002008-09-10T22:28:00.000-04:00Bill you are an idiot!

The bible says if we are ashamed of him then he will be ashamed of us. I believe removal of our statement of trust is a blunt act of distancing ourselves from where WE ALL come from. This nation was built on this motto and look how great it has treated us. Look at the country that has become so strong that all these other countries that do not "trust in god" rely on us. God is what makes us strong no matter what religion. To denounce him is to denounce our ancestry and our futures. I do not want my children growing up in a world without God. If you can so easily dismiss this truth, then you need to ask where is your faith. As far as Bush, that comment makes me laugh. I mean come on. You cannot blame "in god we trust" on you electing Bush for president. <BR/>I just feel like this nation takes for granted what we have that we'll all just sit back and let the government do as they choose and justify it. What they are doing is wrong with the presidential dollar coins and I think it's the beginning of much worse if we just stand by and do nothing.<BR/>I don't think that "in god we trust" is a single religions slogan, it represents God over all, no matter what religion.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01059551772862126855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9976574.post-7466027830535917332007-03-07T16:01:00.000-05:002007-03-07T16:01:00.000-05:00"The establishment clause of the First Amendment g..."The establishment clause of the First Amendment guarantees freedom of religion, not freedom from religion."<BR/><BR/>100% wrong. This is <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Establishment_clause" REL="nofollow">the Establishment Clause</A>:<BR/><BR/>"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion"<BR/><BR/>Like most fundies, you either don't understand the Constitution or you're deliberately lying, and it's clear that you don't have any respect for it. <BR/><BR/>There's a Free Exercise clause, which gives individuals the right to practice religion. Obviously, whether "In God We Trust" is written on a coin does not impact anybody's ability to practice religion. <BR/><BR/>The Establishment Clause prevents the government from establishing preferences of one religion over another or of religion over non-religion. Religious slogans on coins are a clear violation of this (although the Supreme Court has ruled that some violations of this clause are ok if they've been around for a long time).The Decidenatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11872162096068057855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9976574.post-27749416815219203162007-03-03T10:08:00.000-05:002007-03-03T10:08:00.000-05:00Incredible.The government has so debased our money...Incredible.<BR/><BR/>The government has so debased our money that the metal in a nickel is now worth over seven cents.

In the government, I want *individuals* whom I can trust to do their duty to the nation and to the Constitution. But when they can hide behind their "God", and claim that it is the same One in whom we trust, we get the likes of George Bush. And George Bush has done more to destroy the teachings of Jesus, Son of the God in whom We Trust, than any other president in history. Perhaps, if George had not been able to ask us to trust him, because we trust Him, the American people would have seen through the lies, and put a stop to George and his insanity.billev2khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01554607471378407118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9976574.post-80539764373780071922007-03-02T16:24:00.000-05:002007-03-02T16:24:00.000-05:00Another issue is that they are worthless and not a...Another issue is that they are worthless and not a "dollar" as defined in the Constitution, but a base metal IOU.Kent McManigalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05005964583189815410noreply@blogger.com
