My buddy, Michael Newdow, the American Atheist is at it again.
This has nothing to do with Christmas really. This has to do with what a pain in the ass this guy is wasting our tax dollars; the one's that say "in God we Trust" on them.
I don't care if your religion is Atheism. It is a religion actually so says the 7th District Court. But I do not care because it is a free country and you can believe whatever you want. It's your 1st Amendment right.
This guy though originally went after the Pledge of Allegiance because of the phrase, under God in the middle of the thing. The real reason he went after it though stemmed from his divorce. See he was in a bitter custody battle over his daughter. One of the things he sought to protect her from was ex wife's choice of school and the fact that the school required her to say the Pledge. This guy didn't let it go and sort of became this spokesperson for rampant liberalism and the ACLU. He is a doctor and a lawyer.
He got shut down on his first bid by the Supreme Court, after the...you name it... The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of his case against the pledge. The Supreme Court shut him down because he did not have custody of his kid and therefore could remove the Pledge from the school she went to.
He's back and I guess he down there at the 9th Circuit Court today pleading his case. Which knowing their history... will back him again only to be shut down by the Supreme Court.
What I don't get... if he is so against the phrase "under God" then why does he use the money? Why does he trade in dollars? I mean credit cards and electronic funds do not say, "in God we Trust" on them? Imagine... Not just Visa... It's Citibank's In God We Trust Visa. You can live in this world quite well using electronic funds. But...does he have small change in his car for bridge tolls and shit and does he avoid the offending dollar any chance he has? I bet not... I bet there is a roll of Twenties bouncing around in the cup holder of his Prius or bio-diesel VW that he drives to these court cases.
This is just one of those stupid cases that give liberalism a bad name... It's guys like this that ruin it.
