The American Civil Liberty’s Union: Why are they Against The Liberty’s of U.S. American Citizens?
Posted 8/3/2008 @ 6:33:19 am by semilife.com
Now this is my opinion, and probably only my opinion, but isn’t it time for We The People to take back what is rightfully ours. I remember and I know a lot of us do, when we were young and in Elementary school and even Junior High and even High School, having to say our Pledge of Allegiance to our Flag. The United States Flag. Does anyone else remember this? Does anyone else remember how we all felt back then? Probably. I do not think we honestly understood the meaning of what we were saying, or the meaning behind it. Let us look at this, really think about what we do have and what a Few lawyers, and people that really do not like freedom want to take away from U.S. In reading a website about Our Pledge of Allegiance, I came up with something that I do think that We The People should keep in mind. I am taking this right from that website.
Now why does the A.C.L.U. Want to make it so that our children do not have to or need to say this first thing in the morning. The American Civil Liberty’s Union Certainly is not doing anything for Americans. No, instead, they are taking away our Civil Liberty and this makes no sense to me whatsoever. Does this make sense to anyone in this country? To the American People I ask this question. Why is it that a few people in this country can change something that has been an institution in our schools without the Authority of the rest of U.S.? In 1892 and since then there have been changes three other changes made because the American People thought that those changes were necessary with the final change being done when President Dwight D Eisenhower made the final on Flag Day in 1954. It was included in the Flag Code (title 36) in June of 1942. So why when congress includes it, does a bunch of lawyers decide that it goes against the Constitution? Does this matter to anyone other than me? Well I do think so because it happens to be in our court system right now. However, I do not think that our courts have the right to overturn a Congressional Act. I could be wrong, but unless We The People gets into gear, we are going to lose something that a few Not So Good Men want to change. If we do not start telling Congress and the Senate what We The People, the people that really put them into office, how we feel, and then it is going to be our fault that things keep going in the wrong Direction. We also need to let them know it is their job to do what we want them to, not what they think needs to be done for us. Sharon Herro, one of my astute colleagues had this to say about this article and I thought am thankful for her input: I Pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands One Nation Under GOD with Liberty and Justice for all. I said this pledge every morning in grade school, there were no students complaining that they were being forced to do this. We all held our hands over our hearts and recited together.Now the ACLU is telling us that we are forcing children to say this pledge and making them believe in GOD. No we are not!!! America is home of the free land of the brave right? The ACLU needs to fight for our rights to say our Pledge, stand and take our hats off to respect our Flag, to say Merry Christmas not just Happy Holidays, They need to protect our rights as Americans to enjoy our freedoms that our uniformed men and women fight for. The ACLU is changing the rules for the few and not the many. They listen to one person complaining and change our rights to suit that individual. What about our rights? They do not have to say the Pledge if they do not want to, but at least stand and be respectful to those of us who do. If they are that unhappy here with our laws and what have you, then by all means go live somewhere else and see how many rights you have. But leave my rights alone. Your rights stop where mine begin. Let the ACLU ponder that. When we go into another country we are expected to respect their laws and right, why cannot they do the same for us and quit trying to change our country to be like theirs.Without We the People having anything to say about things, then the way that I look at it, we might not have our freedoms if We The People let organizations like the American Civil Liberty’s Union, others decide what freedoms, and liberty is that we are going to have. http://www.homeofheroes.com/hallofheroes/1st_floor/flag/1bfc_pledge.html--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have a comment to make on this, please let us know how you feel about this, or any other articles that you may have an opinion on.
