Default It's the Law

THE LAW IS THE LAW

So if the US government determines that it is against the law for the words "under God" to be on our money, then, so be it.

And if that same government decides that the "Ten Commandments" are not to be used in or on a government installation, then, so be it.

And since they already have prohibited any prayer in the schools, on which they deem their authority, then so be it.

I say, "so be it," because I would like to be a law abiding US citizen.

I say, "so be it," because I would like to think that smarter people than I are in positions to make good decisions.

I would like to think that those people have the American Publics' best interests at heart.

BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I'D LIKE?

Since we can't pray to God, can't Trust in God and cannot Post His Commandments in Government buildings,

I don't believe the Government and it's employees should participate in the Easter and Christmas celebrations which honor the God that our government is eliminating from many facets of American life.

I'd like my mail delivered on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter. After all, it's just another day.

I'd like the US Supreme Court to be in session on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter as well as Sundays. After all, it's just another day.

I'd like the Senate and the House of Representatives to not have to worry about getting home for the "Christmas Break." After all it's just another day.

I'm thinking that a lot of my taxpayer dollars could be saved, if all government offices & services would work on Christmas, Good Friday & Easter.

It shouldn't cost any overtime since those would be just like any other day of the week to a government that is trying to be "politically correct."

In fact....

I think that our government should work on Sundays (initially set aside for worshipping God...) because, after all, our government says that it should be just another day....

What do you all think????

If this idea gets to enough people, maybe our elected officials will stop giving in to the minority opinions and begin, once again, to represent the 'majority' of ALL of the American people.

SO BE IT...........

Please Dear Lord, Give us the help needed to keep you in our country!

'Amen' and 'Amen'

These are definitely things I never thought about but from now on, I will be sure to questions those, in government, who support these changes.

At the top, it says "I hope this makes its way around the USA several times over!!!!!"

Let's see that it does. Keep it in your mailbox and resend it whenever someone new comes along.

Got this from a guy that lost his leg in Nam, me and Scout were there when it happen he hit a mine with his Tank, But he is a super guy email him a lot. JR

Default Re: It's the Law

I disagree with much of what you say.

Specifically: "If this idea gets to enough people, maybe our elected officials will stop giving in to the minority opinions and begin, once again, to represent the 'majority' of ALL of the American people"

Because I don't think the Government ought to be favouring anybody - majority OR the minority. Atleast, in a Republic it shouldn't. Maybe in a Democracy things can work that way.

But I like the way you think


And 'bout them holidays - well, I don't get any declared holidays, I'm still expected to show my ugly mug to work on holidays (hey, you soldiers understand that too, right?).

I'd like to see the Gummint put in the extra hours like a lot of us 'poor' citizens have to as well

John, oh so true while in what was a holiday lol and we sure did not get extra pay for working on one.. .. but not very many of them ever had to get leaches off them or wake up with a scorpion 2 in, from your face and a few other great things :icon_chee..
Was thinking if they had to work the holidays they may start voting in favor of the majority .. JR ..
